I still don't know what's going on

Suffice to say - all 7s are cool, even S4s.

[S47]

Hey guys cool it, we don't want PH to get like BC.
Anyone who knows me personally - I'm sure will vouch for the fact that I'm always ready for a Joke or prank, and I'm as thick skinned as they come, Unfortunately on BC the other posters are quite willing to take the piss out of you but, if you try to retaliate they CRY & report you to the 'Management team' who immediately AND without any prior warning withdraw your posting rights, it happened to me several times It also happened to many others who I know are now on PH, Until they remove several of the BC 'M team' things on BC won't improve SO save your money subscribing to L7 club & lets make PH caterham forum exactly what BC ought to be
[Arewetheryet]If you want to take the piss out of me or my posts - Ok I can live with that,[and I have a very long memory regarding this] but can you live with me taking the piss out of your posts or you - WITHOUT crying?? Coz once I start taking the piss out of you I won't be stopping, as plenty on BC discovered.
Let me know
Mal

Welcome to the darkside on PH
Good to talk to you last night, and good to know you're not permanently in Work
Surprised nobody in the Taffia told about you back problem, maybe they all thought I'd take the P
Glad you're back up and fit again.
Hope to see you Blatting soon

Oh Krikey! I called the S4 a Beach Buggy!

[Eric Mc]

I'm glad I was complimentary.

Hell hath no fury than an S4 owner scorned.

Well, Canoe was all ready taken, and I thought bath was a bit rude............

[S47]

Here's a pic of one of the fastest & most famous racing S4's - KVX 189J
The one that forced Caterham to get the Lotus 7 S4 banned from the Lotus 7 racing series
Why? It was too fast
At 15 years old - driven and financed by a privateer it was beating all the New Caterham factory sponsored S3's in the LOTUS 7' race series - Just think how good the S4 could have been had it been developed as much as the S3 has been.

[strongy7]

........and it looks as though he has a coffee table tied to his roll over bar as well

Yep the wooden 'doofa' does look strange
Guess it's an early version of a 'rear diffuser'

Well I Really don't know what to say:-
Today at Stoneleigh Kit Car Show a very kind person left a fantastic boxed Matchbox Model S4 Lotus 7 in my favouirite colour of Orange on the drivers seat of my car :Thumbup:
Too whoever left the model thank you - thank you - thank you very much, or as we say in Wales - Ta Muchly
Then would you believe what happened next::>

My wife buys a Matchbox model of an S4 too !!!
This time in Yellow from one of the traders in the Stoneleigh halls which I'd missed.
Anybody own one in Blue and can post a picture on this thread??

See the photo's below:>

[Dieter7S4]

Mal - no doubt Eugene waxed lyrically regarding my prowess with a spanner and a socket set!! if it doesn't work - hit it!!!

Be good to meet up some time.

Mike

I was down at Redline Compnenets yesterday and they have an S4 shell in the workshop for a rebuild.

They said that the S4 is much more difficult to work on compared to the spaceframe chassis of the S3 and its derviatives.

Be it known Redline, I belive, actually own the rights to the S4 Seven.

[Eric Mc]

I didn't know that.

I don't see Mick or John re-starting production anytime soon though.
