  1. Great ride! Do you pass the little red truck in Part 4? :)
  2. State Farm covers my '92 Caterham for 1/3 less than my Tacoma and 1/2 of my Acura. Same coverage. My homeowner's insurance is also through State Farm so that my help my cause. I'm also limited to 7500 miles per year ( actual mileage is closer to 750 yearly).
  3. Thanks for sharing and documenting for future reference.
  4. All the best for a quick and complete recovery. Don & Corky
  5. After extensive experimentation, I have come to the conclusion that the Seven inspires more confidence in the driver than in the passenger.
  6. Thanks for the great pics. Sorry I couldn't be there. Maybe next year.
  7. Four hours to bid. Don't know the reserve but it would be worth a shot for anyone interested http://cgi.ebay.com:80/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200220908707&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:MOTORS:1123
  8. British Car Show in Townsend, Tennessee. Always a good draw and a lot of fun. http://www.nashvillebritishcarclub.org/nbcc/2008/spring_time_in_the_smokies/2008_announcement.pdf
  9. :_deadhorse: Several years ago Virginia was deciding whether to alow it's citizens to carry handguns (must be concealed ) at the same time that Texas was voting to carry guns (cannot be concealed). Two different approaches to the same question. Texas Monthly magazine was interviewing people at random and asking them, if the law passed, whether they would start carrying a handgun. My favorite response was; "No! If someone wants to shoot me he can bring his own gun."
  10. Maybe it's time to stop trying to interpret what our "Forefathers" were thinking and just decide what's best. My humble opinoin: a handgun has no place in a civilized society. I, myself, am not a hunter or target or skeet shooter but I see no problem with it if with these sports are limited to sport rifles. Handguns are for shooting people. Let's join the rest of the civilized world and stop doing that.
  11. Your's might be reasonably priced but I bet it never leaks.
  12. Was trying to keep OE but................ I'll pull it apart, check the bore size and investigate my options.
  13. Anybody know of a source for Girling rebuild kits for brake master cylinder for my '92 Caterham? Can't believe the only alternative is to buy a complete new unit ($400) which is the dealer's sugestion. Caterham US doesn't list a kit in their on-line catalog. Don
  14. I Googled this book and it looks like a good one. Unfortunately, it's out of print. I'll put a search out on Ebay. Maybe one will show up. Don
  15. :willy: Does anyone know of a cross reference guide for Seven parts? So many are borrowed from other Brit cars it would seem that someone would have put together such a list. Don
  16. Thanks for starting one of the most entertaining threads of the year. I'm always looking for new ways to handle these offers. Love the drain hair. Hmmmm, maybe now I have a use for all that bellybutton lint I've been saving.
  17. Anyone know of a source for the front turn signal (repeater) units for the Caterham front wings or if they're interchangeable with any other car? Mine's a "92.:willy: :willy:
  18. I going to try to make it. Mazda, you can have a go with my tow car if you like, If you think you can handle 210 Japanese horses. Of course, the center of gravity would be a little higher than you're used to. Don
  19. Sorry Mazda. That was cruel.
  20. Went for a blat myself yesterday (mine's in one piece ) Don

    For what it's worth, I found this on a local British car club site http://www.englishautosociety.com/articles.html The creator of my engine (1700 x-flow, blueprinted, balanced, roller rockers) said to use standard oil for break-in and then NOTHING BUT Mobil One 20w50.
  22. $25K was the BIN price. The reserve could have been anwhere between $18K & $25.5K. David is right, even 20K would probably be optimistic considering the equipment. With winter coming, maybe if some ruggedly handsome guy who lived nearby would go by and offer him $16K cash he might be tempted.
  23. Looks like a pretty good deal on a Twin cam Caterham. Only 9 hours as of this post. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=230198802471&rd=1
  24. Actuall, Townsend is about 1/2 hour SE of the auto-x site which was in Maryville. Don
  25. This is a prety big deal here-a-bouts. Assuming there is no USA7 sponsored stuff going on, I plan to attend. Townsend, TN. is about an hour away from the location of the 777 gettogether last July. Lots of opportunities for mountain cruises. Something to consider. http://clubs.hemmings.com/frameset.cfm?club=blountbc (click on "EVENTS) Don
