Doing some pre-drive maintenance and then getting her out on the roads for the first time.

It's cool to see the progress you have made as well as how you have overcome the setbacks.

The DIY fuel filler funnel is so appropriate for a DIY car.

I'm saving up to buy or build something like your 7 replica after a friend let me drive one of his Caterham for an afternoon. My wife calls him the local Lotus-pusher since he gives so many test drives.

I like your choice of music. It's upbeat and it makes it "sound like you are going somewhere". Don't mind the haters on the other videos.

Holds traction really well! 1st is just pointless in mine may try switching from the cup2 tyres next

finds that limiter pretty quick ey ... depending on how they are set up rev limiters can be as bad to an engine as not having one but soft cuts are better than hard ones but setting it bit higher than you would like then pulling a heap of timing as you get near it helps train you to shift as the power rolls off ...its hard to lift n shift when its still really boggyin ... it sounds terrifc Dave I'm really happy for you mate ..

Is this the car that's been on officially gassed a few times? Such a wicked car, love it

I'mveryinterested in some info about the aluminum chassis

I see you changed the colour from green to blue, and got a smaller steering wheel. What steering rack have you got on the car? My car isn't on the road yet but i think I made a mistake by getting a standard rack instead of quick rack.

Can’t remember. What kind of engine is that? What I mean to ask is the original manufacturer. I know it’s not all that original any more.
