Say Hello to Scarlet, my new Caterham 620R
Discussion
Just realised I totally let the team down on here re posts!
We had a mega busy year in 2018, so many track days and so many miles and places visited too.
Sadly it also coincided with the change of ownership of pistonheads, and sadly it now seems to have completely died under the new owners.
So sorry for no updates here, so very few people ever comment any more, which is a shame,it’s a shadow of its former self.

Just reading this thread with interest Nigel. Its a good reference to see how you are getting on with your 620R.
I'm loving my 620S...……………………………... in the last 500 miles I've bent the rear exit exhaust (the link pipe is far to low) and replaced it with a side exit, blown a lambda sensor and today a centre cap fell out of the wheel for no reason while driving at 60mph! Normal Caterham ownership then!
How are you getting on with yours now? You've this one a long time.
Would you recommend Avon ZZR or ZZS for 90% road use 10% track use and 0% wet use?

Sorry guys, I’ve just stopped visiting Ph now, the responses are so few and far between.
All my updates are now on all the usual social media sources.
That's a shame - this was a thoroughly enjoyable read. All my updates are now on all the usual social media sources.

Looking at my album for 2018 and 2019 there are 3750 Scarlet related photos! This may take some time!

That’s why I thought I would add some more, just for you of course bud!
Thanks, there is myself and peanut! 
Do you find the ZZR's significantly superior to ZZS? Worth the compromise for wet days though?
Also, do want2race at donnington (old book a track) do servicing still, do you know?

For dry track days you just can’t beat the ZZR’s, but you need to get some heat into them for maximum stickiness!
For most Road use, even when dry we have the ZZs wheels and tyre set on, they are so much safer on the road if it rains, which it seems to do a lot when we set off to track days at Anglesey.
Not sure about Bookatrack still doing Caterham servicing, I’m sure they do, but a lot of the existing staff left when they lost the Caterham dealership and became a Ginetta racing outfit.
