Simon Orr Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Bumped into Rob 'Spuddy Supersport' in his yellow with twin black stripes 7 fueling up at Broadway Motors BP Garage in Wantage this morning on a Blat from Bracknell. I then drove down to Hampshire and just before I arrived at my destination in Whiteley spotted a Black 7 with twin red sripes GP10'C'(?)KA heading north through Burridge on the Botley road at about 13:25. A good day for it, shame I didn't have mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuddy Supersport Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Simon Good to meet a fellow owner, its John not Rob. Got back home after a short 4.5 hour blat. When do you expect to have yours back from the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuddy Supersport Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 does winterisation apply when the suns out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Orr Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 Apologies John, that's a good bit of road time, as you say when the sun's out... I don't yet know when I'll get mine back as we have yet to set a timetable but almost certainly not until the New Year. I'll let you know and maybe meet up for a Blat. I've only just moved to Wantage so there is plenty to explore around here. I can recommend a Blat over the B4494 if you haven't done so already, I notice you headed out on the Hungerford road, not done that one yet. Looking to do the Taffia run in 2024, my first was this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Orr Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 Hi Dave, I'm well thank you. Settled in to the new place, I even have a proper stable for the Caterham now. 🙂 I wasn't out in mine when I met John so my state of mind was very much with heated seats and being fully enclosed in the Beemer. Unlike you I don't have heated seats in the Caterham so will have to dress accordingly not unlike John but that's half the fun for me. I've clocked up 4,500 miles in this my first year of ownership, what's your mileage looking like? I don't envisage the enthusiasm waning once the upgrade has been done. Was at Brands on 17 Nov with PT Sportscars, Brands is now my favourite track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuddy Supersport Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Simon I normally go around Wantage and then on to the Lamborn area. As you said without a heater its layers of clothing. Im up for a blat when you fancy. The B4494 from Donnington is the route i took to get to the petrol station. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
