Trips and Excursions in my Caterham 7
While I add a lot of miles just driving round in circles
near my home when the opportunity arises, it is also good to go on blats where
you go further afield especially if it means meeting other 7 drivers.
Le Mans 2004
While I am a keen F1 fan, I had not made it
to Le Mans before I got a 7. The opportunity came up in 2004 when I was in
between jobs so, with my wife's permission, off I went with the Lotus 7 club.
I had a great time - if you get a chance, go.
Here are some of the pics I took to give you
a flavour.
K2RUM - Ex Fat Arnie's car (Chief Organiser)
Spending time by the track
Kev decided to treat the crowd to a burnout.....
.... but failed to spot the Gendarmes on bikes behind him! "Are you stupeed?"
Me on the track at Indianapolis
Access to the pits is good - you get this close to the action
BOTH TVRs finished Le Mans
And finally, I managed to get on the track after the group
photo. I am the last car on the right - honest!
Big Blat 2004
I also went on the Big Blat organised by the Norfolk (Carrotlanders)
Area. My daughter came with me as the Navigator and we had a great time along
the roads of (and around) Norfolk.

A 7 train waiting for the train..
Get that flies-in-the-mouth feeling!
Journey's end - time to turn around!

Le Mans 2005
I got the opportunity to go again to Le Mans
in 2005. The start of the week was wet, but the rest of the time it was HOT!
Chris does a bit of plucking...
This nearly ran me down in the paddock
Back home - only 10,000 dead flies to clean off.....
