I finally got home on Wednesday and we had some sunshine for a couple of days. Managed to get the mileage up to a little over 700 now.

Headed up north today and got caught in a downpour, the car felt fine and really not as bad as I had thought it would be. No problem at all at cruising speeds and fairly minimal water ingress when moving.

Loving it so far!

Far better with the aero!

I am still waiting on the registration number to come through, hopefully soon

Great yours is on the road, almost exactly the same time too, spooky premonition all that months ago!

I am planning a trip down to Bruntingthorpe this year for a Don Palmer course so will try and time it so there is a 7 meet on also got Knockhill in July for a tuition session as well as Alford festival of speed and a couple of runs round the NC500 planned.

Totally smitten now with the car, the power is exhilarating, sensory overload the first time out in it but settled a bit today and got in to the drive more.

I just want to keep driving just now!!

 I managed to get a set of trade plates for a test drive, 100 miles or so!

What a beast it is and a joy to drive

Passed it's IVA, on route north on Thursday!

The car is ready but a slight hiccup meant it's not getting its IVA until Wednesday 18th. Hoping it's a quick turnaround from the DVLA!

Spoke to Jordan at Caterham today and delivery is scheduled for the 26th May but still to be confirmed

Three weeks to wait and it can't come soon enough! 

Ordered some protective film today from Dave at PPG, will get that fitted whilst I am waiting on the DVLA registration to get sorted.

10 days to the IVA, fingers and toes are crossed that there are no issues! 

Just figured out how to add the pictures as promised earlier, hopefully I will get a couple more from Caterham this week 

Insurance sorted so its just a waiting game now! 

I have been speaking to other owners that have some runs up to my neck of the woods this year the first being at the end of May, looking forward to that and should be a good introduction to Seven life if the car comes on time!

IVA has been booked for the 12th May so time to sort out insurance

I spoke with Caterham today and as long as the car passes it's IVA it can be delivered, I won't be allowed to use it though until the registration process has been completed and the actual number plate entered on to the MID database. All I will be able to do is look at it!

It will be rubbish having a car like that sitting in the garage and not legally allowed to put any miles on 

Fingers crossed that everything goes OK and it gets through the DVLA process before my next work trip starts if not it will be a further 4 weeks before it gets used.

Yep not long now at all. Was promised pictures of it this week so will post them up when they come.
