Leaving the Caterham forum

[davidball]

I have sold my Caterham and I am sad to see it go. During the seven years I owned it members of this forum have been very helpful. Thank you all for the information and entertainment you have given me.

Why?

[davidball]

Getting too old and arthritic to get in and out of it.

Same here I sold mine a few weeks ago too , after 11 years seems strange opening garage door and there not being a 7 of some description there, I previously sold up 5 years ago and over 5 months I tried a couple of Porsches and an Elise SC but struggled to get excited over them, myself and swmbo were out for a walk one night and I heard the familiar bark of a set of 45"s wide open , turned round and was a Caterham out for a blat and that was me off again, went out and bought a CSR260 the following weekend although im still peeping through 7 forums and getting updates from Fb pages this time I don"t think I will be returning.

but who knows eh....

There is a Caterham owner here in the U.S. who has adapted his SV with:
1) A mount for his oxygen cylinder
2) His home-made "butt-extractor", which is a light-duty winch in the boot w/ cables going through pulleys attached to the roll-over bar and a sling in the seat, so that he can get his arthritic butt out of the seat.

Where there's a will, there's a way.
