Where is ben in CD? I cant see him?

[cuzza]

He's in the passenger seat of an Elise on a tyre wall in the Euro trackday article (according to another PHer who was looking through it at my place last weekend, anyway)

[incorrigible]

That was my first track day

IIRC the quote was "One more lap, more commitment."

Hi mafioso,

It's my car. This little video was taken by october of 2006 when I bought the car. At this time, it had a problem in gear box. The 1-2 and 3-4 synchos was broken and the 5th gear of the Quaife straight cut gearbox of my JPE was very used. Is it why the downsift from 5 to 4 needed to be done very slow and with an excessive use of the clutch (please excuse my poor french, I'm a frenchie). Now, I had this gearbox repared and it's correct now.

Just have a look at this new video (76 Mo, 22 min) :

And please, keep cool because during this video, the gear-box was in grinding.

If you want to learn more about this car, you can bring a good beer and then have a look at http://caterham.jpe.free.fr

Hope you are now in peace, mafioso.

Brilliant! I take back everything I said! Haven't watched the video yet so hope the car's ok now! Happy motoring!!
