New 7 owner

[davedlr]

Hello - my mate Tony and I will be (touch wood) picking up Iguana's car this weekend. (http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/711863.htm)

Its our first Caterham - so expect plenty of VX related questions in the coming months.

We're hoping to get it on track before too long, so come and say hello if you see us.

cheers
Dave

Welcome to 7 ownership. Some will tell you that this time of year is a bad time to buy a 7 because of the weather. Ignore them!

Just avoid salt on the roads if possible.

Welcome Dave.
I got my Seven 2 years ago yesterday, and it was a good time to buy (pricewise!); I put plenty of miles on over that winter. Weather looking good for this seekend too - excellent timing .
You're just in time for the Lotus7 club meeting at Handcross for the London to Brighton on 2nd Novmber and it'll give you the chance to meet dozens of owners and enjoy some excellent sausages. See here for details, and you don't even have to be a club member.

Me too. Picked up my R300 yesterday.

Hello fellas!

[davedlr]

Thanks for the warm welcome. We'll definitely try and make 2nd Nov - time to invest in a proper waterproof jacket just in case.

Dave and Angus,
If you come down to the London-Brighton, be sure to say hello - I'll be manning the gate to the car-park. It was a glorious day last year and we had over 130 Sevens turn up; not so good the year before, so bring your waterproofs!

Any advice on service and repair garages in Manchester?

Anyone going to Oulton Park open pit lane on 5th or 12th Nov ?

Drive safely

Both well done with your new cars.

PP, I may be at Outlton on the 12th with my brothers (in their metros). I won't be in the 7.

I'll come and say hello if I get there.

Are you local to the circuit / n/w?

[Pink_Panther]

I live near manchester - 45 mins away in good traffic.

Hope to see you there Mav

Looking forward to the 2nd - gives us a chance to check out other 7's and upgrade ideas!

Tony
