Returning member- Caterham Blackbird

Hi Chaps,

If not quite back from the dead I have returned on here after a gap of around 7 years or something. You know how it is..kids, career , landrovers!! and life generally got in the way but my Caterham sat patiently waiting for my interest and time to return. So I'm back in the land of all things Caterham ..has much changed?

My car is an ex Jordan F1 promotional Honda Blackbird 1100 form year 2000.

I'm decided to give it a new lease of life as the old paintwork has seen better days after a fair few trackdays a few years back. 

So expect a few questions on the way. 

Anyway nice to be back and hopefully I'll see some of you old laggards soon. I've forgotten how to put photos up but i guess I'll work it out soon enough. 

I'm based in Loughborough , Leics and i'm an arable farmer and contract farmer so if any of you have any agricultural questions I may be able to help if Harry's Farm hasn't covered it!

CheersByebye

Welcome back.

Would you like any technical documentation?

"I've forgotten how to put photos up but i guess I'll work it out soon enough."

There are now three methods. Please say if you need any help.

Neil,

Welcome back - I'm now the AR for Leicester, Notts and Derby - still meeting at Hathern. One of our regulars and Mid Staffs AR Rog Needham has a Blackbird track car and not a million miles away from you.

I remember you telling the story about tracing a drive line noise having the car suspended on the telehandler :-0

Regards

Ian

The Upload button is last but one on the bar of icons. 

If the picture is on the web, use the little landscape icon. Make sure you link to an image not a page.

Ex Blackbird owner. Think I remember meeting you and Will with your Blackbirds at Cadwell many moons ago. Mine was the orange one, now up in Yorkshire somewhere.

Welcome back to the club, sir.  Wow, that livery takes me back!  Legit F1 apparel has always been largely unavailable where I live, but long ago I found and bought a yellow/black official Jordan hooded pull-over with the hornet logo.  Still have it, but it is so in-your-face bright, I never wore it much.

Best of luck with the rebuild/refurb. Thumbup
