Looks nice Robert!! :cooldude:

This looks to be Eric W's old car. He led the way on a group drive last year and I can say his car was pretty quick! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1965-Lotus-1998-Caterham-7_W0QQitemZ250555697051QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item3a5648879b#v4-36

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May you all have a safe and happy holiday season!! http://www.purearea.net/pb/pics/christmas_smiley.png

Duratec, IRS, carbon fiber, that's going to be nice! I like the wheels too!

Thanks Gary, it looks nice! I've been thinking of doing something similar with my trailer, but making the cover tiltable or removable altogether. I have a lot of other projects to do first so it'll probably be a while. I'll be interested to hear how it tows....

Hadn't noticed it before, but I think you're right!

Gary - How tall did you make it? Any photos?

At least it has the reconditioned 1256cc Vauxhall motor so the performance will match it's looks!

Congrats, that's going to be one awesome ride! :cheers:

That is a pretty impressive collection! The Cobra seems to be running original bias-ply tires and looks like it could use a little more width in the rear.....especially with a 427!

Now that's impressive Skip! :rofl:

Found this site with some interesting photos! http://permeldgaard.com/lotus/2007/09/pictures-from-hill-climb-in-gjern.html

Thanks Robert. Unfortunately with the crap they put on the roads the Birkin didn't get out of the driveway. One of these days I'd like to take it to an empty parking lot to see how it'd do in the snow! :driving:

Dale - I look forward to seeing your project as you move forward. And I have to agree with Dean. Here's a shot of the front:

Looks nice Al! Very similar to the wheel that was included with SB1096:

I picked up a Craftsman aluminum model on sale for $179 several years back. I like the way it works, but about 4 months past the wty it started leaking. So I tried to get a seal kit, but they would only sell you the whole cylinder assy for almost what the jack cost. I was not happy! So I took the cylinder apart and was able to match up the o-rings pretty close, put it back together with new jack oil, and it's been working fine for over 3 years now! I think the biggest thing is to not extend or release it too quickly and it should hold up better. It looks like this:

As provided by Gary K in the other thread: http://www.gmsr.info/pre2007/S1_Manual.pdf Lots of good Zetec/T9 info, even if you don't have a S1.

Well that looks like fun! I'm sure you've never done anything like that, right Gary???
