Croc, What is one to do with all the time saved, since you have divided "New" and "Repeats"? Anyway, keep up the good work. ps. Bit tricky telling UKChris you don't bite. I figured you're only called Croc for having Gnarly teeth and a nasty bite.

I totally get it. The composition is an invisible picture, an invisible brochure and an invisible poster on a glass table, on a clear swimming pool with a white bottom. Brilliant!

OK. Now you have the spanner right. What is the project? Adjusting the doors on a Spyker? From the looks of the garage, you may need assistance. Offer a couple pints and I bet the lads will show up.

Wow. Looks like SE US is closer to Dallas than anyting SW. I'm in.

Bob, I noticed that all your meets include Mr. Paul's 32 Ford. My first car was a 32 or 33 roadster hot rod, with '51 Mercury V-8. Wish I had it back. It's nice to see a hot rod in with the sport-car crowd. Pretty much the same thing to me.

Glad I read it. Nothing new to us, EXCEPT, I didn't know they had a mobel specific tracking page of auction results. 2017 doesn't look so bad. This chart tracks BaT Auctions sales results for Lotus and Caterham Sevens and Super Sevens, as found on our BaT Model Page here. https://bringatrailer.com/lotus/seven/

Thanks for posting.

Mike, I was only asking about the proportions because I'v never seen the Croc in person. Let me know your our less exotic travels bring you to Texas, preferably north east, it's big you know. Merry Christmas, or whatever is appropriate. Mark

"...of Croc-like proportions" Oh sure. You talk like that about him when you know he's travelling. To which proportions might you refer? The huge toothy mouth, or the stubby arms, or the bulging eye balls...?

And yet, no one has mentioned the Lotus on BAT. Hurry, check the history. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1960-lotus-seven/

I don't understand all the comments about the mud flaps. Those are standard issue on pickups, here in Texas. They come that way from the dealer unless you check a "delete" box, but you don't get a credit for that. However, looks like he took the gun rack off the roll bar.

I do not know if these are buried in Croc's list. 5 Caterhams at a Shelby dealer. http://www.hillbankusa.com/cars-browser?make=All&body-style=All&price[min]=0&price[max]=550000&field_special_tag_value_1=All&sort_by=created&sort_order=ASC&items_per_page=12

http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13670&stc=1&d=1512927197 Croc, Thanks. Just what we need in Texas. Maybe trade for the Birkin? Load up a hay bale. Register it as a Farm Truck!

Blessed are the Texans, for we have low taxes. I once registered a client's personal cars in Texas, because of the high California taxes. On his Suburban we saved $900 and $3,000 on the F-40. On your other point about the vagaries of which office/clerk one gets, I could not agree more. Good or bad. Patience is the most essential attribute one needs. Just leave their office, do what they wanted, and go back. Or, leave that office and go to another one. Just keep plugging away. Don't forget, while all this is going on, in Texas we can get a 30 day paper tag for like $25. There is now a limit of 3 such registrations per car in a year, but it can keep one on the road while going through the BS. By the way, Does "NVP" stand for No Viable Papers?

Holy Carp! Does one chain run all the way from the trans to the diff? That's a lot of chain. Better check with the insane bikers for the bst cahin in the world. Or, is there an idler in between. Looks like fast fun.

No, Rich, I want the half-hood, if it will fit an early Borkin (very series 3, dimensionally.

OK, before Croc gets the big head, let's just agree that we love this thread. And what about the millions (or hundreds?) aspiring to have a Seven? If a poor ignorant soul reads the sticker on the back of my roll bar "USA7s.com", they may well go to the web site and surely this thread will be of immediate interest. Links to cheap ones, or wonderful ones like the Series 2 in Classiccars.com might be enough to sink the hook. Great educational (addictive?) value for the multitudes. Can I get an Amen?

"Aside from the goofy VW taillights, this appears to be a very well sorted car." Only people of "a certain age" would catch that. A son drove one until about a year ago. Amazing how many people did NOT know anything about it. Even more amazing is that it was actually hard to find a mechanic (Glass Cars in Dallas) who knew how to work on them. Back in the day, every wrench knew them. At least those are early to mid 60s tail lights, not newer. Also German, not Lucas!!

Well, I did find these humble offerings. Starting with one for those with deeper pockets than YH&OS: https://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nsh/5195301129.html OK, it's not a Seven, but too cool to not pass on. Dutton still in KS. https://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/d/1978-dutton/6301095578.html Birken still listed in Houston: https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d/2005-birkin-s3-not-lotus-7/6289835664.html Croc has listed this one before, with discussion about air filers. Aren't screens enough to keep rocks out? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/westfield-pre-lit-lotus-7/6256940016.html Let's hope Croc gets his search thingy going again.

Maybe I can beat Croc to this one. On Saturday Morning list? BAT Ztec Birkin: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-birkin-lotus-7-s3/?utm_source=dailymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2017-09-22

Jeez, Louise. No one has welcomed Croc back, with his market mining. He even got up early enough to work before the GP! Good job. A whole 12 hours and no one has any pithy comments. All gone to Granny's house for the holiday?

Two days left on BAT. Probably known in this group. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-caterham-superlight/ http://13252-presscdn-0-94.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/599322ac4703a_IMG_1823-940x598.jpg

Since our esteemed Croc O'Dial is not around, maybe you didn't see that a Westfield is ending an auction on BAT tomorrow. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1996-westfield-spa/?utm_source=dailymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2017-08-15 http://13252-presscdn-0-94.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Screen-Shot-2017-08-08-at-3.12.07-PM-940x636.png

Dam (not a cuss word), you beat me again. Maybe I should not look at anything you don's post. But, where's the fun in that?

Don't recall seeing this one. Red racer. https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6177111801.html
