    Watch out for the spring pops out if you decide to open the switch for service.

    Most likely the switch is bad. It is not uncommon on a Caterham because the switch is a cheap plastic POS. The ignition needs to be "on". I have replaced the switch on all three of my Caterham. Ask for stoplight switch for a 1978 Jeep CJ at Autozone. It is a bit long requires a little bending of the terminal. http://www.autozone.com/electrical-a...6467_0_0_98519

    The low price makes Polaris attractive. But how many of the buyers are as loyal as the Seven owners in a few years from now?

    I used a Walmart jetski battery. It works fine on my three Caterham.

    I agreed with BlueMax. The cost depends on the degree of paint and finish you desired. Another consideration is the amount of labor involved to take apart the car for painting and re-assemble the car afterward. My R300 was raw aluminum with carbon fiber wings. The cost of clear coat the wings was part of the paint job. The dollars added up pretty quick.

    There are about 15 Seven in the Houston area. A couple of the Caterham owners are very mechanical inclined and knowledgeable on the bits and pieces of the little cars. Lotus Owners of South Texas has a monthly meeting this Saturday 11 am 4/16/16 at Phoenix on Westheimer. http://phoenixow.com/, Join their Facebook and Yahoo site for information. https://www.facebook.com/groups/118370430602/, https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/lotus_ownerssouthtexas/info.

    Several LOST asked me to thank you for your excellent pictures. Next time hop in a Caterham and take some "live" photos.

    Contact James Leasure in Austin at Longhorn Racing Academy. He was a Caterham owner. https://www.facebook.com/lracademy/?fref=ts

    My office garage is fully covered and gated if you consider driving 150 miles from Houston to Austin.

    The JPE yellow is my R300. The Stalker is for sale. Rene removed the face shield on her helmet because she was complaining about wind lifting her helmet off her head.

    Amber's FSR is the fastest car on the track. Ken's green CSR is next.

    Lotus Owner South Texas (LOST) had a track day on 11/14/15 at Grandsport Speedway in Hitchcock, Texas. Pictures were taken by a Caterham owner. http://photos.barbierifamily.org/Sports/Cars/20151114-LOST-Track-Day-at-Gra/

    I also have a set of the stalk mount side mirrors. The Brit gentleman who made them unt shut down his business years ago.

    Houston has several active Caterham owners covering just about all models - Zetec, SVT, Fireblade, CSR260, R300, R400, R500. Let us know what you are looking for.

    An enclosed trailer provides security from prying eyes to allow peaceful sleep at strange motels. Double axles provides redundancy in the event of a flat tire and the additional stability in strong cross winds. My trailer has traveled from Texas to Canada. Your Tundra mileage will be in the 10 to 11 mpg range if it has the same 5.7 liter V-8 as my Landcruiser.

    I had the opportunity to meet Johnty during the USA2005 event. Several of us were helping the early arrival Brits getting their Seven ready for the trip in a warehouse near the Houston airport. Johnty was a real gentleman.

    Question: Did the McLaren just lap the Caterham CSR? Or did the Caterham just about to lap the white car?

    Is your exhaust wrapped or coated? It makes a difference.
