  1. Hope no one tries to register that in Texas. It has the same VIN as my car (except for the silly 000s).
  2. Not available at BlipShift.
  3. By the way. Thanks to all that are posting the amusing stuff. My family is quite pleased that I am finding so much material for our group emails.
  4. This just posted on BAT> I love it when I see that someone is even more crazy than me or us. Just nuts, but it would be a blast. A scary blast. http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GQ4jpC0XJhJ1g207R0_0cMGV9TvESdH0Dg8iy7R5Jkc3vMqRNS0qL6S7hqRv61cgDXKwF7bBo55TVeMJVqvV9-5NA1BaPWWKZAtBh8KbBRrlw5CJHLGhlQGXKLK4bPnAYNS2EqkF1RVTyNvsUBclHAe5aqGA4qf7CryvyhUckisntw0AcvddKDPeNXye7-UKtMagjXrlXWIXTQpMVuvLRJYElBkSzz5clCkaOWDgrsbSaQgGSWn-tu8HTQWIoBuAlTyWcyiWX7U6g1g_Qsf1RaTZvWk-BzQSOB2tZ_HUWAur6kHI5o0d4Qd6A7AjG-rmQS0ba1dakN8=&c=mndKHs7XUycbNDnPB-RizOy11qufTK0Uh6OVHgEIYDMNesF_Y9kMLg==&ch=ERf5TZezozO3ryUyGzgajD8ATjmdn7WoBYJio4Vui_oB_3usPTJLRg==
  5. I think you should have seen him one or two panels down. The guy with all the beers... http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=16740&d=1584804198
  6. Unretired - yes, pity the poor bastards.
  7. Too bad Croc can't run Spa. But, Jeff Bezos can, and in something even less aerodynamic than a Seven. All this home time is tough. https://www.automobilemag.com/news/watch-amazon-box-lap-spa-track-f1/?wc_mid=4035:18748&wc_rid=4035:1020365&_wcsid=DAFE201C232D256719B31E6DC7785DA4718DB7BAB2EE5560
  8. USAC...now there's one we haven't heard in a while. Thanks for the info.
  9. Who needs a broom stick? This is the kind of thing that is all too common on Sevens. Picture is not of a guilty Seven owner.
  10. Wow. Heat insulation. That must be nice. (86-89 Birkin)
  11. Nice to see you have tidied the place up since the last photo. Now about that beer stockpile...
  12. I'm waiting for the photo.
  13. Love it. As we are preached to save resources, recycle, etc, now every store seems to print a receipt that is 2 feet long.
  14. Figures that Croc would be the with potty humor. Xcarguy got me thinking...I'm going to try better beers and see if I can build up a resistance to Corona.
  15. "...Covid Cone." Our dog is currently wearing the cone of shame after a minor procedure. I guess we will all match now when we take him for a walk.
  16. Looks like 1 & 2 are both good. Initially I liked 2 better. Then, with small images I played both at the same time. Great feature of the web site. The water on 1 may be part of the reason 2 looks so much sharper, but 2 does really look better focused for near field, cockpit, bonnet, etc. The color saturation looks a lot better in #1. Have you tried a helmet cam?
  17. Is Vovchandr in the USA? Home of Extra Large, XXL, XXXL. You're lucky if anything comes in Medium. Never heard of Extra Medium. Does that mean really, really not Large?
  18. It always seems funny to see so many Sevens with low roll bars. Maybe it should be higher than one's head. Anyway, This photo of an early one came up. Certainly over the driver's head. "Over at My Hemmings, claton7 posted these photos his brother-in-law took of a hillclimb at Hershey in the early 1960s. He didn’t know much more about the photos, though, so all you vintage racing Sherlocks out there, get to work!"
  19. I'll bite. What car were these pipes in? RHD Seven? Never been a fan of gold colored cars. A bit off to the one side. A good motorcycle mechanic (BMW) once told be that the key to not bluing chrome exhaust pipes was to take it easy until you could build up a layer of carbon inside the pipe, so the exterior did not get too hot. Seems most old (boxer) BMW and Triumph riders failed on that account.
  20. Driven, It's all about the colors. Some days he/she wants a color to contrast with her/his outfit. Other days, it has to match. Even in green, there are just so many shades!
  21. Usually you can't see it. The smell is more dominant.
  22. You might also think about trimming off some of the excess bolt length. I did so, not for the tires, but for using tire bonnets (straps) which caught on the bolts, between the tire and fender.
  23. Great stpry. We look forward to regular updates.
  24. Ha. Proper Subaru weather.
  25. Don't get me started...but I'll give one example. I've brought about 30 cars across, one way or another. Inspections? We brought in a Lambo Countach, through a familiar customs broker, on a temporary in-transit bond. The car was in Nuevo Laredo, and the wheels had been stolen while sitting in another customs broker's lot. I checked the junk yards, with no luck for the $4000 worth of wheels. Bought 4 Gran Marquis wheels and had the holes opened up to the metric size, roughly. With the bond arranged, the car went on a tiltbed and we headed to the bridge. Sat in the US Customs impound lot for about 6 hours. I hung around the truck and car till we were given the go ahead to leave. I thought we would have some deep search, as I could not imagine this looked like anything but a drug dealer's car, on black steeles. The lot is huge. No official ever came out within 100 yards of the car!
