the orange Caterham when it had a big loose round copse but well held by the driver

I'm sure Stuart (SET3) will be along soon to comment on his skillful / flukey rescue

I had a great day although scared myself a few times out on track (and the drive there...) - a Caterham with cold tyres in the wet and ice requires more driving skill than I possess!

My youtube was being a pain, so I put it on one of my Instagrams! A great soundbite.

Thank you very much for the clip...The noise limit is 102db, I was hitting 106db hence getting black flagged in my third and final session.

same here - mine only gets in the photos by parking next to something nice

i did clock the chunky tyres and recaros on your sleeper focus, guessed there might be something interesting lurking under the bonnet- any more info?

I believe it has the engine out of the focus st, seen a build thread of it somewhere but can't remember where!

Think of it not so much as 'the engine from an ST', but more 'the body from an LX'. We had to swap almost everything over.

Bit of info here on it... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=154...

All those photos taken and my car only appears in two of them, just the way I planned it! This is my favourite though, taken by danllama.

Thats where you're wrong sir! I took this one

Despite knowing this was coming, deliberately looking out for it, and it having a bike on the roof I still walked past it once without spotting it!

Thanks Chris for showing me under the bonnet. It's a superb build

I didn't realise that was you Ben! We should all wear name badges with our user names on! Great to meet you.

Missed it at Ginetta, was determined not to do the same again this time!

Ok, so there were a couple more than two. Still don't know why anyone would want to take a photo of it though!

I did because I've enjoyed following the build thread, I like how sleeper it is!

It pretty much writes the book on what a sleeper should be. I genuinely want first refusal should you ever be mad enough to sell it.

Thanks for sharing some shots of the plastic frog powered Frenchie

You're welcome Love the R26R... almost bought one just like yours when they were New back in 2009 but the M3 CSL itch was too strong to ignore Here's another pic of your plastic frog

Love that shot, thank you! I bought mine new, it arrived early 2009 and it's well on its way to becoming part of the furniture. Only comes out on "special occasions"

Thanks. Your correct, it was a bit "chilly"

Not as exciting as the M5 but I guess a few of you may see yourselves on there
