Kitcat’s cat’s for sale

[Kitcat]

Update: my beloved Caterham is being sold. A forum member who wants to start racing has contacted me, a fair price has been agreed upon, down payment received, and delivery is in 10 days.

 

The car was uniquely attractive to the buyer  as it has all of the required safety items for racing. Even the fuel cell is still current.

 

 I probably spent more time debating this sale than I did  any other decision in my life:).The deciding factor was simply that, at age 75, I have become less able to handle the car’s  physical demands (noise, heat, vibration etc.). The adrenaline hit was no longer sufficient to offset the toll the car took on my body.

 

 I am still bombing around racetracks in my Miata and terrorizing drivers half my age:).Folks who have tracked with me at NJMP jnow what I mean. So all is not lost. And, there is no law that says I can’t buy another one some time in the future.

 

I plan to still hang out here, so the USA7S component of my car life will remain.

 

In the meantime, keep the faith and keep blattin.

The Sevens event at NJMP just got a whole lot safer and there is no longer and risk of stone damage.   You in a hairdressers car is appropriate 🤣.  So long Mike. I was looking forward to a spirited debate with you but I knew you’d turn tail and run this year.

Understandable decision in the circumstances.  You still have an invite to bring the Miata to NJMP for a regular run group in September at the USA7s event.

That’s a tempting offer Croc, made even more so by the opportunity to expalin, yet again, to Tom (YellowSS) that it’s not too late for him  to receive political enlightenment:).

So, I have it on my calendar and, if all goes well, I  will be there in my Miata with the same power as my Caterham, but carrying an extra  1,000 lbs!
 

Although I won’t be in your run group I will hang

with the se7ens in the paddock, etc. I just hope it’s not like bringing a Birkin to a LOG event:)!

So, does this mean I can only expect another 7 years of ownership with my Seven? 

 

We both bought our first Seven at around the same time.  Of course, you cycled through them, and I’m still on my first!

 

I will not be surprised if you end up returning to the fold, but glad in the mean time that you will continue to hang out here.
