A Caterham Christmas

Completely sozzled, and after a lovely dinner... A number of my relatives (most of them) have either gone for a walk or retired for a snooze... Using this 'spare' time I decided to spruce up the Caterham and share some of the Caterham and build related gifts I received.

Firstly after seeing a similar picture in the latest copy of The Low Flying magazine, I decided to give the car a bit of Christmas bling (if you could call it that!)
The Xmas R500 Duratec - the Mrs thinks it's cool, but I'm not so sure...

And then onto the good stuff... The pressies :-)

I also received this awesome builders gift from my mate Andy Morgan, who has an R300 Duratec.  He felt my pain when I didn't end up managing to start my car in my garage during the build, so he got me this Build Your Own Internal Combustion engine... I can feel a time lapse video coming up :-)

And the best present of all was this scroll...   Or should I say what was contained within the Scroll...

So an absolutely top day for a Caterham nut... Superb... And what a great day for a blat... Wish I didn't get so drunk!  

Merry Christmas to everyone.
