As my London Super Seven 1600 twin Nic got his car back after its year 4 service, it was time to do a little blat. We met up at St James's Square, in Central London.
The original plan was to head South out of London to Chartwell in Kent, the home of Churchill run by the National Trust. It's quite a tortuous route, all 20pmh zones till you get past Croydon. Not a great way of getting out of London, heading East is probably the best option. Arriving at Chartwell it turned out to be rather busy, so we headed off to the White Hart in Sevenoaks. This is a very nice pub with an excellent kitchen.
Then it was a pretty good run from Sevenoaks through country lanes up to Dartford, and then back home. Checking the car after, I noticed that the new Caterham radiator was actually pressing onto the nosecone and leaving a mark in the fibreglass. This is because the new rad has a slightly bigger top edge than the previous one.
So today I opened-up the righthand mounting holes to drop that side down by a couple of millimetres. Now I can get a sheet of paper in between the rad and nosecone! Hopefully that will be fine and the nosecone mark won't spread.
