scottishtaffy Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 good thing is you can see ahead for ages so you get plenty of warning to slow down from 60 ........ its like when we come up behind someone they often pull over to let us all pass them. its just an epic weekend. some fast driving but all in a controlled manner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pommy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I do love a caterham, always planned to buy one when I could, hopefully in a year or two. Something for rwd fun. And complete opposite character to the Scooby. Looks like a fun weekend, will have to convince the gf that it would make a nice weekend away up there, unfortunately she likes the warmth...

Gaulson Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Me and my brother have been keeping our eye open for an "unfinished" one on eBay for months now, in the hope one will show up for good money and we can build it :) . So Scottishtaffy, where abouts is that road you drove? Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyDave Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Looks like a great weekend [emoji41] I'd love a caterham, but I'd have to build it myself. A mate bought one part built, it cost him about £7k and it looked a bargain, but once he started working on it he found loads of stuff wrong. Chassis was out of square, insufficient welding, loads really. And because he hadn't built he wasn't certain if all those little nuts and bolts were tight, and wasn't certain what donor vehicle some parts were from. He spent a lot trying to sort it, but I think he ended up getting rid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishtaffy Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Its the road to applecross in the Scooby. Think its the highest road in Britain. The one in the caterham was at lairg all west coast Scotland . As for the weather we had outside dinners both days. And t shirts both days. Up around 15℃ which up here is tropical but not hot enough for the chinnock midges lol Sent from my HTC Desire 300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlag Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 That road to Applecross is brilliant. We did it a couple of years ago with about 15 Legacies. Brilliant day but glad we didn't meet too much oncoming traffic. :) This clip was part of our day too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottishtaffy Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I take mine with me. She not a car nut like us but she loves it. The banter . The roads. Plus she handy for camera duties and some fun at night too.....:-P Sent from my HTC Desire 300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think my missus secretly likes them but won't admit to it, I'd say she would enjoy it if she did come along maybe just the thought of it would put her off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4758nigel Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 my Mrs is such a nervous passenger she wouldn't want to go either tho :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
