sjmmarsh Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Chris Did you run out of upgrades to add to the car? Or did you just find you weren't using it enough? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris W Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hi Zak Thanks for your wishes. I'm buying a boat instead. I've already taken over that forum on the electrics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LazerBrain Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 and I thought electricity and water didn't mix. 😬 I'm sorry to hear that you're moving on, but wish you all the best with the numerous gadgets that are bound to be added to your boat. Out of interest, did your 7 sell complete with the gadgets? (Noticing that people had mentioned it would make it trickier to sell.) cheers, Darren.

Chris W Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yes, the (completely non-technical) guy who bought it was sceptical at first about all the gadgets but soon realised how useful they are. I offered to restore the car to au naturel but he decided he wanted to keep the gadgets in the end. He used to own a Caterham about 20 years ago (for 3 years). This one will become his main car and he expects to put on 40,000 over the next 2 years (it only has 7K at the moment). Poor thing!! He went for it because of low mileage, SV and one owner primarily. Saw it on Pistonheads. Chris 2003 1.8K SV 140hp see it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
