Just remember, I can only vouch for the original owner/operators, Bruce and Margaret, I have no real information other than what I posted above. Maybe stop in one day and scope it out. Bill S.

Contact Bruce's Speed shop in Rockaway, NJ, while the namesake Bruce is no longer with us (RIP), the folks that bought out the business also have an engine shop around the corner and might be able to do the tuning. Bill S.

Awaiting a classification inquiry for my green 289 roadster In the past, similar cars have been disqualified from the show because they were not originally produced in the 60's-70's or earlier. Having allowed later produced Caterham vehicles (like yours) to participate last year, we will see what this year brings.

Just class/car set up and management issues, nothing horrific for you guys, not something to discuss further in public.

After last years debacle, I've chosen to not attend this year, either with or without a relevant automobile Have a great time. Bill

NJ does not allow for 3rd party companies to do private party registrations, especially when it comes to kit cars such as your Caterham. I did it two dozen or so times while still living in NJ. It's not rocket science in NJ, contact the specialty titles division by stopping at their offices at 225 E State St,Trenton, calling them at 609-292-6500 x5064 or 609-292-4571 and ask for the "kit car" packet. Follow the rules to the letter. The Cobra replica community has this pretty well locked down, see the attached url for the basics: https://factory5roadster.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/11-4-11-nj-state-legal/ Not much has changed since then except the lack of the Morristown inspection station, which got wiped off the map after Hurricane Sandy.

10 Of The Least Aerodynamic Cars Ever Made

1979-1993 Mustangs, my own 82 Mustang GT road race car (stock body shape) being an aerodynamic brick at anything above 128mph. -

Help picking a tow vehicle and trailer for my Caterham
mrmustang replied to savagete2860's topic in General Sevens Discussion
Sorry to hear about the Tahoe, it did it's job and sacrificed itself to protect you, the passenger though.......Keep that in mind. Also, it may or may not be totaled, unless it's age related......When I still had my bodyshop, I fixed worse. Bill -
Having dealt with major overseas related companies either importing or exporting their goods for close to or over 30 years, I can tell you they pad their pricing for such an occurrence (some have confidentially told me in the past up to 40% in some cases). Some will eat some of the losses, others will pass only part of it to you the consumer, others will keep their quiet profit and pass along to the consumer so as to not affect their bloated bottom line(s).

I do not recommend Uship, I'm still getting calls, emails, and texts asking if I'm ready to ship a car I have not owned for 14 years. As far as one way rentals, yet, Uhaul will rent you just a trailer if you have a vehicle in which they deem safe to tow it with. Ford Explorers, regardless of year are prohibited, anything weighing less then the trailer and vehicle you plan to town on it are also prohibited. Class III hitch required, along with wiring for their running, turn, and brake lights. Me personally, I'd rent one of the smaller box trucks to tow their trailer, spend a few extra dollars on their insurance for the same, and be done with it. I have towed their trailers one way with two (2000 & 2023) Expeditions, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee (2001) without an issue.

In defense of the OP's statement, we had a 3 hour delay of our flight in December 2010 due to snow, sleet, and freezing rain at the Tampa airport. You think SC people panic, you would have thought the world was physically coming to an end that day. Bill

I had a full deck 18' Worthington back in the 90's, sold it and bought a Trailex at the time, the one they call a 911 trailer CT-7551 -

Do you have specs on the trailer you have, or was it a one off custom build? -

Sorry, this is a news story that has already run it's course in regards to the suggested target, I'm really thinking if there was anything that implicated Trump, the Democrats would have leaked it long before the election cycle ran it's course. After all, they had all of the files for years prior. -
Caterham states 4" wider, another 4" longer in the passenger compartment Here is a thread from 2017 on the subject, a search of the archives shows other comparisons between a S3 (standard chassis) and a SV (wider, slightly longer chassis)

Politics sucks It does nothing but divide the people of the country United we prosper, divided we fail Ask yourself, who wants to stir the pot and see us fail? I'll leave it at that.
