Looks like it might work out ok without a reserve - already at $15,100 with 33 bids and 3 days to go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lotus-Super-Seven-Birkin-S3-Birkin-7-S3-Caterham-Lotus-super-7-/330772356029?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4d03919bbd

Out of Canada:

Skip, if it is like previous years, you get admission to the historic's and preferred parking with other Loti in a segregated lot close to the entrance. It is a good deal! I can't remember cost but I'm sure someone else will.

It is back on Netflix for streaming! Finally saw it Xmas night and it was worth the wait.

Thanks, but I sold it about a year ago! Hopefully the new owner is enjoying it as much as I did.

Jason, I'm pretty sure they were off an early 2000's standard Caterham. The snaps had not been installed so I was able to place them in the proper position on the half doors to match the ones on the Birkin. I bought them on ebay from an owner that never installed them on his car. With a Birkini top and the half doors installed I could drive year-round, but of course I live in the desert so than wouldn't be too hard even without these things!

I put a pair of Caterham half doors on my Birkin and they fit perfectly. http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd136/soareyes/DSCN3128.jpg

Thanks Skip! I'm 6' 3" so every extra inch helps. I had a copy of your article "Checking Out a Used Miata" with me whenever I went to test drive a car as it was very helpful. Here is the link to the article in case any other members are looking for a Miata: http://www.miata.net/faq/usedmx5.html

So I joined the club this weekend - bought a base 1992 in great shape with 94,000 miles. I can almost fit inside! http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd136/soareyes/CIMG0793.jpg

Looks great! Definitely unique without the hood bulge compared to other Stalkers.

Probably one of these cars returning from the dyno-tuning session yesterday: http://www.californiacaterhamclub.com/chat/showthread.php?p=13812#post13812

Cow Patties? That rings a bell. Oh yes, here are two photos from the PNW2007 tour that show Dion and Bill (with his old Birkin) trying to wash cow poop off their cars. Hopefully they learned their lesson and avoided the mess on this trip! http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd136/soareyes/DSCN2240.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd136/soareyes/DSCN2243.jpg

Bet you wish you had a Cool Shirt about now! But of course the required ice chest would leave no room for a passenger.

Here is some discussion about this Birkin on the California Caterham Club web site: http://www.californiacaterhamclub.com/chat/showthread.php?t=1721

All kidding aside, it is a Westfield, and a very nice one! Belongs to JohnCh. Edit: I realize now you were kidding too! When I had my Birkin, I had several people ask if it was a real Lotus 7, but nobody ever asked if it was a real Caterham.
