Take a sec to introduce yourself (if you haven't already) over at the "Tell us a little about yourself" section...and no worries, we like long stories when they have to do with Se7ens!

athens7 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I've heard Walrus' story; it makes my engine saga seem like a weekend's work. I wonder if there are any other 'new' 2005 Caterhams out there? Here's to many miles of happy blatting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderbrake Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Welcome to the USA7s Walrus. I love your car. The classic BRG with the yellow nose, and it's an SV. Perfect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 wheels look familiar. where did the car start its life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost7018 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Wow! Yours looks exactly like mine(although I have cycle fenders). Looks great. What part of the country are you? Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I wonder if there are any other 'new' 2005 Caterhams out there? Here's to many miles of happy blatting! My SV left the factory 12/03 (title says it is an '04), spent a few years with the dealer who assembled it to a rolling chassis. I bought it 11/05 and got it on the road 7/07.

Kitcat Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Lovely-the color scheme is classic 7. If you look at the group photo at the Dragon event last 7/707, that was a very popular color combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walrus Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Al: I'm a fromer Jersey boy myself, (Exit 142). That probably explains my avatar and, as we used to say at Grunnings, "dat's all ya need ta know". Southwind25/Powderbrake/Kitcat: Thank you. ALthough it may be a bit too traditional, at least its Jaguar green rather than the factory BRG which to me seemed too pale. Athens 7: It continues, but what else is new? Boxologist: It started with me from the get go, so I don't think you ever dated her even if her gams look familiar. (Did I just date myself?) Locost7018: I'm in the frigid north, (NH and MA). Sean: "Almost" is a unitary oxymoron regarding the Caterham. I beleive the "Caterham Curve" is the purest example of an asymptotic function that exists.

Sean Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Due to Caterhams never truly being "finished", I was careful to avoid that word, and instead use the phrase "on the road". Good point, though. Never has the word "asymptotic" been more aptly applied. Oh yeah... nice car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Welcome Walrus. Beautiful car you have there! Hope to see you at some of the local events. Bruce :7drive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
