small question
 
hello
I have a small question, are the nose Catheram, go to our seven?

AshG 6th March 2010 05:18 PM

no they are too small. you will have to cut it and make it bigger.



you can get one from here that fits for less money than caterham.

Would need to be made wider and deeper as will any other nosecone from any other seven type car unless it's one of those daft huge Lego brick cars.......:D


And on the subject of the lego brick car it's kinda lost on me why someone would make a seven the size of a narrowboat..:confused:

because they are the size of a narrow boat without the narrow bit :D

Have you seen one though Ash?.....Jeesus!! If you see one next to say a Caterham then it's like a Mini next to bus.....waste of raw materials I say:p

Would win races though if you can make it to first corner first as so wide no bugger will get past.....:D

pradaloup 6th March 2010 06:06 PM

Haynes is a proper size car - looks much more in proportion to. Two visitors each said the same about the car today.

Handy now we've got the knack of the rotating bbq we'll soon have you fattened up, but it will all be worked off again during the week....;)

Nah Davey, another lightweight - i maybe 6'7" and a skinny bugger but weigh in at 105kg - its a wonder my car gets out the garage.

If you see this Flynercle apologies for the pissing about but we got the burgers sorted out in the end, we'll have them off to a tee next week. See pics below:

fabbyglass 6th March 2010 08:28 PM

Global warming will apparently have sea levels rising so folk over a certain weight should be used as sea defences so finally they get to do summat usefull instead of eating...they will get washed every 12 hours and have ample opportunity to catch their own food.:D







It's a joke just in case you hadn't realised:D

Davey 6th March 2010 08:59 PM

"Nah Davey, another lightweight - i maybe 6'7" and a skinny bugger but weigh in at 105kg - its a wonder my car gets out the garage."

Long time since I've been called a lightweight, in any sense of the word:D .

Liking the BBQ guys!

Fabby, while we fat b4stards are catching all we can eat you poor skinny buggers will be living off grass, if there's any left:D

AshG 6th March 2010 09:48 PM

Cool I love your honesty and ask Les, I'm always diplomatic where folk are way bigger than me. But when I'm not I'm nearest the door ready to run...:D

spud69 7th March 2010 05:40 PM

Oh Yes Andy - 4.1s with both of us in the car (180kg) and standard cold tyres on, that's mega super car performance - WELL CHUFFED.

Don't tell the misses but i've just priced some R888's (soft) at £70 each, and requested a price as a dealer - tis my birthday soon. Can certainly get it down to 3.5s was loads of room left under my right foot just not enough tyre traction to cope with it.......:eek:
