  1. Wow. You might win a prize for that fast draw. I checked the email from BAT and web site just about 15 min. ago and this was not there. Insider connection?
  2. The trailer is now available without waiting for a buyer for the Birkin. I'll give i a week here, then try Craigslist.
  3. There is nothing like trying one for size. I have 11 1/2 - 12 shoes and fit OK in the Birkin, Did move pedal box for length and bent the brake pedal a bit. Driving shoes with no edge to the soles are a must.
  4. Just look at the old Lotus Sevens. Cushion across the back and another under the butt and you're set on that end. If your feet are proportionally large, just consider surgically removing the small toe and associated area from each foot. Or maybe just a hand operated clutch and spread out the brake pedal. If no-one has done that yet, be sure to set up a separate thread. Easy! Welcome to the nut house.
  5. Alrighty. For all the Cat owners, don't miss your chance for the groovy 50th anniversary stuff: https://caterhamcars.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=96e29daa32694c3df6b45d9a4&id=db7b3c5961&e=b0f2468ef5 And since a Cat is just such a touring type car, they are calling the luggage GTO (sic) something. "Last but not least, we have teamed up with Jordan Bespoke to launch the Official Caterham 420 CUP GTO kit bag and Motorsport GTO helmet bag." Certainly sound classier than BilpShift. Happy shopping.
  6. Old people may remember the Kougar mostly because Tony Hogg (R&T editor) had one before he got his 427 Cobra.
  7. Nice. Will you leave them unlabeled, since it's your car and you know which is which, or label some way? Really looks the business.
  8. Ha, let me know if you find one. The one I mentioned was a one off by Hagerty. For some years there was a big one every week at the BMW dealer in Plano. They quit and then something I do not understand transpired. I never though C&C was some kind of franchise, but the news said Rawlings of Gas Monkey Garage bought it. He made promises of how he would get it going bigger and better. Now there are only one-offs a couple times a year. All British & European Car Day at Whiterock lake is coming 5/7. Park Cities Historical Preservation has a nice car show 29 Apr 2023 10:00 AM . I don't know of much else in DFW other than motorsport events. Burleson Park at SMU
  9. Now that's a great photo. Truly a wonderful job well done. A perfect memorial. I salute you, sir.
  10. New meaning to the erm "ground effects."
  11. Best use of a yoga thing that I can think of.
  12. You still cannot beat a V12. Enjoy it.
  13. I have Hagerty and I'm very happy with them. I believe that their track day coverage is on a day to day basis, so you pay for what you use, when you are going to use it.
  14. Cool photo and car. Welcome aboard.
  15. Congrats. And a great bumper sticker!
  16. Gads! It's beginning to look like a motorcar.
  17. I thought the Slingshot was interesting when first introduced. BUT, checked it and thought "why is it 500 pounds heavier than a Seven?" Heavy tubes and thick fiberglass! Too heavy with nothing a Seven can't have. The new engine might be a good replacement for a Seven IF it is light.
  18. Well said, Bruce. So happens I had a long chat with a Morgan trike owner at C&C this morning and he sounded a lot like a Seven owner. However his interior was so beautifully trimmed I could hardly believe it. Turns out he liked so much of a similar experience as a road driven Seven. As an aside, the slant 6 Valiants did very well in Mexico against the Falcons.
  19. So, what is with all those Build Threads? It says right here that you car build it in 24 hours! Of course, they had 3-4 guys, so it might take a whole weekend. It couldn't be on the interwebb if it wasn't true. Right?
  20. Nice looking seats. The last photo seems to have Zoom Zoom Vroom Vroom sounds imbedded.
  21. The geography is also off. Ad says near Beaumont. But the mountains are either not in Texas or maybe some angle of the Chisos mountains along the border nearish to Terlingua, about 700 miles west.
  22. Yeah, with the silver car next to it and the wires, I'd say you're both right. And you are very fortunate on the wife front.
  23. Original idea? Big mirror so you can see yourself in the car.
  24. EU and UK appear to see the light on low volume makers. https://www.hagerty.co.uk/articles/news-articles/low-volume-sports-car-makers-exempt-from-eu-2035-ban/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=newsletter&utm_content=_&utm_term=
