That is great. Just glad I do not have to clean up all the gost turds from that office or the cheaepet keyboard but I do like the aluminum foil office idea as I think it might help with the RF signal blocking but would also help conduct any stray electrical voltage. Martin Keller Ventura, Ca & Newberg, Or.

I would like to see the mount that the camera was on as it was very stable. Did you notice the left rear wheel was also smoking perty good at different times also not much body roll at all. Martin Keller Ventura, Ca. & Newberg, Or.

Ouch...That had to hurt. Martin Keller Ventura, Ca. & Newberg, Or.

I voted Al so cheer up.

I can hear in now on the evening news! The TN State Police and the NC State Police have been flooded with calls reporting a low flying silver streek that was emitting a ear pearcing sound on the road know as the Tail of the Dragon. And the local TV interviewer and a local; Yep it was a shine blur and my hound took for the hills and has not been back yet, Ma's afraid to come out of the house and the kids are still up in the tree and wont come down. Damdest thing I ever saw and small to beat all. Got to get me one of them things. Nice Shine. Martin Keller Ventura, Ca. & Newberg, Or.

Andrew7 Nice shine. You will need sun glasses to drive it now or snow goggles when the weather lets up in Pittsburgh, Pa.. Careful you do not blind other drivers. Martin Keller Ventura, Ca. & Newberg, Or.

Your car looks fast just sitting their. I like the way the roll bar and wind deflector look. Very well done. Martin Keller Ventura, Ca. & Newberg, Or.

That is Graham Earley’s Leitch Super Seven Sprint and it is really a very very well put together car. The quality of the work is some of the highest that I know of or have seen in photos. It makes my car look like what it is a Locost built for the fun of building a seven type car and having fun. You should check out his web site. Martin Keller Ventura, Ca. & Newberg, Or.

Oregon has some other strange State Police Vehicles like a couple of Ford F-250 Superduty 4X4 Extended cab pickups that patrol HYW 6 and HWY 26 west of Portland Or. (Mountains and Forest) and they are not stock as they have push bars, winches, and a cab guard that also supports an array of lights and very fast. I know this because a close friend of mine who is an Oregon State Police Officer and I have actually gone on a ride-a-long with him and his patrol truck so I know first hand. I own an F-350 Superduty and it is fast once you get it moving but his patrol truck was like a jackrabbit from the get go and did not have a speed limiter on it. Oh by the way it his is light blue with silver letters and markings. Fast and can go almost anywhere in all kinds of weather.

If math is correct and I am assuming that the digital read out on the R1 is in Kilometers per hour (208) the speed that the Seven was going at one point was about 129.20 mph and averaged just at 115.53 mph around that track. Very very impressive especially with two people in the Seven. The driver must really know that track as the car drove a better line that the R1 from what I could see.

roll a 7, I just might due that. Thanks for the invite and info. Have to ask "roll a 7" pertains to dice I hope and not a car that we are fond of. Martin

Jerry, Very nice. Sure make my car look poor. Again very nice. Martin Keller

Have you looked closely at the trees and poles on that course. I don't think you would see that here in the states the enviromentalist would be up in arms over the tires rapped around the trees and the slight chance of someone running into one and hurting it let alone the possiblity of someone running off the road and killing some rare form of weed. As for that I would just like to give that road a try but I do not think I would be anywhere as quick as that driver and that seven.

My name is Martin Keller and my wife and I live in Newberg, Or. and Ventura, Ca. when we are not on the road. My car is titled as a 1963 Lotus 7 Replica in Oct 2006 and driven every chance that I have and that is a lot here in SoCal. I used an MGB as the donor for the engine 1800cc, trans, rear dif and brake drums, front spindles and disk brakes. I built my frame and suspension from scratch and formed all the body parts except the nose cone which I purchased as it was easier than making one. Seats were I purchased along with the gas tank as I could buy them cheaper than I could build them. My paint job cost a total of $22.00 US (Six spray cans with enough leftover for touch-ups) now that is what I call Locost. Here are some photos of my fun car. http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070108_213205_J1812.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070108_213247_J1813.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070108_213313_J1814.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070108_213355_J1816.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070108_213450_J1817.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070108_213528_J1818.jpg A SoCal hard top. http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070108_213549_J1819.jpg My Four Legged Friend (Maxwell B Smart)waiting for his ride. http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070108_213927_Max_in_7_121206.jpg Having fun Auto Crossing at Camerillo Airport in Camerillo, Calif.
