Looks like 7's come in either very bright colors, or the Green with Yellow. The Sage & Gold I suppose is a solfter version? The Green and Yellow at NJMP last weekend was so nice....

The whole hood thing looks so big and awkward. Those half hoods fit the roof and car lines way better. I suppose the car will hardly ever have the hood thing up... So in the scheme of things, it is not really an issue, I suppose.

Is this fender gap normal? Is it adjustable? I dont recall other Caterhams with 15" wheels having this kind of gap.

The Whole hood situation is not attractive.

Recieved a few more photos of the car today from Rob.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Looking forward to participating next year.

Darn, i may need to drive....Looks like gusts to 30 are forecast.

I remember Al's name... I think he was active on the forums back then.

Id not have noticed back then, but theres a 7 there too.

I think i can attend. Likley bring one or both Boys. I havent been to a car show in a long time. Fun fact, my Elise was featured at the entrance of the 2008 NY Autoshow.

Keeping things updated after seeing my car in person I realized the the black leather wheel may work, but after reflection I decided the car may look better with matching leather- Biscuit (GP077) I sent a note to my new friends at Moto-Lita and asked it they could do another they replied yes, but do not carry the exact matching color. A few emails later and with the help of a few folks at Caterham, we were able to connect with the shop that does Caterham’s leather work. (OXTED TRIMMING CO LTD). Oxted shared they generally do not sell just the leather but may be able to help. A few days later it was determined, while they did have the right color hide, they did not have the center section that Moto-Lita needed. So Oxted connected me with their supplier Scottish Leather Group. a few emails later they shipped a whole new hide of biscuit over to Moto-Lita. the wheel was trimmed up and best of all, they shipped me the rest of the hide so I’ll be able to have a local shop trim up the roll bar. Worth noting. When we had the first wheel done up, they shared they did not have the tooling to do a single piece. That I’d need Phiths (the bits of leather on the spokes. with the new wheel they shared that they solved the tooling issue and now it’s all on piece. Now I’ll have 3 steering wheels to suit my mood I suppose. I ordered 2 QR hubs after a bit of help from a forum member earlier. So deciding with wheel to use will be as easy as deciding what shoes I wear.
