Violet Elizabeth Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Have hit a real brick wall with my highly secret Caterham BEC project (a.k.a Project Sloth). Being an awkward sod I have decided not to put a Fireblade engine in (lovely though they be) ... as I like to be diffrn't and them upstairs said my idea wuldn't work. However, Caterham Fireblade sounds soooooooooo cool. It's like Fire .... cool, and a Blade ... cool. Thats like cool squared. Like BeerPie or CarGurl. BUT my chosen engine, a Yamaha R1 .... sounds rubbish. Caterham R1 .... means I have 1 bhp per tonne ! Thats like a small shetland pony in terms of horses. People with R300's, 400's and 500's won't talk to me (not that they do anyway !) if I only have a ONE. Creative help required. What am I going to call my car ? Not that it will ever get built at this rate, but the huge pile of bits on the floor needs a name. Thank-you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caterham 1.0GL ? ps good engine choice what/where did them upstairs say it wouldn't work? moomin www.megabird.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 On the Japanese theme Caterham Sev-Yen Like Banzai. Or go for the soft cuddly one the Caterham squirrel You'll spend most of your time only catching a glimpse of the tail and it's the kind of car thet makes you hang onto your nuts (sorry about that).

Boonie Hound Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 See Noger - the Caterham Squirrel - it's growing on you.... Look into my eyes, my eyes, not around my eyes but into my eyes...and 5,4,3,2,1 you're under... When you awake you'll be more intouch with your woodland animal side. Caterham Squirrel will seem the best thing you've ever heard and in fact you'll be so impressed you'll buy Boonie an SV for being so helpful. ...and 5,4,3,2,1 you are back in the room...I mean shed...

New Barbie Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I'm only here because BlatChat is so boring of late. Brent's little spat with Arnie has been the only light refreshment available and Brent can't handle the thinner atmosphere up top. Doesn't suit me though, I feel like the head of Slitherin casting a weary eye over the latest intake to join the potions class. shrewdcookie - my Caterham site - UPDATED !

Meldrew Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 It's nice to see Count still enjoying the finer things in life: bile, spite and schadenfreude. There's just not enough of it around at the moment. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Mupferit Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 So what are you saying, Count, you want me to go back upstairs and stir things up a bit 🤔 😬 The trouble is it's all so predictable when I do and ceases to be any fun after a while. I need fresh challenges, new protagonists, new causes to fight and a reason to fight them. Come on give me reason to go up there and I will. 😬 Brent Watching the sender of a threatening e-mail sent anonymously by a coward whose identity has now been revealed.
