  1. Hurray! Another right side drive Birkin. Welcome.
  2. Congratulations. Now you re golden. My car is titled as 1965 and it makes everything so easy. This is another example of the variety of attitudes at different official offices. A beurocrat's attitude can have a very real affect on the individual. Never give up after a bad experience, just try another office or clerk. Sometimes the letter of the regulation does not matter as much as how the spouse treated them before they went to work that morning.
  3. PRODUCT OF THE DAY Getting in and out of your Seven has never been easier BRAND NEW FOR APRIL 1ST Today we introduce our new lubricant - meaning that your Seven is very-easy-to-get-in-and-out-of, you know. Check It Out https://caterhamcars.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=96e29daa32694c3df6b45d9a4&id=9dd3f64250&e=b0f2468ef5
  4. Prescription safety glasses in clear and tint. Great price at Sam's. Sometime a shorty motorcycle helmet (chrome for visibility). Caps won't stay on much over 35. Brooklands give more wind that a windshield, but direct instead of buffeting all around, so I prefer them. For long highway cruising, a closed helmet makes it as smooth and quiet as a limo. Gotta have my ear plugs.
  5. Now y'all see what we in the old Birkin yahoo group were enjoying for years.
  6. Thanks for posting that one. It's nice to know someone still knows how to really work a camera.
  7. Congratulations and welcome to the nut-case community. Great car.
  8. Welcome, Tex. I'm in Dallas, close to Love Field if you get up this way. Love the color, much like my Birkin, but I don't have the snazzy yellow snout. I would like to see how your exhaust is routed, as I may want to do something like that. My car is Loud right under my ear. Enjoy.
  9. What a lovely road. You're making me jealous again. If I had roads like that at my disposal, I might go sane.
  10. Impossible to guess the mileage of the old Birkin. Built between 1986 and 1989. Engine change 1990, when imported by original owner from South Africa. I got it in December 2013, and finally titled and registered in Sept. 2014, after a miraculous recovery from the dreaded Lost Title Syndrome. I probably put only 1500 miles a year, since there are no convenient and worthy roads nearby.
  11. How do you make the various holes?
  12. Well deserved.
  13. IF it came right down to it, Cat could probably make a light enough car if they shot for a range of 100 miles. I don't think many hard butts really go further with any regularity. Anyway, I like my noise.
  14. Fear not, said the angels. Before gasoline becomes hard to get, we shall have green gas: https://www.magnetomagazine.com/articles/view,promising-new-efuels-could-save-the-combustion-engine-and-the-planet_38.htm?&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=newsletter&utm_content=_&utm_term=_
  15. Love the CF steering wheel. I got to hold one (off the car) and was amazed how light it ways. Mere grams.
  16. Thanks. Sounds like you had a fun visit with the bonus of hands on training.
  17. Looks like a perfect opportunity to create a snow-mold for a custom seat. Good luck with your trees.
  18. Poor image, but hence the name Arch Motors:
  19. Sacrilegious, but cool. Probably a better solution than my laying stuff on the passenger seat, then retrieving it from the footwell.
  20. WHAT?!!?? A cup holder in a Seven????? Say it isn't so.
  21. Maybe silly question. Are you putting it in first or second before trying to go to reverse? It's helpful on a lot of transmissions.
  22. Wow, Croc. I gree with everything you said! neat trick with the turn signals to abate the nannies. Yes, I agree that BMW has lost their way. The newest front ends are hideous. It started with Chris Bangle screwing up the trunk lids. Trunk a % looked like came from a 7..Trunk on a 7 looked like off a proto-9? And they are not the "driver's car' any more. Several years ago, I went to a mfg drive/test thing and basically autocrossed a new 3. Unfortunately, I had a really nice prepped 2002 (Webers, tires, shocks, minilites, etc) for a few weeks at the time. The new car was no match for the 2002. Huge let down. No problem with Mercedes, they have always been a reliable truck. Even, also, sworn off VW after a terrible experience.
  23. Seems I have noticed that Croc has not posted his daily driver. Maybe ask the chauffer or car service?
  24. 2017 Tacoma when I need a pickup. Truth is I drive the Wife's 2013 Civic more. Like em? For driving, the Civic can't hold a candle to the Jetta before. The Tacoma is just so big, after my 1980 Toyota pickup (La Milagrosa).
