  1. All true. Remember, Amazon didn't make a profit for YEARS. I thought their stock was crazy, a few years ago Look at them now. Tesla is tech. First real electric cars, which all assume is the direction of the future. Plus, something I read some time ago said Musk is really interested in gaining dominance in the charging industry, for all electric cars. Electricity is probably the most pure of energy transfer we have % wise. But, unless the charging electricity comes from wind, solar, tide, etc, by the time you add pollution from batteries, it is not clean.. The environment is not better off if your juice comes from coal, oil, gas, etc.
  2. Good luck. Hopefully they are not like Texas DPS/DMV. Checking daily for cancellation spots.
  3. "Crammin', Jammin', and Damnin'." - Love that. Tell your sainted wife she is good. "heater" ? My you Caterham lot are softies.
  4. Not to start anything political, but some statues are defending themselves.
  5. They are Darrens, unless I'm wrong. As in designer Dutch Darren. Doors slide forward into the body.

    Great looking car.
  7. Great set of photos. Thanks. The bus is a nice illustration of what can happen with swing axles if you do a hard lift in a corner. Of course the high cg is something SUV & PU drivers should be wary of now days. That bus could start a class at any high school.
  8. Seven too heavy? This is a nice toy on BAT. [h=3]No Reserve: Bolster Bloody Mary Special Recreation[/h] https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1929-bloody-mary-special-recreation-hillclimb-special/?utm_source=dm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2020-06-20
  9. Don't hold your breath. Most people start turning blue after 3 minutes. Seven (7) days to go.
  10. congratulations Cem! I expect you will love it. Just think of all the cool jackets and hats you'l need up north. Get safety glasses, prescription if you use one. ...I have never driven a right hand car, with sequential gear box. ... I can't speak to the gearbox, but I do have the steering wheel on the proper side too. Should be no sweat adapting to where you sit in relation to the car, as long as you have always aimed at the center of your line. Only ONE caution. Left turns. If you cannot see due to big thing in the opposite lane, DON'T GO. As everyone has converted to P/Us and SUVs, this has become a very common accident. People get impatient and pull out, even though they can't see, and BAM, KAPOW, etc. Otherwise, RHD is joy. It lets people know that it is a proper British car. God save the queen.
  11. AND you are going to have a new, perfect one arriving from Amazon soon. But you keep one that is serviceable. Not a bad deal. I had a friend with a small business "big computer" from Dell and the same thing happened. Some problem. Dell shipped a new one and didn't want the iffy one back. It still works. $4000 computer twofer. The world of e commerce can be weird. Don't worry. Be happy.
  12. You might also consider something like Brooklands screens. Or maybe fabricate some lexan tabs to direct the air flow on the driver's side.
  13. Don't get me started about the safety of street cars on race tracks. I consider the whole trend reprehensible.
  14. I would not dare instruct the Croc on his work (?) habits. I was just thanking John for posting the mud flap pictures. I do hope John also has the sense of humor. The line "looking good" should have been your tip off that it wasn't about you.
  15. Looking good. Now get back to work! Thanks.
  16. Oh. please show us a picture of the mud flaps. Sounds like a good idea. Are they removable?
  17. If the Caterham on BAT is just too big for your taste, check out this one: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1951-crosley-lemans-special/?utm_source=dm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2020-06-02
  18. Emerging from covid19, we all need to remember to eat more healthy. Salads! My daughter made this great salad with bacon: [ATTACH=CONFIG]17096[/ATTACH]
  19. So,, how was the seat? Did the big toe fit in your racing slippers?
  20. Darn. I forgot to put on my safety hat and chide Croc about proper footwear in the shop. For a happier example: At the Indy 500, our group was getting a tour of Gasoline Alley when a lady was prohibited entry. She had on some fancy sandals and it turns out that, prudently, one has to have closed shoes to go there. She ended up with duck tape all over her sandals. Croc, print out and post immediately: PPE - Foot > Signs">
