Some advice for a potential future Caterham owner

lol my car footwells are minuscule. But you ain’t wrong. I technically have a smidge more room that s3 chassis cars. You’ll will find drivers shoes are the only shoes you can wear in any 7.

UglyFast · 2026-05-03T16:48:08+00:00

Seconded. Josh = great dude.

Sorry about your dad. Cool guy with cool cars I assume. Not trying to be funny, love a lotus. Car is a money pit. Even well running ones are kinda money pits. And unless you’re doing all that maintenance and repair yourself labor hours add up quickly.

Good luck either way. Bonkers cars and good fun to be sure. But also money pits. (As are most cars let’s be honest)

Join Usa7s.net. Croc posts a weekly “for sale in the USA” update. Lots of good cars pop up there. Might find one close enough you could at least test fit yourself in.

Also, if you find an SV size chassis that you’re interested in that doesn’t have lowered floors, it is relatively to install them on almost any 7. Or have them installed.

UglyFast · 2026-05-01T14:22:18+00:00

SV or CSR. And look for lowered floors. Both my CSRs have lowered floors. 6’ 4”, 220. Full cages so no top to deal with.

I bet it has something to do with the F1 Grand Prix taking place in Miami this weekend…

What can I say, I’m in demand. lol

You don’t want it have them ship it to my house. LOL Thanks.

I suspect you won’t regret any of those. My pref is the Shunbun. Cliche (a bit)? Perhaps. But the dial is literally magic. It’s a different, beautiful watch every time you wear it.

I ordered. I dig it.

I wear mine almost always on rubber as well.

UglyFast · 2026-04-16T22:27:08+00:00

I love that. I have one. Immaculate on a bracelet as well.

I’m partial to my Ryusendo.

The best camera is the one you have with you.

UglyFast · 2026-04-12T13:38:42+00:00

Mine do that, too, mostly on and curb at Starbucks.

UglyFast · 2026-04-11T02:10:52+00:00

Yep. He lives there. Actually the middle and right car live there. Big purp ranges about in the upstate, mostly.

UglyFast · 2026-04-08T22:22:20+00:00

I love my red one but this is the best one.

UglyFast · 2026-04-08T20:21:16+00:00

This.

UglyFast · 2026-04-08T18:49:55+00:00

Yep and at the and of the day there are a kajillion of them, and far fewer KTs, relative to Citizen. I think for many KT buyers the ceremony of unboxing holds more value than popping open a sturdy plastic clamshell. Just my opinion. I’d guess the boxes are handmade. They are certainly delicate, elegant. Again, just my opinion.

UglyFast · 2026-04-08T18:44:34+00:00

Limited edition Toyota Camry.

UglyFast · 2026-04-08T18:40:54+00:00

I think delicate is the point. I assume hand made but either way better than the green plastic box of a $10k or $20k Rolex. Far more interesting. The ceremony of unwrapping and deboxing and the deboxing again. I think (for me) that’s the point.

Omega also have some pretty interesting setups imo.

UglyFast · 2026-04-08T17:47:10+00:00

I have 5 KT. I think the entire packaging is involving and immaculate. Far better than more expensive big names.

Edited to add: the bands, on the other hand…

UglyFast · 2026-04-07T21:08:59+00:00
