Hi all, Someone is selling 4 wheels that i'd love to buy but they are collection at Raglan services and i am in north yorkshire. I have friends in various places if anyone is travelling from there and could help. Obvs i'd pay towards your fuel. Church stretton, Wolverhampton, Sheffield, Congleton ,bury, leeds - any of those locations could suit me. I'm in the yorkshire dales
Fantastic. Cold and dark. Eyes looking through the dark bend as the lights sweep round and catxh up. I love driving in the dark. No street lihhrs just the moon. 4 dehreea half hood. Then tp finish 16 miles all the way to my drive without a mother vehicle either direction.
Winter it's worth it. .
Grrrr, brrrr. arrhhh.
Well pleased really. Whilst fitting a fog light i ended up discovering that the petrol tank was loose. So perhaps that has been the source of the banging noise at the back.
warning to anyone thinking that an ex race car might be an easy way into road car use, this is just the latest. I know , i know don't buy a race car when you want a road car and vice versa. Now i agree.
Now just got to find the wire to connect a reverse light
"How's things my end?" Asks Ian from PTsports cars -- thought i would post my reply.. Oh you know , you have probably heard it so many times before. Another evening spent on you tube watching others in their Caterhams. Just the sound is energising. I'm so looking forward to my drive home from yours [[Windsor to Settle, N Yorks ] via everywhere. Its going to be B road tastic and weather allowing i will stay at someone's house to max the enjoyment. Its just going to be so good. Its like taking a
Well after 2 big drives to get to PTsportscars, i have bought a car and am really happy and excited about it although, it would be great to sleep well again. This is not out of worry or nerves, its out of proper excitement. I mean that real childish excitment. I didn't know it was possible to still feel like that. I have been amazed by the help from members. A couple of phone calls of over an hour with owners, who previously i had not heard of never mind met. I then traveled from Settle in the D
In my continuing search for a car i have returned to the original idea and now commitment of a Caterham, for reasons earlier defined. Despite the modern day version of making a decision [hours on the interenet] the best advice was from my mate Rog on the Isle of Mann, to 'drive some and buy the one you like' . Now that is not so easy in the Yorkshire Dales in January although i appreciate that it is much harder for many others. So as the 'in laws' live near to Northwich i went to Oakmere. I actu
I went over to Cracoe the other week for my first experience of a club meet. I liked it that when i arrived some were eating and others not and was comforted that it was not going to be a stuffy or over polite doo. After we had eaten i was 'surrounded' and asked so what is it you want to know? After car chat for a good hour or more i know that i should get the upgraded brakes and that 130 bhp should be a minimum. I forgot to ask about wheel size. It also became apparent that unlike my 2 friends
Oh in my goal of getting my 'first' car, that is its not a van for sleeping in, carrying diy stuff or a cheap £300 effort, i seem to have come across Morgans. Well singular really only the 4/4 stacks up for mpg and in particular price. Hopefully it seems like the experience of ownership will be so different that all i have to do is drive them both. fingers x'ed its that easy
I first got in a 7 in about 1994, my mate still has the same car. My first drive was, of course, the same day. Over the next few years i would enjoy the occasional visit and ride, oh how i wanted one, but you can't go kayaking, mtb ing, climbing in one, and i didn't have a garage and of course i didn't have any money. Yes of course that was the main reason. In about 2000 another mate bought one and we would go climbing in it. How i love watching the front wheels bounce up and down. How i can't i
