  1. Love that one...in particular driving behind the BBC News broadcast...that was classic But I still say the amphibus car challenges were the best.
  2. Now I doubt that I'm the only one who watches this car show, but this is was last week's show. And I figure everyone would get a kick of this. The Caterham isn't the fastest thing in the car world...but it's close. :hurray: 2 parts 10min total http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMqVEHLeiMI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCcZIFZZ_z8 And while I'm thinking about it...I'll repost...from the same show another Caterham race video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dr84JGO8Lw Enjoy.
  3. Mine. Thank You Al. Wouldn't have even found it without you. And beware...questions will be coming.
  4. That is a beautiful car...simply beauty.
  5. Where's the flowers...you can't have a paint job that colorful without having a peace sign and/or flowers on it as well...check you local highway code...besides its not even a VW... on a more serious note, it is a well done paint job...and didn't he say he had a BDT engine for sale too?
  6. Hey Avery, That SEi from Autopro you were looking at...I think it was that one...just turned up for sale on the Manik used page 2 days ago and its still for sale here on AutoPro's site. slngsht said it was a "Solid car"...might be worth asking about if your intrested in something now...asking 23900 And Jeff Sloan (BritAuto) said he "might" be getting a used caterham in "in the next couple of weeks"...i got to see the one he was talking about...2 other people had been asking him to post pictures of it...but I haven't seen the pictures posted yet... so it could have already sold... or he might not have actually got it yet...never know.
  7. See...I knew that one was old
  8. Birkin AB100 smog exempt registration...for those that need it. Don't know when this was put for sale (Can't seem to find that date), but when listed by posting date it was on the top of page 3 of 3...so its not a new posting, but it might still be worth asking about if someone is looking Anyone from Utah looking?
  9. Avery, I'm very new as well, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. First...enjoy your date. Women, due to their good fuel economy, are probably soon going to be cheaper and more fun than a sports car soon anyway...that didn't sound quite right...but you know what I mean. I seems to me based off of the generally friendly, sociable, and obsessed people that are on this forum that there will be more gathering to go to in the future...so no worries. Now I'm 6'2"-3" ish, I went to the local Caterham dealer just to see if I fit. he had an old 72' that was his personal racer...couldn't get into that...no way. Then he had me jump into a newer Caterham classic. I could get it, but my knees were on the steering wheel, and I had to take off my shoes to actually be able to work the pedals (size 13 Tevas...not good shoes to test fit a Seven in). But he said with a thinner style seat I'd probably be able to fit in a classic. Then I got to get in to a Caterham SV...fit perfectly...even with my sandles...I really didn't want to get out on the car. Point being, you actually do need to see what you physically can fit into before you make a decision. Several guys pointed that out, and they are bang on. I'm luck t have local examples around me. I have a Caterham Dealer, The US Westfield importer and a dealer, And a third place that speciallizes in Caterhams and Birkins (with a Birkin in stock). I still need to go to the Westfield and Birkin guys to see how I like the fit of those before I figure out what I want. I would Really suggest you take some of these guys up on their offers to see what their cars are like in person so you can see what you need. Caterham classics got longer cockpits sometime in the early 80's I think, and some newer Cats have seats, narrower transmission tunnels, lowered floors (that might be westfield...its late and I'm not thinking strait) that all change the room you have to fit into. And getting a ride in someone else's car when they know what its limits are, how much power they have, convience options (tail pipe in the back to reduce noise, roof, diffrent rims/tires etc.), it will help you figure out what you want in yours. Its more fun to play with toys with others, than by yourself...I'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to get someone here to take you for a spin. :7fume: Oh...and anyone in the DFW area who wants to show me a Seven... :nopity: ...I'll pay for ga$$$
  10. that's a cool motor...and for anyone else new (like me) who had never heard of a DBR before click here
  11. on ebay 93' Caterham and it even has a cosworth...come on, someone here wants it ...and on a side note, Manik Technologies updated their webpage...so there is actually stuff there now to look at...finally
  12. That's just an off center reverse light...Ohhhh...Mystery solved....and the world is a calmer place again Oh for the days when I didn't have OCD :nopity:
