If you are in the market for a Caterham in Canada I bet he could hook you up with something https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/red-deer/caterham-sv-hayabusa/1413694224?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Deman SR7 https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/oshawa-durham-region/lotus-deman-sr7-hayabusa/1396718417?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Locost body moulds https://www.kijiji.ca/v-auto-body-parts/vancouver/lotus-locost-7-body-moulds/1410400216?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true For those in Canada, given you (lucky) residents have a 15 year import limitation then a Japan used seven import may just work given how depreciation curves work over time provided you dont mind RHD. People forget that Birkin's biggest export market is Japan. Caterham is pretty big in Japan after Europe - certainly sell more than in the USA. There are 2 sites in Engrish: http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/ and https://www.tradecarview.com/ Follow the instructions. Fly and inspect if needed. RoRo for cheap shipping. Offload in Vancouver. Very popular with a bunch of dealers who have worked out the profit potential. Inquiries can be emailed in English - clearly you have to since the ads are somewhat lacking key data. For example: Here is a Birkin Crossflow http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/BIRKIN/BIRKIN_SEVEN/700903047530180405001/index.html A Caterham with Vauxhall twin cam http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/CATERHAM/CATERHAM_OTHER/700101056530181003001/index.html A Caterham BDR http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/CATERHAM/SUPER_SEVEN/700973104830180731001/index.html Caterham rotary https://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/caterham/caterham+others/23750159/?isNew=1 If US buyers like crossflows then there is plenty of range available - more than offerred in the US.
  3. Ron - Great video. Perfect Sunday drive. But you scared the deer away!
  4. Welcome Bryan! :seeya:
  5. Wow...great progress so quickly. You are keen to get out on the roads soon. :cooldude:
  6. Hi Bruce, I have driven the 270 on the street and had the 310 on the track. Difference between 270 and 310 is about 10hp if you round up. The 270 is a great little backroads car. Plenty of hp for that purpose. Think of it as a crossflow (125-135hp) or basic zetec (140hp) type of performance level. The Sigma sounds pretty good too. I could not tell the difference between the 270, 310 or my maroon zetec in relative hp - all felt the same. I liked the Sigma engine over the base Zetec though - seems to rev happier and sounds better. I dont have any video of the 270 on track but I had a 310R at Donington, Silverstone and Brands Hatch last year. It was boring at Silverstone - too wide and too many straights. Loved it at a tighter circuit like Brands and was very well suited at Donington. Donginton video below. Silverstone below - seems vmax there was 111mph. Ignore the moving map on that video - had me 150 feet ahead of my true location. Speed is accurate. You would never see 122mph in real life - thats a theoretical max. All Caterham published top speeds are based on redline and standard gearing and diff. Using a big open track like Silverstone (or Spa-Francorchamps or NJMP) as a base then real life relative circuit max using GPS speed (not dash board speedo speed) would be roughly: 270 108mph 310 111mph Base Zetec 113mph R300 118mph 420R 121mph CSR 130mph Caterham speedos read roughly 10% higher than GPS speed at the high end. Obviously the bigger the hp then the quicker you approach vmax. If you need more power then Premier Power in the UK offer upgrade kits for the Caterham Sigma. cheers mike

  8. I thought the website was always up? Has not been updated in close to a decade since they moved here to NYC. Last I heard, Angus was doing work in the Far East.
  9. There were a variety of Team Caterham color schemes put on to production Caterhams with light, medium and dark green metallic. The light and medium greens are above. The dark green is here
  10.

  14. But he is! He plays piano on Thursday and Friday nights at the Golden Banana Club in Peabody, MA. Responds well to anyone buying him bourbon neat!
  15. I think these may be csr rears and fronts and so absolutely no use to you.
  16. Do you have a part number Mike? It will be sourced from AP Racing. I have a bunch of Caterham rotors but no idea if any are what you need? I will be at the garage this weekend and can check.
  17. The Caterham for sale is in Richmond, Quebec, Canada. Its near Sherbrooke. The clue is in the French text to the ad. That makes it a 30 min drive to Asbestos, Quebec where the truck is located.
  18. Kitchen counters? But they were replaced last year. Didn’t the nanny like them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Some additions - Roman hopes to be resurrected by then - add Seb on - hopefully with the Swedish nanny?
  20. Not sure if I like the bonnet lifted up to provide extra intake but I guess the turbo Datsun engine needs it?
  21. Well, I went out to deepest darkest Pennsylvania to have a dinner rendevous with some track buddies, the better halves, some USA7s club members - Jeff, Simon and Tom - and I did not take the laptop.

  25. I thought I would make this a National Event posting given we draw participants from NH, MA, CT, NY, NJ, PA, OH, MO, TX, FL, CO, MD, and VA. Save the Date - Sevens HPDE - June 28-30, 2019 at NJMP We had some difficulty this year getting a date scheduled for this year. NJMP has seen significant growth in the Drivers Club membership program. This places pressure on the track time available for a dedicated session like we have been getting in prior years. We evaluated the option of a dedicated track rental and as it stands now we do not have the numbers to make the prices work. It is likely that this will be the last year of the event unless we get very lucky next year. So if you always wanted to attend and put it off until now then this is likely your last chance. Tentative program is: Friday June 28 - Arrive and set up in pits. 3pm karting competition. 6.00pm drinks around the pool followed by a casual dinner sitting outside by the pool. Pay as you go for food and drinks. Saturday June 29 - Sevens HPDE session on Thunderbolt Circuit. Breakfast and lunch included. Dinner at Andrea's of Millville -pay-as-you-go and BYO Sunday June 30 - Sevens HPDE session on Lightning Circuit. Breakfast and lunch included. Clubhouse Dinner. For those who wish to stay around and there is enough interest then I can arrange a limited test day program on Thunderbolt (Wed 7/3/19 or Thurs 7/4/19) or Lightning (Tues 7/2/19 or Wed 7/3/19 or 7/4/19) for a small group of 3-4 cars - open pit lane format. Let me know by PM quickly if you are thinking of extending your stay and wish to participate. Costs are estimated as: Karting - $60-70 pp Mini GP program with practice and a race plus trophies HPDE - $250 per car (including driver) per day. Prices have gone up but are still $100-150 per day cheaper than commercial operators Visitors during the HPDE - NJMP Drivers Club charges $50pp. This covers breakfast, lunch, all refreshments and allows a visitor to accompany an instructor on track. A number of the participants are instructors Dinners - Depends on what you order and drink. Andreas will likely be around $40 per person. BYO The NJMP Clubhouse will be less - again depending on what you order or drink If you are thinking of potentially attending then I suggest you make reservations now. Millville is close to the Jersey Shore and as a result accommodation tends to get booked out with high prices. Your basic options for accommodation: On track property - camping sites (incl power) available for a fee. Pit Suites (motel suites above the Thunderbolt pits), Villas - 1 to 3 bedroom, ideal for families In Millville (4-5 miles) - Fairfield Inn, Holiday Inn Express In Vineland (6-7 miles) - Hampton Inn, Ramada, Springhill Suites, Days Inn I will post full details once things have come together. Feel free to ask questions by reply here Tom and I look forward to seeing everyone! :seeya:
