If you can wait Amazon Leo is coming "soon" which is their version of Starlink, hopefully it'll start a price war

Thought so

My Caterham is Grigio Titanio too, have you found a decent touch up paint match or don’t you let such details bother you?

Finally! The relief must be off the scale

Have you been in the flat yet?

I'll send you a link to my OF

My old track day helmet was that old that the interior lining turned to dust, it was a Jean Alesi replica that I bought second hand so that gives you an idea as to its vintage

I've been casually looking for a new helmet as a friend does occasional track days but since I bought the Caterham I've ...

I thought cats paid humans in mouse, or half a shrew. Perhaps that was just ours

I have a small lump on my head

Something* fell from a tree as I was driving under it and hit me right on the top of my head causing a surprised yelp from me and hysterical laughter from my wife :evil:

*Shocked state rendered tree identification impossible so could have been anything from an acorn ...

Caterham K-series owners must be positively chilling in this weather compared to drivers of the Ford Sigma and Duratec variants. The exhaust, cat and manifold located on the driver's side make them a bit toasty in the footwell/leg area

Congrats

One of the few positives of getting older is less expensive car insurance, I've recently insured the Caterham for £237 fully comp. The Volvo V60 insurance is due in a couple of months and as I couldn't remeber what I paid for this years cover I had a look through my old emails, £237. Spooky

I did it a few years ago. Did one short trial the first week and then on the Friday was told I wouldn't be needed the following week so I could return to work which of course I did and certainly didn't take the week off as a bonus holiday

What are you dressing up as?

Dunno, any suggestions?

I've seen a few cycling races from the side of the road too - like you I know it's pointless but it's good to have been there when you watch the highlights later on. Never been to a track or velodrome.

Mind you, I did say after attending the British GP at Silverstone that it was pointless being ...

It was well worth the outlay for the original owner then

I'm considering putting my own plate on that means absolutely nothing

Small bump, I've finally got around to getting the reolink cams. One doorbell cam to replace the Ring (which has been pretty feckless lately) and an indoor camera to point at the car from the office window.

Decent image quality, some mildly esoteric setup and I expect I'll have to tweek the ...

First upgrade completed. It's mainly for the DRLs to make the car more visible to dozy drivers who tend to look over low cars and not see them. I had someone pull out on me in my bright red mk1 mr2 and claimed they never saw me :roll: I was so close to him that I had no chance of stopping
