Is it all still up and running?

I only ask as it popped up on my feed the other day, so I joined.

I made one post with a pic of my Caterham and my Ferrari as I'd been taking some garage pics and thought it looked a nice contrast pic.

I then found it got removed and I can't post or see the group so I think maybe I've been blocked or removed from the group.

I guess that's the admins prerogative, but I am a genuine owner and Seven enthusiast, I've had a Westfield then 2 Caterhams. Currently my R400 I built in 2003 new.

Yes I enjoy other cars, but they come and go, I've not been without a Seven in my garage for over 25 years.

I'm not sure quite what if anything I did wrong, and I don't like the thought of folks thinking bad of me, so any light you can shed from within group would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Apparently owning a westfield is a cardinal sin for which there is no forgiveness . . .

I was 19, I'd been saving for a Seven since before I could drive and there was no way I could afford a Caterham...all true!

Bertie was your Ferrari a white 458 Spyder? If it was then it has gone. Seems a bit harsh not to get a warning first of all. There are other posts on there that are non 7 related. A 21 (although that does use a 7 chassis so I guess that would pass muster),an article on the Zenos and worst of all the ghastly F1 car that definitely has nothing to do with a 7.

Yes, that was me.

If the pic was a problem, tell me and I'll delete it, or even just take the pic down, but I'm not sure what I did that got be chucked out.

Don't know who the admin was, heard nothing, just got blocked.

Christian Palmer I think started it but don't know anymore than that. Perhaps he's on here in some form.

I am on FB, own a CSR, I posted the F1. 21 material as it was an interesting read for those who may be interested in the Brand.

I don't think I'll be checking out the FB page if that's how they treat people!

Well if anyone can find out what went on Id appreciate it.

As I say, I'm a Caterham enthusiast of 25 years plus, club member and I don't like the thought that folks might thing bad of me.

Bertie, I saw the pics you put up too and thought they were great, seems really odd they got taken down especially without warning. Lovely collection of cars and I like the garage too biggrin

That was me back in 1990 biggrin
The Westfield I owned was great, but I had to own a Caterham at some stage in my life.

Hi Bertie, I saw your pics and posted saying they were nice, and I can no longer see the post either, and have no idea what caused it to get removed. I also saw your follow up asking for an explanation, and by the time I'd hunted around looking for your original post, could no longer find your second post asking for a reason about what you'd done wrong (if anything).

I'm at a loss as to why it was pulled, certainly didn't post anything controversial as far as I'm concerned.

As for the Ferrari in the pic, it was barely noticeable compared to the lovely lary orange R400 smile I also didn't realise you were so close, I'm up in Crich, if I see any of your lovely cars, I'll give you a wave smile

I've asked out of curiosity what happened...

The post asking where your post had gone has also now been deleted... Was half tempted to ask where that went as well!
