  1. Just noticed that even the dolly has holes. Colin would be proud. All it needs now is a loose wheel. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14235&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1529872475
  2. Ron. Thaks for the video. Real World in sport cars is the best. -Mark
  3. Thought it was the store where your wedding registry was! :smilielol5: Now that is COLD! Wish I'd have thought of it.
  4. If you can stand ramps, Harbor Freight has aluminum 6' ramps for about $100 (set, with coupon). I use them with my tilt trailer because it has a bed all the way across and the approach angle won't work. U Haul will want to know what car is going on the trailer. I rented from them twice with the Birkin. I gave them the weight, dimensions of tire contact patches (inside and out, etc). They had to call HQ to get the OK, but finally did. They have 2 sizes of car haulers. Make sure the person you talk to is not thinking you want a tow-dolly. The only way to know if they will approve the mini van is to ask them.
  5. For those into all things Lotus. Gathering of John Player Special F1 cars. https://petrolicious.com/articles/this-is-the-biggest-ever-gathering-of-john-player-special-lotus-formula-1-cars?mc_cid=3da950874f&mc_eid=91a163d9d9
  6. " or possibly a new one I had not heard about." What!! Croc, the Guru has not heard of ?? I move we assign Croc the job of registrar of all cars Seven. (thought he already was) OK, mine is Birkin Chassis #410. Start the list. Mike
  7. You could have one made to look just like youur own: http://www.mycaterham.com/17619/4886.html
  8. "Travelling without my computer this morning." How can that be? Croc without a computer? No, I must have read it wrong. Is it possible that such a high tech, up to date, civilized man is in a location with no computer? Mind boggling. Back in the out-back? Climbing the Matterhorn? Unbelievable.
  9. You may want to also list on http://www.locostusa.com Some hearty soul might make a bit of a business with their home builders.
  10. While Croc is basking in his (well deserved) glory, there are cars of interest(?) on BAT: Caterham: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-caterham-super-seven-2/ Modified, ahem, Panoz AIV that could wake you up: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-panoz-custom-roadster/
  11. He could just as easily learn a Texas Accent. No offence to all Bubba persons reading. PC and what not. #presentcompanyexcepted
  12. Jeez! Nothing for sale since 12/19? Well here's one from BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2008-lotus-2-eleven-roadster-3/
  13. And after you paint it in Team Caterham colors, maybe you can get all kinds of matching gear at Speedgear, probably discounted too.
  14. Jim, Sweet. In my younger days I had an R75/5 (toaster) as my daily transport. Before I got the Seven, I thought about an airhead. But, being older, I went with the Birkin. You've got the best of both worlds. Congrats, Mark
  15. Now look what you started. Jim, you'll have to tell us a bit about the rest of your motor-pool. What is the hack attached to? Is the beige frame in back a very old BMW? What is under the cover? Pictures may tell be worth a thousand words, but they also have embedded questions. -Mark
  16. Mike, The list is excellent. I just keep trying to find one you missed. Probably any I see would fall into your screened-out group. The greenhouse on the Swiss car reminded me of something from late 1930s Europe. The front not so much. Lots of advantages to a coupe though. Keep up the good work. Mark
  17. Croc, Pretty sure I would have remembered this, if on the list before. It came up on the same Hemmings page as the 360R. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/caterham/super-7/2153527.html
  18. I don't remember seeing this on Croc's list. https://www.racingjunk.com/Lotus/183106473/1960-Lotus-Seven.html?category_id=&search=Lotus&quickSearch=1&np_offset=4&from=search#3 https://www.racingjunk.com/Vintage/183106459/1960-Lotus-7-Series-1-with-IRS.html?category_id=&search=Lotus&quickSearch=1&np_offset=11&from=search#1 OR something a bit different: https://www.racingjunk.com/Vintage/182936770/Mallock-Mk-11A-Sports-Racer-1971-SVRA-HSR-VRG-SCCA-NASA.html?category_id=&search=Lotus&quickSearch=1&np_offset=14&from=search#23
  19. Beautiful Cat on BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2013-caterham-seven/?utm_source=dailymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2018-11-28
  20. Series 3 on BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-lotus-seven-3/ And something the whole family can enjoy: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-lotus-elite-3/
  21. Good info in the links. Thanks for posting. -Mark
  22. Let that be a lesson to all of us. Never put latex house paint in the gas tank. Seriously, thank God for the filter. It looks like it did its job. Might want to scope the tank and/or run a couple tanks of fuel system cleaner.
  23. "...Demon: look at the treadwear rating on the front tire!" Can't wait to see what Consumers Reports says about that!
