  1. 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
  2. On Hankook tires. Humm
  3. [ATTACH=CONFIG]17178[/ATTACH]
  4. Don't hold your breath. Most people start turning blue after 3 minutes. Seven (7) days to go.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. You might also consider something like Brooklands screens. Or maybe fabricate some lexan tabs to direct the air flow on the driver's side.
  8. Congrats. :driving:
  9. Don't get me started about the safety of street cars on race tracks. I consider the whole trend reprehensible.
  10. 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.
  11. Looking good. Now get back to work! Thanks.
  12. Oh. please show us a picture of the mud flaps. Sounds like a good idea. Are they removable?
  13. 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
  14. 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]
  15. So,, how was the seat? Did the big toe fit in your racing slippers?
  16. 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">
  17. Can we have done with this discourse? Please.
  18. Finally, day 88 or whatever:
  19. Wow, even your battery has boobs! Too bad about the toe. But, exaggerate it a bit more and you can play hero tomorrow. The tape may not be good. When you to not need them, get some "butterfly bandages" for the first aid kit. Good news about the beer. Have fun tomorrow.
  20. Hope it works as good as it looks. Good ideas for anyone contemplating a real seat. Just one thing. I thought surely you would have it covered in red antelope suede or blue nomex with piping and the a crest and your initials. Are you saving that for after you use and approve it?
  21. Definitely polish and clean the seats (see above). It occasionally amazes me how much looking good affects buyers, when purely cosmetic and easily remedied. I certainly would not change the seats out. If the buyer does not like your new choice, it's wasted money, as others have said. A good detailer can work miracles. We sold a 30 that anyone would say needed a repaint. The detailer cost about $100 and easily added $10,000 to what we got. Get references and talk to a few.
  22. Fear not! After it gets to Chicago, it MAY turn back west. Unless it goes to Atlanta.
  23. Of course he thinks the original was perfect. It was his baby. Maybe it should be taken with a bit of salt. Chapman probably thought each design was perfect, but then he would change it, and change it again.
  24. Just asked a 6 year old if he understands why there is no school. He said yes because they are out of toilet paper. After years of wanting to thoroughly clean my house but lacking the time, this week I discovered that wasn’t the reason. 2020 is a unique Leap Year. It has 29 days in February, 300 days in March & 5 years in April. Wearing a mask inside your home is now highly recommended, not so much to prevent COVID-19 but to stop eating. You think it’s bad now, just wait in 20 years our country will be run by people home schooled by day drinkers. Whoever owes you money, go to their house now, They should be home. Home schooling Day #342: They all graduated. ###Done
