Say Hello to Scarlet, my new Caterham 620R

[nigelpugh7]

For Local servicing in my midlands location I have used McMillan racing over in Hinckley.

Great guys, and superb for race setups on their flat floor table too.

Ah haha!

It’ was supposed to be tongue in cheek!

It’s actually just sticky backed carbon sheet bought from amazon!

I had previously put black insulating tape on the leading edge of the aero wish bones, as they are prone to chipping.

So just thought this would be a good way to protect them instead!

I’m not sure if I ever posted these great shots form my friend the Pro Photographer GF Williams.

We had a track day at a Curborough so we used his magnificent Hasleblad camera to capture these shots.

[nigelpugh7]

More great GFW shots.

Looks amazing - do you know what the options are to install full cage? I see it is becoming mandatory for LOT @ Spa etc

Your welcome Andy.

Remember the posts so far only cover most of our adventures in 2017.

2018 and 2019 adventures amount to about 2000-3000 pictures still left to post here!

It may take some time!

I also agree, I'm a major lurker but please don't stop posting.

I'm a fellow kit car man, except mine is a tad older - mk indy running a lovely old pinto engine. Great fun so I'm sure yours is even more so!

[Monsterlime]

Love the car. Readers' Cars is one of my favourite parts of PH so please don't stop posting.

The wife hates it as she thinks I am looking at something else to buy!

Another silent follower here. Keep up the great updates.

As a fellow bonkers-British-lightweight-310bhp-supercharged-four-cylinder-car (but not a Caterham) owner, please do keep the updates coming. It's shame you can't see how many views a post gets as I'm sure a lot of folks on here like reading posts, and appreciate them, but don't necessarily feel the need to comment.

Another previously silent lurker here. Loving the updates - please keep them coming. A 420R is my personal semi-realistic dream car. I would be interested to see if this cumulative weight saving is adding up, do you have plans to get it on the scales?

Ahhh, I wondered if that was the case.

Yesterday was #takescarlettoworkday

Ok it wasn’t I made that up.

But for some reason I can’t post the pictures at my office, upload issues.

We did pop out at lunchtime to see the ladies from the breast cancer charity we have been supporting though.

Amazing how small Scarlet looks parked next to a huge Fiesta!

[nigelpugh7]

So trying to go back and fill in the missing pictures.

These were from our day our to Shelsley Walsh for the hillclimb school day.
