Well it is two months until the Midwest Se7ens Gathering. The dates are June 9-12, 2011. I hope everyone is done or almost done with their winter modifications. I for one have got a couple of more items on my “to do list” like install a new oil pump and build a cover for my open trailer. This gathering is going to be a lot of fun. Driving these twisty roads in northern Arkansas is the greatest. We are going to try to have two different groups on the blats. One that enjoys a spirited drive and one that likes a more relaxed drive. So if you have not signed up yet do so. You can do it by sending me or Julian D. a PM on this forum or an email. Also if you haven’t reserved your room or camping spot yet you need to do so soon because there are just a few spots left at the host hotel. If it is full you will have to get lodging 7 miles away in Harrison, Arkansas. Remember you do not have to have a Se7en to participate, just the desire to be with like minded friends and exchange ideas. We are looking forward to seeing all of you there. This WILL be the high point of your year.

That's fecking funny!!!

Wow that is one lucky pilot!!!!! Russ

Yeah I have used the motorcycleroads site before. Very helpful. Russ

Try this link to see the road (I hope it works) http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&ll=35.985959,-121.485658&spn=0.015661,0.027595&t=h&z=15

We just got back from a trip to California and drove from LA to SF on Hiway 1. Just past the Hearst Castle we saw a sign saying the road was closed ahead. Well in the Midwest when a road is closed they point you to a detour. Well they don't do that out west I guess. A guy on a BMW bike told us about a road at mm 18 called Nacimento-Fergerson Rd. (across from the Kirk Creek Campground) that would get us over to hiway 101 without having to drive 200 miles out of our way. Now that was a fun road but not for going fast. An unGodly amount of twists and turns. Up hills and down hills. Very tight!!!! It is only about 1 1/2 cars wide. If you get a chance to drive it do so. Google map it. Russ

That's sick!!!! But funny, thanks, Russ

Wow makes me wish I was young again. Reminds me of past exploits. Thanks Skip. Russ

Boy, that was a tear jerker!!! Thanks

Roadster (How and Especially Why a Mechanical Novice Built a Sports Car from a Kit) By Chris Goodrich. It is about building a Lotus 7 car. Russ

Tree Rats taste good when floured and fried in bacon grease!!

Tree Rats!!!!

Skip. I'm sorry but you never looked like a Cadallac person to me. All the other cars........ Yes! I had a Scirocco myself, a 1975, but that is another story in itself. Harry (Super Stalker) has an SX4 and he loves it. Tried to talk my wife into one and she said no way. Of course she never likes what I like. Russ

Yes you are my hero!!! Thanks Russ

OK, I give up. About a year ago I saw a post on one of the Se7en sites that showed how to disassemble a cheap 12v air compressor to make it lighter and more portable. I have searcher the archives and no luck finding it. Anybody remember where it was? I need it for my son’s high school robotics robot they are building. Thanks in advance, Russ

Oh my! I hope no one had Mexican food before doing that. The suspension looked totally bottomed out. Russ

There is a V6 Stalker for sale here in Kansas City. If you are interested his email is acc1947@hotmail.com. His name is Harry. Russ

I'll shoot to that!!!!! I'll check with the host hotel for the 2011 Midwest Se7ens Gathering to see if is OK to bring guns also. Teehee Russ

Skip you are bad!!!!!

I have the Mirrorforsevens mirror and I love it. Just make sure your window frame is 1/2" thick. It ONLY fits 1/2" thick frames. I had to cut the heck out of my frame to get it to fit. Russ
