Wile7 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 A really pretty white caterham 1700 supersprint on an English plate with a rather dapper looking chap driving. Seen outside a bloody large plate glass window in the highstreet..... ...oops 😳. It was me. Doh 😬 Wile aka Dave Ardley.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted January 11, 2006 Area Representative Share Posted January 11, 2006 Thank you and goodnight. BTW Dave, when you taught Angus Design and Technology, was it at Taunton School? I ask because I went there too - but well before Angus did. In fact I left before Design and Technology was even a subject! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I also saw a Burgundy with a silver stripe Caterham, R979NDP not far from there, in Ausonne, Toulouse...  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile7 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 GJT - sorry, playing catch up!! Yes it was at Taunton School. You were probably taught by folk like Roger Priest (worked with him recently on an inspection), Dave Hazel (Math), John (JAC!) Carrington possibly? I loved it there. Lived in Foxcombe and Wills East. Still stay in touch with colleagues who have stayed on. It was my first teaching post. Fond memories  Cagey - I know Aussone quite well? When was that? And when were you there/over sir? aka Dave Ardley.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted January 20, 2006 Area Representative Share Posted January 20, 2006 Dave: all of those: but most of my Maths teaching was from Eric Wright who was also my house master at Marshall and quite influential (he died far too early). Was Bill Stock still teaching Physics when you arrived? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterhamnut Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I was in Marshall JAC was Housemaster by then. www.mycaterham.com here 88,500 miles -1st 1.6k Supersport, '95 Motor Show car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile7 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 Bill had left GJT. John Fischer and Trevor Hill were the main Physics folk (plus David Beardman but he was a newbie then - he bought my mini pickup though!!). Marshall was such a power house ...needed to keep people like Angus in check. I remember one day when Angus climbed the clock tower in his boxer shorts and.....doh!! Not in a public forum Mr A!!!! 😬 aka Dave Ardley.

caterhamnut Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 😳 - to be fair to JAC, who I always thought was a decent chap, we got away with murder in Marshall - I think it was because the years just above us had been such a bunch of bullying vandals, we were allowed our 'little mischiefs', such as throwing stars and air rifles!! I shot a 3rd year (accidently of course 😳 ) and it was just suggested that we should perhaps remove the arsenal of rifles and pistols from the Upper 6th room. www.mycaterham.com here 88,500 miles -1st 1.6k Supersport, '95 Motor Show car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted January 22, 2006 Area Representative Share Posted January 22, 2006 No firearms in my day! Eric ran a good compromise between discipline and laissez faire. Marshall always had excellent spirit for a day house, I think that partly this was Eric's driving spirit and partly the slight separation from the main school. Foxcombe had a similar feeling and Brian Hastilow created a special atmosphere at Fairwater. I always felt there was always something slightly eccentric about us but until the Angus story I had thought that that sort of behaviour was the boarders particular bag. John Fischer - vague memory of him. JAC certianly taught me some English, as did Paul Wickham (odd chap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Wile7, My spotted was similar to yours.... Was on my laptop wallpaper! The car will be down later in the year (August/September) for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterhamnut Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 GJT - just to confirm, I think the clock tower story from Dave is a slight fictional creation!! We got away with far worse though 😬, and totally agree about the spirit of Marshall, as you say, possibly because of the location. We built a complete extra secret floor in the upper sixth room - 'Great Escape' sort of stuff in the loft - floorboards, lighting, cushions etc etc 😳 😬 www.mycaterham.com here 88,500 miles -1st 1.6k Supersport, '95 Motor Show car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile7 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Angus...Angus...you can not try to pretend that your clock climbing routine did not exist 😬. OK, I made it up 😳 Did you ever do the sponsored absail down the tower? I did twice and the second time the teacher who tied me off 'didn't' (Prescott - Geography teacher IIRC) and it was only Malcoms quick thinking that stopped me falling to my death I think *eek* Scared all the brown stuff out of me 😬 Back on topic: Spotted A really pretty white caterham 1700 supersprint (with mild water tide markings on the outside) on an English plate with a rather dapper looking chap driving. Seen outside a bloody large plate glass window in the highstreet..... Doh! It's that window again 😳 😬  Dave Ardley.

CageyH Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Dave, If it makes you happy, you have been spotted (by proxy). One of my Girlfriends french friends, who lives in L'Isle Jourdain, told her she spotted a white Caterham. Not sure when it was, but it is a legal spotted.
