First comparison is the Caterham performance with the carbs lean'd off quite a bit - yes it felt fine and performed 'as was' on a long run.
Second was the steering rack - not sure I spotted anything there. However, at the garage I also 'discovered' that the rear offside tyre had been only 10 PSI and the rest were all over the place - lazy me. Need to check them more often.
Went to Landguard Fort on the way back to check speed bumps - no problem if you stick to the middles. Might have been a new rattle or noise - but who knows.
Then took the Alpine to the shops to buy a few bits - inc a new jubilee clip for the exhaust on the Seven. Got hot out there - filled up with super unleaded at Shell. but not sure it ran as well afterwards - but it had been pottering around the town.
Forgot to buy a set of punches so jumped into the Aston and back to town.
Comparison three - 1960 to 2013 - Brakes are so good in the Aston vs the Alpine I kept stopping too fast. And the steering is so direct - and and and. I'll have to make the most of it.
Fitted the clip on the exhaust and then cleaned the dust off the Caterham with detailing fluid and gave it a polish. Nice.
Oh and the summer 'knock' from the rear is back on the Seven.
