September 28, 2005: The most obvious difference between my car and a Caterham is the placement of the scuttle.
The steering wheel is in approximately the same place on both cars. This explains why my engine appears so much further back than the Caterhams and why a Caterham shift knob always appears to be so far forward. Due to the rearward placement, the scuttle is wider and this is one reason my windshield looks tall. Despite appearances, the wheelbase is almost identical.
