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

Jerry I sent your link to the President of Mill Creek Rifle Club (Chris Hodgdon) to see if he is interested. Looks like you're going to have fun. Russ

That was wild. Those guys went nutso! Russ

Welcome to the good ol' USA. In 9-12 June, 2011 there is going to be the 4th annual Midwest Se7ens Gathering in Harrison, Arkansas. We would be pleased to have you there. See the LocostUSA site for details. Russ

OMG I would hate to have her for a wife!!! I would not be able to keep tires on her cars. Wow!!!

Looks like there is a message on the Yahoo Locost site. Russ

Man!!!!! I think a lot of kids could use a little bit of that leather now days. Russ

$25!!!!! Ouch. Now I wish I had not thrown out all my old magazines. I'd be rich. Russ

Linky not working, Russ

Wow, I love the Se7en with the tear drop trailer. Russ

My red line is only 5800 but I have heard it can go higher. Russ

All Kents (711m block) are hard to find in the States thanks to the Formula Ford guys. The 1.3 and 1.6 are the same except the 1.3 is about 1" shorter in deck height. Conn rods are shorter. They are the same bore, same head (smaller valves). I know this because I probably have the only 1.3 Kent in the US in my Locost. The nice thing about Kent's is that they are a lot shorter in height that a DOHC motor. The only motor that I have found that compares to my 1.3 in height is the Suzuki Swift GTi 1.3 DOHC motor and it is getting just as rare. The Fiesta motor is a Kent but most were not drilled on one side for a motor mount. They can be drilled because a lot of FF drivers have done it. Also the crank on the Fiesta was not bored for the throw out bearing so that would have to be drilled also. ALL Kents are strong motors but not very high reving in stock form. They can get higher revs after doing some tweeking. The Brits refer to them as "Lumps" and that they are. If you have choices, use a Zetec, 4AGE, or other modern lighter engines. Kent's are old school but I love mine. Russ

26deg tomorrow here. I'll have about 30 motorcycle trials riders here at my house for my 17th annual Postage Stamp Trials. So no blats for me. Russ

Or if you really want a long drive come to the Midwest Se7ens Gathering in Harrison , Arkansas June 9-12. Russ

ThunderDawg, Harry here in KC has a Stalker for sale although it is not a Super Stalker. He can be reached at acc1947@hotmail.com.
