" 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

You could have one made to look just like youur own: http://www.mycaterham.com/17619/4886.html

"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.

How did they get her hair to do that?

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.

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/

He could just as easily learn a Texas Accent. No offence to all Bubba persons reading. PC and what not. #presentcompanyexcepted

Jeez! Nothing for sale since 12/19? Well here's one from BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2008-lotus-2-eleven-roadster-3/

Cool lights. Now you'll need a Mini Battery Tender.

And after you paint it in Team Caterham colors, maybe you can get all kinds of matching gear at Speedgear, probably discounted too.

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

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

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

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

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

Good info in the links. Thanks for posting. -Mark

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.

"...Demon: look at the treadwear rating on the front tire!" Can't wait to see what Consumers Reports says about that!

What are the contact points for the lift? What are the arms coming out to the tires? Is it a motorcycle lift? Did you get something to lift the rear too?

Anyone ever been to this event? Looks like fun, according to Hemmings article: https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2018/10/18/put-in-bay-sports-car-races-2018/?refer=news

Jeff, Welcome aboard. It will autocross very differently than the Miata. Slow inputs or you'll spend a lot of time sideways. Then you will see why the TV shows love the 7s. You can get very sideways and still catch it. Have fun. -Mark
