What is that colour that most people think is hideous?

Worse than this?

My alternative paint scheme was to airbrush a huge cock down the bonnet and fit hairy rear wheel arches for the boocks. I didn't go ahead though as I couldn't decide which of the CHH (Chiswick's Hampshire Henchmen) movement members to name it after. There are so many to whom such a tribute would be fitting.... Have to say 'Lowe Rider' was right up there though.....

Brent, You don't get to me. You're just an exceptional example of your type, thats all. Jealousy is at the core of your personality. Along with ignorance.

I haven't forgotten R1CED either, he was also an exceptional example of his type, but for different reasons.

Anyway, Fergus, thanks for your comments, obviously a sign of your good judgement.

Noger, I had completely forgotten about Brent's 'expert status' in the world of medicine.

And BC MD, for your education, (although you will likely protest you already know everything), I chose to resign from the Lotus Seven Club. I could spend a lot of precious time explaining the rational behind this, but frankly its pointless. The facts are however, that under the present Chairmanship, I won't be rejoining whihc is very ironic when you consider he was the very person who experienced the condition to which I raised so much money.

Still at lesast I know you'll want to be my mate again when there is something in it for you. Just like you were with the cheap carbon fibre.

Casbar, you've got it spot on. There are many people on BC who are lead by the hearsay of Mr C etc al. Its a matter of intelligence, which is why an unselect few have even popped their heads up from the shallaow end of the gene pool, to join in here. Seems the links from Blatchat to here emerge from the same waters.

DSL2, they are only ever adjusted in order to please the cynics.

I understand that Brent was threatened with having his lights punched out for reasons totally unconnected.

Noger, I pissed pikey yob from lifes undercast who was not a club member bent my sungalsses if that is what you mean. The incident was witnessed by nobody, so everything reported is hearsay put about by those with wreckless imagination. Nobody ever saw stars or fell over. Many would like to think it was something rather more serious.

According to some, the airbox is rubbish and signifcantly reduces engine performance. These same people have never been in a car fitted with one.

It needs to be able to suck in cool air. The Reverie one only does this with the OEM Caterham induction kit which fits under the nose, however people have had problems with engines lunching due to materials picked up close to the road surface.

Also the conical filter, bends in induction piping and general cross sectional area of the induction path mean I think you would loose much power in road use. I think Caterham were once quoted it knocked 10bhp off an R500.

On the road, my ugly one works very well, but I did need a long session with a wide band lamda to check all was OK. It leans the engie out quite a bit, which is a sign that it does work. On the rolling road however, due to lack of fast moving air, it restricts power considerably. You have to set it up and revise lighting so the headlamp does not block the port.
