Verily this Wednesday, the blackest tin of pilchardiliant fizz-bangery will deposit it's rampant disposition unto the enclave of derestrictive commitment with a rip snorting promise of ritual tarmac shredding.

I am beside myself under sufferance of involuntary phenomena, predominantly secretional.



Oh yes, I nearly forgot:

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!

Jezza, being delivered; Bill - positively dribbling! In fact, not since the old Cerby was born have I been so unstable.

And Jesmondo, it's your fault entirely.

Btw, any sign of the nouveau GT thingy, whatever it may be?

Glad to be of assistance. Now, get yourself booked into Brands Hatch on the 29th to find our what it can really do.

Good luck DeR.

And remember, a Caterham isn't just for summer.

Top hoonery awaits - driving a 7 in winter is great. Lovely fresh air, rosy cheeks and a hearty disposition after a bit of tail out fun.

Pictures when it arrives please.

Thanks, Murph, Mungo-san.

Yes, it does look as if the boy Jehovah has decided winter & all it's foulest works should make an even earlier entry this year than normal.

I can even see the purchase of a Metcalfe-spec 'benny cap' (I believe this is the correct description) for bonce-related thermal reasons being on the agenda, even if it may read 'Tommy' or some such thing down the side.

Hell's teeth, it'll be surf boards next, dear oh dear.

If you only have an aeroscreen a helmet would be wise Get one with wings and a decent visor for the full "raving loon" look (I found that the chin spoiler actually works well).

As for the benny cap, surely a No Fear item would be more in keeping with the wheels...

Do they come run in, or will you have to suffer that torture? (the car, not the benny hats).

Oh-my-God: I've just ordered one.

Does Ted do signet rings and other golden wear too?

Guns don't kill people, benny caps do.

Just had the factory on the blower: it's on the back of a ve-hicule this minute, should be here about 2 PM so I should have lost my licence by tea time.

My wife's already christened the thing 'Chitty' - I doubt too many of the local heathens will comprende either.

Paul - I haven't even driven it yet! Frankly, it's like Noah's 2nd Coming oop hyur at ze mo, ergo my blouse is strictly of copious, feminine proportions.

Might nip up for the curry in it on the morrow's neet, E.Fresco stylee, assuming Ted's head warmer turns up.

Failing that, I shall be guaranteeing divorce proceedings this Friday and/or Sunday (car's currently catalysed so shouldn't upset too many of the [human]yokels).

Does look mega in black though.

Don't tell me you've ordered red and yellow wings on the thing.

DeR ..sorry I forgot how close you are to the artic circle, especially as the car came from the southern softie end of the country, where there was but a hint of drizzle this afternoon.

I bet it looks great and really menacing in black..did you keep the wings and nose in bare carbon after all?
