I like how the car lost weight and gained power as the story went on, as though the story were being told in a pub. :) :cheers:

 

Good story, and great photos!

Congrats on the newest fame. Car looks great in every single photo which goes to show your talent as a photographer. Can't say the same about the writer(s) for the magazine. They really need to use spell check!

Yeah, I think they pulled the new R400 specs from Caterham or something for the sheet at the end http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/533.gif

 

They were supposed to write the article and take the photos but the car sort of broke down during the session and we got nothing done, so I ended up supplying the photos I had already taken and modified a story I had previously written.

 

It's a new magazine that this young couple recently started, I had met them at one of the motor press events and they asked me if they could feature the car.

Thanks. Two of the shots I didn't take. The one under the trees and the one where I am driving

:confused: I did use spell check on the story? What was misspelled?

Well we drove out to a back road to do some driving shots when suddenly the car started sputtering and then stalled. When I tried to restart, the relatively new (and expensive) fuel pump was sounding like it was straining and the car wouldn't run. I was hoping it was a clogged fuel filter and not the pump but there was no way for me to get to it on the side of the road, so went to call for a tow, except no cell service. We had to jump in the other car and drive a few miles to find service.

With Tow Truck supposedly on its way, we went back to the car to wait...

After nearly three hours of waiting decided to see if I could get the car at running enough to get it to where I can get cell service. Car started right up and ran like nothing had happened. I was able to drive it home and cancel the tow. Still not sure what it was, the only thought is that it may have been vapor lock (it was around 100 degrees), but I've never had that happen before even in hot weather http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/533.gif

I hate problems like that. not very confidence inspiring for your next long drive.
