  1. A FV should have a reverse. I don't really know, but they just ran a VW tranaxle, so why not? Check out the Lotus streetable F Ford for inspiration, lights, etc.. Lotus 51R. I know a guy that used to drive a F Junior on street.

  2. Attention! Even readers not looking for a cage must follow the locost link. Scroll down. The photo of the Mallock is worth the trip. Catching air on a real road is proof one is really in the Red Mist.
  3. New on BAT https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-caterham-caterham-seven-super-sprint/?utm_source=dailymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2019-12-19
  4. I'm afraid the pup might blow off in a Seven. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=16261&stc=1&d=1576428216
  5. "I especially liked that Alan Olson's V12 Aston DB9 was parked next to Bob Steinhagen 's V12 Ferrari F550. A beautiful pair of cars!" YES. Long live the V-12!
  6. Again with the RHD bashing? Guys, it really is no big deal.
  7. We have read about these Michelins for years, but now they are in real use. I watched a municipal mower yesterday and he was banging over curbs, with ease. The airless tire worked great. Maybe not ready for a Seven, but it would be nice to never have a flat on a trailer. https://www.deere.com/en/landscaping-grounds-care/tweel/
  8. BWTM. One year at the Carrera Panamericana, a beautiful (German team) 300SL roadster showed up with just a single driver side roll bar. Tech rejected it and informed them that they needed a 6 point cage. They went to a muffler shop and had one fabbed of exhaust pipe. Their further disregard for sanity was shown on a top speed stage where the navigator unstrapped so he could get completely out of the wind stream (small aero screens). PS Back in the day, there are countless photos of Jim Clark et al with helmets higher than the roll bar.
  9. Not a Lotus, but interesting american special. I think Croc turned this up quite a while back. New, improved price. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/lotus/6/1791550.html?refer=news&utm_source=edaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2019-12-04
  10. Nice to see it parked next to Charlie Barnes's McLaren. Charlie was instrumental in making me a sportcar nut. He raced a little Merlyn sports-racer and played lead back and forth with Ken Miles in GT350 R002. It was the first race for a GT350, at Green Valley Raceway. Miles would blast by on the front straight and Charlie would repass him on the back section. Great fun. I hope he is doing well. Haven't seen him in a couple years.
  11. There is also a 3x5' banner for those with garage wall space undecorated.
  12. Not just Thanksgiving. It's like an early Christmas.
  13. Everyone knows that time is a human construct. Daylight Savings does NOT save any daylight. So, show of hands, who is OK with Croc doing the list a 7:00 PM EST, which would be 7:00 AM where he will be, by his calculations. Of course, if we allow for him drinking a bathtub of gin the night before, we could let him sleep in till 9:00 his time.
  14. Welcome. With that assortment of motor bikes, a Seven was all you needed to add.
  15. Don't get too excited. Roger Kraus is the company, but there is a good chance that you will talk to his son. Imagine, not only a human answering a call with no computer interface or menu options. And an actual son of an actual person whose name is on the door. Remember, you're dealing with a sort of old-school car, so why not an old school tire company?
  16. I shutter (in gravity) to think what that PR blurb cost to make.
  17. Wow, Blue DBA. We can be so concise, compared to the more reptilian persons.
  18. It is a short list for 2 ugliest cars? Tie with Fiat Multipla.
  19. I agree that the Cherokee led to the SUV craze. I don't care. My 2 favorites made the list. I only have a Seven because I realized that I will never be able to afford a 289 Shelby Cobra or an AC 289 Sport, coil spring (best of the line). I think many of the other suggestions are worthy, but we have surpassed the 100 limit. Can't believe they had a R5 (leCar), but not an R5 Turbo. Drove one right after a 308, and the Renault was so much better. As per the usual, Croc started it.
  20. All the Nth degree things. Sometimes you know, sometimes not. A friend was big into turbo charging engines and started to have his intakes, ports, etc. honed with an abrasive slurry (forget the name of the process). Conventional wisdom was that this is a waste of time, since the turbo will push as hard as needed or tolerable, but in the end it did yield HP. PS: Ferrari boxer engines.
  21. And, if ordering a trailer. it is usually easy to specify the same bolt pattern as the truck/car. That makes it easy to have 2 spare tires.
  22. If the tow vehicle is relatively light duty, one can always drive...slower. gasp. Look ahead. Good luck.
  23. That's got to be the highest standard Blakely . The S2 - What a great idea to put all the fuses, relays, etc. accessible, instead of rubbish under the dash. Surely I'm not the only one who can no longer crawl under a dash.
