7evin Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Mummm Mum... That is going to be fast and FUN..... I would hardly be able to sleep at night.
blubarisax Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 I feel like a kid on Christmas eve! I spoke to the auto transporter yesterday, he is scheduled to pick it up at Caterham USA on Monday... maiden voyage next weekend!
Croc Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 No need for Bruce to rush back. Ben found an oil leak in the dry sump pan. I suggested super glue... I can soooo relate to this - just hanging out desparately waiting for the new toy to arrive on the driveway so you can leave tire marks all over the road! Have fun Karl! I look forward to seeing your car in person (and drooling over it) when I get back from Europe in three weeks.
blubarisax Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 I think Caterham has this figured out...the longer I wait, the more upgrade parts I am buying! Have a great trip and we will have to take the cars out when you get back! Karl
blubarisax Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 I was lucky enough to get second place in Class 24 at the Lime Rock car show with a Superlight that was so light you could not even see it! Or perhaps Ben had it at the show and did not tell me...

blubarisax Posted September 18, 2010 Author Posted September 18, 2010 Car delivery scheduled for noon tomorrow!
Kitcat Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Hopefully the weather report is favorable, enjoy. I blasted into work this a.m in my se7en, with the exhaust echoing off the houses and buildings, and the tail totally hung out on some my favorite curves, my ears are still ringing! It never gets old! Mike
lancylad Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Hey Kitcat, works even better after a light sprinkling of rain. Hanging the rear end out that is..( the cars) We have just to much fun dont we. And yes, it never gets old.
Fimi 7 Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Who makes those seats, they look pretty nice
blubarisax Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 OK, the moment we have all been waiting for...The Caterham Superlight R400 SV arrived on Sunday and I got to blast about for about 100 miles. What fun... I still have a few of the missing bits on their way from Caterham USA. Detailed photos to follow once I get them on. I was pleased that at 6' 6" and 285# I fit pretty well. Now I get to start the upgrade process! (Shhhhhh, don't tell the wife) http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac336/blubarisax/IMG00020-20100919-1257.jpg
scannon Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 That combo of orange with the black pack looks great. Congratulations on your new toy.
S1Steve Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Sweet, Nice Caterham too !!! We'll have to get the NY-NJ-PA group together for a fall Blat. Best of luck with it !!!! Nice color !!! Steve
supersportsp Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 I was pleased that at 6' 6" and 285# I fit pretty well. Now I get to start the upgrade process! (Shhhhhh, don't tell the wife) Don't tell the wife that you are 285 or that you are upgrading already? I am mighty impressed you can get yourself into that thing. I am 6'2 and about 205 and my S3 chassis is quite snug. I drove an SV and it was relatively roomy, but not 6'6"/285 roomy. Enjoy the car. Looks fun and I like the color combo.
blubarisax Posted September 22, 2010 Author Posted September 22, 2010 Croc let me try his on for size. The seats were placed all the way back and Ben at Caterham USA put in lowered floors. I'd love to get a group blat in before it gets too cold. Steve? Stuart? Mike? Boxologist? Bruce? Anyone else from NJ/NY/CT?
jturrell Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 More pics please!!!!! I recently ordered an R400, so I'll be living vicariously through you for the next 4-5 months. (hopefully not longer than that)
480rider Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 What a sweet ride! I'm orange with envy. Now, I'm sure the car would hate to sit inside for the winter. Maybe you should consider shipping it to an nice, dry western state (like mine) where it can get regular exercise until next spring! Enjoy! And, as others have asked, please bring on the pics!
blubarisax Posted October 23, 2010 Author Posted October 23, 2010 OK, Here are the photos... the car is a BLAST to drive! http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac336/blubarisax/Caterham/P1000033.jpg http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac336/blubarisax/Caterham/P1000031.jpg http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac336/blubarisax/Caterham/P1000030.jpg http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac336/blubarisax/Caterham/P1000029.jpg
