The two year anniversary

I can't believe it's been two years since the kit was delivered!  But yes, two years ago the kit arrived, and the fun began!
Two years ago today, I first saw my R500 in the metal!

A couple of months later, it was finished... well kinda :-)
The build was finished by end of March (with a two week holiday in-between!)

And nearly another three months after the car was finished, I got it back...
Three months later it was finally road worthy, and on it's way back to me!

Two years in, I'd say the ownership has had it's fair share of issues, (all of which are now sorted-I hope!) there were plenty of general build frustrations and other nu-ances, but I am still very happy with my decision to buy, and build a Caterham.   The driving experience on the other hand has been superb, it really is one of the best, if not the best car to drive, I really do love it!

There's already a fair number of items from this years 'prep list' completed, so there's only a few bits left to do to finish the prep off and then she'll be ready for this years blatting action, albeit on and off track!
