...here in West Sussex, that I got the 7 out to take my daughter to school, then popped to get some fuel, then off to the barbers and finally nipped to the chemist. Back home now just pondering going on for another, more involving drive biggrin

So, you took your daughter to school, went the long way round home, ran out of fuel, needed a haircut as your barnet had been blown all over the place and you've got a headache from your loud exhaust?

'bout right?

BTW, it's Friday shouldn't you be working...like me...in a stuffy office...without a Caterham to drive. Harrumph...

Nearly. wink

Bought fuel so I wouldn't run out when I went out for a drive, hair needing cutting as we're off on holiday next week, went to the chemist to pick up a couple of prescriptions and I do shift work, so not back in until Sunday biggrin

Yes I was thinking how perfect the weather was today. It's even warm enough for me to try my Aeroscreen...apart from the fact my Caterham is at Premier Power having a few bits done to it.....doh!

One word of advice though. Don't go to the barbers whilst wearing a new pair of pale suede puma speedcats, I seem to have more hair on them than on my head! biggrin

I did the same yesterday, and took my R500 out to do the usual run to the bank.

A lovely day for it, very warm which meant in my car the water temp soon gets to 105 degrees and the cooling fan seems to be on all the time!

As I was parked outside the bank, enjoying a drink, a nice lady and her son came over to chat and ask about my car.

She thought it looked fantastic, but like most none Caterham people she thought it was an " Old Vintage Sports Car" of about 20 years old!

When I told her it was only just coming up to three years old she was amazed!

Still great day for a run, and today looks the same, so might take Tom our for another run in the sun!

Enjoy the sun whilst it lasts guys!

Did a trip to tesco with my daughter in tow and offered her a choice of car, Puma or 7, fortunately she chose the 7smile managed to fit two carrier bags and a box of weetabix in the boot;) then had to pop back to the chemist to pick up the rest of a prescription smile
