oioi Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 this from piston heads "The Caterham Academy attracts an eclectic mix of people and professions: this year's intake includes a brace of barristers, a jeweller, several City traders, a scientist, an advertising executive and a music industry exec, as well as two evo journalists. In 2001 the Academy attracted its first vicar, the Rev Bob Mackrill; his son, Robert, plans to follow in his father's wheeltracks through the Academy next season." a bunch of people i really dont want to meet! all it is is missing is the dot com ****** and you could play londont nunney top trumps with the entry list. catergories would be:- smallest chin (the vicar obviously), longest pause mid sentance (the barrister), biggest cocaine consumption (tricky that, a high scoring card almost guaranteed - would be close between the city traders, ad exec, the marketing exec but clearly the vicars son would just have the edge) first to say how much they earn (city trader by far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick.Petty Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 And I bet the City trader wears his trading floor 'colours' whilst driving the Caterham (badly) ...... and making weird gestures with his hands.... "Ooooh YA, Buy, Sell, Buy ....BUY" ...CRASH!! Bye Bye .. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phssthpok Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 .....Article taken from “UK CARAVAN PULLERS GAZETTE” Want to Pi*s off other motorists? The Caravan Academy is a unique introduction into “Slowmo” caravan towing and since its inception in 1995, some 300 people have participated in this groundbreaking championship. It was created to be the first rung on the anti-motorsport ladder, specifically designed to make the sport accessible for novices to compete in slow speed driving and lane blocking events on a level basis at a minimum cost. The retail price of £14,950 for this road legal Slowmo Caravan not only includes all event and administration fees, but also flat-hat fitting, barbecue lighting tuition day and a technical seminar on awning erection at our Midlands facility. And at the end of the season, you get to keep the caravan. The Caravan Academy has to be the most cost effective way into Slowmo sport, and together with its active lemonade fuelled social scene is an ideal way to learn how to pi*s off other motorists. What The Caravan Academy will do! * We supply a standard caravan in kit form with a number of speed inhibiting modifications. * An Academy appointed bearded person is available to assist you whilst you are building your caravan and during the course of the season. * During the course of the year we run several technical workshops to assist you in ignoring road rules and lane wandering. * We take you through basic training/medical for you to obtain your “middle-lane” driving licence * We provide a circuit training day complete with flat cap instructors. * Our dedicated co-ordinator will assist you with all administration, queries, accommodation etc and will attend all the meetings. * All entry fees will be paid by us * One of our technicians will be on hand at each meeting to give help and advice * You will compete in 8 events during the course of the season * 4 Slow Speed events which will include hill crawling, parking space blocking and how to drive 30mph under the speed limit. * 4 Slow Speed Events at circuits such as the M25, North Circular and The Lake District. All for £14,950 inc vat and the caravan is yours forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilwillis Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 What exactly is this Caterham academy? It's a bit like the Royal Yacht Club, only the head gear is different I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Elworthy Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Caterham Academy... Thanks, Seems like a good idea, people wanting to compete at an entry level with equal-ish cars. (and good business for Caterham I would imagine - especially if they've filled 2 grids as it says) Whats the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcooke Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I didn't realise there were class based ownership restrictions on them: Is it: Original Lotus 7 - Aristocracy Caterham - Upper middle class Westfield - Middle class Locost - Lower middle class Robin Hood - Peasants and serfs If so, I'm a bit of a toff so will have to get me a Caterham.
