slngsht Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Another UK / BlatChat member saying Hi! Purchased an ex-Academy Caterham back in 2007. Sold it last summer and, somehow (against expectations), within 2 weeks I'd purchased an SV Caterham (1.8 k series). Joined here following on from this post - http://blatchat.com/t.asp?id=239317 Will be trawling the threads for more info on new / second hand purchase of a Caterham (or maybe even a Westie) - and maybe even posting up a few questions. Already been warned that a newbuild might be problematic if I'm based in Boston / MA. welcome aboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokko Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Welcome Blokko, If you are moving to Mass., maybe you can road trip to NJMP over 4 of July weekend and have some fun. Sounds like there will be a great turnout.... Just read your posts on Blat, Croc already filled you in on the important details... Cheers, Steve Unfortunately I'm already have vacation booked for the first 2 weeks of July - Wolverhamton (UK) to Loire Valley (France) then Normandy d-day beaches on the route home. Will be about 2.5k miles round trip - in the Caterham, of course :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taber10 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I have a great picture of Guy--although Terri is more "photogenic"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokko Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Tell them hello from me. We had a great time on the blat. Are you coming over for the Polar Bear Blat in 2015? Before this whole move to Boston thing cropped up, we had expressed an initial interest in attending PBB. Our enthusiasm dimmed though when we saw that the itinerary included a return journey by boat - my wife just wouldn't be able to handle that (our last two tours involved boats - France last summer and the Se7ens List tour to Northern Ireland. Both times Jayne was very ill on the crossings and vowed "never again". We are going back to France this summer and we are going by Eurotunnel) If by some miracle I had a 7 in the US I'd love to organise a Se7ens List tour of New England (maybe into Canada). The original 2005 tour was a little before I joined that Caterham / Se7ens List fold - would have loved to have been on that tour (despite the shipping issues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindcars Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Wanted to drop in and welcome myself as I am sure I will kill with my questions lol. Semi retired, by trade an Electrical technician for Chevron Chemical. Widowed ( lost wife to breast cancer) three kids (all are off on their own. I am a contradiction to most peoples idea of a car nut (hint is my user name ). I am legally blind (eye disease called RP), don't drive anymore but own an Austin Healey BJ8, an Austin Healey Bugeye, and now a WCM Ultralight LM. I see the wheels turning... What is an LM? A very swoopy body that is built on the Ultralight SR2 chassis. Beneath the skin is the same chassis and components . Will post pics within the next week. tada Edited April 1, 2014 by Blindcars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the one I'm thinking of (please correct me if I'm wrong), I remember seeing it setting in his shop a handful of times along with a V8-powered Lotus 11 replica he was developing at the time.

terminalIron Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hello all, I’m new to the forum. Part of my introduction is a call for help, I’m at such a loss but 1st. from this side of the rock my name is Skip. Residents, Long Beach, CA. I’m a sculptor/fabricator. From one off part fabrication/restorations such as a client’s missing fender, I’ll reproduce an exact duplicate by hand. Small castings utilizing lost wax/sand in Bronze, Aluminum and steel. When opportunity is slow I’m on the road in the position of Sr. Project Manager on capital projects. I've had the Super Stalker itch for several years and now feel it’s time to scratch. I’m very close to pulling the trigger on a 2005 3.8 Super Charged with 6,867 total miles. Power Plant per Car Fax-Year 2004 Grand Prix @ 4938 miles during time of build. Now my call for help Please. My concern is of registering in the state of California. I've seen several run around my area but d*** it man such an elusive animal to catch. Owners apparently know where the gas pedal lives. So, not having the opportunity 1st. hand to capture answers to my questions from Ca owners I threw an email to BruntonAuto, Mr. Scott Brunton inquiring on said and have not been responded to as yet. Next pursuit for info was to visit a few local speed shops x 4 and all are stating that any vehicle purchased in or outside the state with 7500 miles or less must be registered as a new vehicle and meet California Smog reg’s. I stated OK, what would one have to do? Response, probably have to run cats, change the wind shield, run wiper’s etc, etc. Could/can/would any within this forum having registered in CA possibly shed some light. Thank you for your time. Regards, Skip Please feel free to call or email direct. Cell: 714.980.2538 skipr@brahmagroupinc.com [/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
