For the love of curves
Visited the traditional season opening @Pängel Anton in Ennigerloh with the Caterham. A nicely organized meeting mainly targeting on Lotus and other British cars taking place around an ex railway station now serving as a roadhouse, hence the slightly obscure name Pängel Anton meaning something like choo choo train in Low-German.
I took the Seven for a spin with my dad for the first time. A slightly sentimental moment for me since he influenced the petrol-head in me for a large amount…
Took Catie home from “the other garage” and cruised a bit.
The Mixxer enjoyed a thorough washing after weeks with salt and dirt on the roads.
Finally spring arrived to enjoy some nice roads top-down 🙂
Test drove Catie with new wheels, tyres and new mirrors. I also reset the ECU learn-values via OBD and re-learned the idle.
Added some black stickers to the sides to remind of the Seven’s origin, the Black-Jack:
I replaced the three-legged Talbot retro-style mirrors with the standard black Caterham mirrors on the “SVA”-mounts – suit the car much better in my humble opinion:
I lifted my Caterham for the first time today and pondered on it for a while. This is what I came up with…
I mounted the 14″ Minator wheels with Uniroyal Rain Expert 3 185/60 tyres as “winter tyres” and also refitted the original EU4/5 front silencer…
The three legged side mirrors have to go…
