@Anker That's a really nice looking Caterham. I'll be looking forward to seeing how your experiences with it play out. Cheers,

The simplicity of it is wonderful to see. Like others here, I'll be looking forward to the updates. Cheers,

@pksurveyor I was just showing my wife your garage & setup. She actually thought it was pretty cool. Thanks for making my (future) toy requests look very reasonable. I owe you one. :cheers: Cheers,

@lotusman1951 Perhaps it means there is something better to come?

I'm not sure what happened there. I posted 2 images, but the links to them show as invalid now. Here is (I hope) a re-post with the images attached. ---------------------------------------------- @Croc Perhaps only a styling geek like me would care, but it is a feature to some degree in all the Caterhams and many sevenesque clones too. Here are 2 examples of Caterhams. One is from your thread and one is an older Caterham, which is taken from a company publicity photo. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14750&stc=1 http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14751&stc=1 http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14755&stc=1 http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14756&stc=1 I think it ads a lot of personality to the rear view. I like the Caterham example (top rail slope/curve too). I'm doing something similar to my Locost based on a 25 degree angle, which is close to the kickup on a New Zealand Leitch 7, but wanted to see how that compared to the modern Caterham setup. If I can get the actual Caterham angle, I'll likely change my design to suit. Cheers,

Has anyone seen a specification for (or measured) the angle a modern Caterham rear kickup makes with the ground plane? I'm including a modified version of an image recently posted by Mike in his Brands Hatch thread because it illustrates the question perfectly. In this case it's a Caterham 420R in the photo.

What's the bedliner spay you're going to use, Joe? I'm looking for something to use on my Locost build. Cheers, Lonnie

Nice photos, Ron. I'm surprised everyone is having trouble recognizing the driver of that hot rod. Since I know, I'll just add a hint and not spoil the game. His first name is Don. Cheers,
