Those folks that are that way an drive a Caterham of Westfield or Berklin and tend to have their nose pointing up are just JELLOUS when they see how much cheaper our cars where for us to acquire.....Just my belief.....and if I had the money to buy a new Caterham or one of the other makes I would still take and build my own as I have done just for the satisfaction.

I though that line "featuring driveway lubrication" was just for 7's that used BMC motors.:jester:

Check SpeedWay Motors as they have several different types for street rods that should work.

Good one.

:hurray: Well I guess I should say hello to the 500th member, so hello:seeya: . I missed on the date that the forum would have 500 members by only :rofl: 9 days. It shows that the founding members of this group did good so here is a :thumbs: to them and all the members that make up this group.

That is really a good one.

You due know that Toyota only makes toy trucks for people who think they need a truck when they only need a car.

This is nuts but cool. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8959221252413764426&hl=en

:crazy: Looks like my Oct 10, 2007 might be a good guess.

I have been know to let people drive my car after talking to them for a while and giving them a ride and then taking them to a large parking lot and showing them how quickly the car can turn and stop and then usually let them drive back to the house or shop or where we started from. The youngest person to drive my car yet has been an 16yr old and the oldest person to my knowledge has been 73yrs old. I have to say the youngest person seemed to have a bigger smile than all the others so far and the rides have helped convince several people to either build or buy a 7 for their own pleasure plus it is just neat to see those smiles and to make new friends.

That just is not right.....it needs a PA with a sound track of some sort.....just isn't right.

My Vote is a SEAT the Spanish built Fiat. Not an uncommon site in southern Spain to see farm animals being transported in the family car.

Thanks Mazda. Hope to see you their if all goes well and I can do some finagling on the home front for Sat Oct. 13th..

Tom, Mazda, Al, Jon, Box an EvilR, I am defiantly going to try to get together with at least a couple of you and try to get to the auto-x. Just have to coordinate it with my brother and my wife. Who knows maybe I will get my brother to drive down on Saturday to see the Auto-X and any of you that will be their. Maybe someone can post directions or e-mail me the directions to the Auto-X. I wonder what type of rental car I can get…Hertz dose not have Caterhams or Westfield’s for rent. Just joking.

Hi Tom, That would be great if it is not to far into Md. and at what time would it start as I will have to try to make sometime on Saturday as my wife has informed me that we will be in Oxford at my brothers home for dinner but I will see what I can due. Keep me informed.

Great Photo. Now where is that rifle or bow.......

Hi Friends in the North East, I will be in Exton Pennsylvania area from Oct 7, 2007 to Oct 14, 3007 and was wondering if their are any of you that might be close by that area. If you are and you are up to it I would really enjoy meeting with you at your leisure. PM me and I will give you my schedule which is pretty flexible and my phone number so we can get together while I am back east.

Mazda I just figured that is from all that torque your motor puts out. :eek:

Al, That is a very good description and story of how you came to have possession of fine "7". I have to agree with your wife’s comment that anything else would leave you wanting a "7" but you know that now as most of us due know besides you can always buy one of the other cars for another toy to have if your wife will buy off on it. By the way you should write more as you seem to have a knack for it.

I was in Belize Central America near the village of Maskall about one hour north west of Belize City, BZ. working at building a golf course and resort that I am 1/3 owner of and at the time working on the fifth fairway and green. I can still remember yelling at the young man who came rushing up to me on one of our bikes that we have for resort as he had just driven onto the green that I was in the middle of inspecting as the green was only a week old and we had told all of our employees to stay off the new greens until we tell them that they can walk on them to mow and to never push of drag any thing across any of the greens as it will leave wheel ruts or grooves in the green and here he was on this bike right next to me in the middle of the green pulling my arm and saying you must go to office now. I was beside my self and could hardly keep from smacking him as I yelled at him to get the hell off that bike and this green but he just kept saying “Mr. Martin you need to come to the office now as Mr. Tom said you to take bike and hurry”. My first though was that Tom one of my co-partners was hurt or very ill as the kids face was dead serious, I asked what is wrong as I started to get on the bike to ride back to the office and all I got from the kid was “Mr. Tom said for you to hurry” so I did. I got to the office to see Tom and most of our staff all gathered in front of one of the TV’s when Tom looked at me and said we were under attack by unknown people as they have flown into the World Trade Center with a hi-jacked jet liner. I remember saying to Tom that someone has tapped into the Belize TV cable again and was showing a poorly made home video when Tom switched to another channel that was much clearer and had a different commentator trying to describe what was taking place when in the background their appeared another airliner which flew into the other tower. I think we all stood their in dead silence for the next couple of minutes trying to comprehend what we had just seen and what it meant. About an hour later we both got on the phone to our families in the states to let them know we were aware of what was going on and to make sure they were ok. That was the last phone call that we were able to get through to the states for the next 18 days as almost all of the phone systems outside of the US were either shut down or limited to certain types of usage due to the attacks on the WTC, and the Pentagon. The other thing that I remember is about two days later while sitting in front of the office I realized that we had not seen an airplane that we knew crossed the night sky every night at the same time going the same direction so the next morning Tom and I went to the US Consulate in Belize City and were told by the people their that they were going to send someone out to check on us if we had not showed up when we did. At that time we were told that the morning flight that had left Belize International for Houston, TX. at 6:30 am on the 11th had been diverted to Mexico City and were asked if we knew of anyone on that flight which we did as I had take two couples to the airport and put them on that flight to Huston which was diverted to Mexico City. Later we found out that they were stuck their for almost 2 weeks due to no flights into the US from Mexico. We went another 22 days with out any banking or major purchases due to the almost total collapse of the economy of Belize due to the attack on the WTC and the suspension of flights into and out of the USA. AS for the tourist economy it is finally starting to come back but now where near what it was prior to 911 and as for the resort and golf course it is for sale. PS: The other day I remember was when President Kennedy was shot it Dallas TX.. Opps I am telling my age now.

Good one.

Heck I though a hat, scarf and wool jacket was a heater along with the trans tunnel being warm to hot depending on how much air flow your car has through the engine compartment.:jester:

Now my jaws hurt from laughing.

Now that is a spare tire rack! How is that made and attached and detached?

Than a good one. Hope my wife dose not read my reply as I will be in trouble and probably wind up on the sofa for think that.
