Caterham owner new to the forum

[Super7Driver]

Hi Everyone,
I'm David, and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, Menlo Park to be more precise. I've got a 1990 Caterham Seven, powered by a Ford Crossflow on twin webbers. I've had it for about 15 years, and I've had British cars in my life since the erly 1980s.... my wife likes to say that when we met in the mid 1990s, I had three cars, none of which were running! They were a 1964 Triumph TR4 (my "good" car), a 1964 1275S Cooper Mini (a bitsa autocross car), and a 1973 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special (the unintended project car... I had to take it apart to fix a bent chassis to cure weird handling). I'm down to just the Seven now, and am really looking forward to the weather clearing up so that I can drive it more, as I've spent the better part of two years chasing, and finally fixing a clutch problem. I'm looking forward to exploring this forum. I'm also "Super7Driver" on Bringatrailer.

Cheers, -Da

I'm sorry but you're going to have to give that car to me!

I need a better pic after spending bloody hours polishing it, but it's been rainy every weekend for way too long!

Welcome! Good looking example!

A dear friend of fifty years has a Caterham, we've fussed with it for a few years now. Had to do some MacGyverin' with the accelerator pedal and cable to the Webers a while ago, after fifty-plus years of Lotus ownership and working on others' cars I'm the one with no hair.
