Took the 7 out for some exercise today

[yellowss7]

Met a buddy for lunch today and decided to take the Caterham even though it was a little overcast. Took the Hoosier slicks off and put the new R888's on. Haven't had it out since the Track day at Log29. (Pathetic, I know) The R888's seem ok but they are definately alot heavier than the AVON CR500s.

 

Started right up, and had a chance to run it up thru all 6 gears on the way to lunch. Heck, I even forgot to put in my earplugs. It just sounds so good. Car attracted alot of attention as usual. After a nice leisurely 2 hour lunch, I notice a few rain drops starting to fall.

 

As I never ordered the weather gear it was time to sprint home. Luckily, it didn't pour and I made all the lights, and it stopped as I got within a couple of miles of home.

 

The Car is begging to go back out on the Track. I think I got the bug BAD.:driving: I think I'll go and edit the little bit of usable video I took at Barber and upload it later tonight.

I too haven't driven my car since LOG .. I just mastered the art of syncronizing and tuning dual carburetors! So I got my car out of the barn and ran it over to the mega ACE hardware store .. I always park it right in front of the entrance. Fun watching all the attention it gets from all the patrons and the employees who gotta get a good look!

 

Then disturbed a few quiet peaceful neighborhoods as I drove on some shady backstreet twisties ... Gotta love the sound of dual carbs!

 

Next over to my community pool for a quick swim .. Some kids asked to get some pics!

 

Ended up at the assisted living place where my inlaws live! Got my 87 yo mother-in-law in the passenger side and took her for a quick run .. she was holding her hearing-aids in her ears the whole time!

 

Great day in hotlanta!
