Hey Alice:

Thanks for the message and of course I appreciate your solution to not getting wet while driving in a Lotus (or Caterham) 7 (Seven)... just drive faster!

Doug,
 
Will look for this issue, but I have to say the solution to rain falling on a moving Seven (or Caterham) is to drive faster. This is why a Seven seems more a kin to a motorcycle than a 4-wheeled vehicle.  I “think” I have side curtains and maybe even a top – somewhere.  First ELCC meeting we ever attended (in the Seven of course) was in the snow.  
Alice

Hello:

For those of you who enjoy reading about "elemental driving experiences" in "Lotus" cars (and you know who you are!), you might like to pick up the April 2014 issue of Automobile magazineand read the article about the Caterham Seven 160.

The article was written by Jamie Kitman who obviously enjoys driving and writing about the older Lotus cars, and as I'm pretty sure most of you know, the Caterham company has been producing a version of the Lotus 7 (with agreemernt from Colin Chapman & Comapany) ever since the Lotus Motor Company stopped building this car, years and years ago.

The article is a fun one, which describes the normal fun you can have in a car like this, including some time driving one in the pouring rain (with hail) with the side curtains on, but the top off!

Enjoy!

Doug Jackson

PS: I took my 1976 Lotus Elite out for a drive (in the rain) today and enjoyed myself a lot even though the rubber part of my (one big) windshield wiper started to come apart as I returned from Burien on the Viaduct this afternoon... it's all good!!!
