Try the British site www.locostbuilders.co.uk. They have been doing paddle shifters for a long time. Russ

Yes, it was a great event. No major problems except for loosing Hempy and Julian on the blat. But we finally caught up with them at lunch. The 2009 National in Branson promises to be 10 times the fun as this event was, so put it on your date books now. Russ

I'll take them. Contact me OL and tell me where to send money. Russ

I took a couple of days off to recoup after the Midwest Se7ens Gathering. And that is why I have not answered any of your wonderful emails and posts. Putting on this event was THE highlight of my Se7en ownership. It was a lot of hard work but it was worth every hour that I put into it. Meeting all of you great people, going on our spirited blat, the BBQ, and the car show were all too great to describe. I feel like I have 30 new, and very close, friends. I hope to see some of you again before the National Se7ens Meet in Branson in 2009 but if not I will see you there. They are going to need lots of volunteers to help organize and run it so please contact Al Navarro at usa7s.com to put your name in the hat. Also if you did not have a Se7en this year get off the damn computer and get out in the garage and get to work!!!!!! Russ “still tired” Amos ps: Cliff, I did sit down for 4 hours yesterday in my truck as I drove to Trenton, Mo.(2 hour drive each way) to start sitting up for our motorcycle trials on Sep20-21.

Holy high wire act, Batman. Screwed up a perfectly good airplane, though. Russ

WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP COMING UP WITH THESE GOOD DEALS WHEN I AIN'T GOT THE MONEY OR ROOM TO PUT IT! Russ

Personally I would do gloss black with black wheels for a 7 that hot, Russ

Pi7ot, if you are interested in the Midwest Se7ens Gathering I need to send you some emails. Please contact me at trialsman@kc.rr.com, Russ

Well it is three weeks till the Midwest Se7ens Gathering here in Kansas City on Aug 29-30. We have eleven Se7ens that have said they are coming plus several others who do not have cars ready yet. So it is still not too late to get on the bandwagon. The famous (or infamous) Jack McCornack with Kinetic Aerospace will be there to talk about his X-prize diesel powered Se7en (Sorry his car will not be there. Still being rebuilt after his accident). There will be all types of Se7ens to look at and maybe even getting a ride in. So plan on being in KC. Festivities start Friday 8/29 with free drinks and socializing at my house in Shawnee 7-10pm. Then Saturday 8/30 a breakfast (pay as you go) at Sharpes Restaurant in KC 7:45-10am. From there we start our Blat at KCI airport approx. 10:30am till about 2pm, with a stop over in Weston, Mo for a pay as you go lunch. After that we have a BBQ at my house in Shawnee BYOB. 4pm-??? Still working on a price but it won't be much. More on that later. And then the crowning jewel on Sunday 8/31 The Kansas City All British Car Show at KCI Marriott. The Se7en will be the featured marque of the show. 8-10:30 Registration, 10:30-noon Voting, 1pm Motorcycle Observed Trials Riding Demo, 3pm Awards presentation. So if you are interested in coming and you are not on my mailing list please contact me at trialsman@kc.rr.com. Thanks Russ

Man, I just drove across I-80 in Iowa yesterday on my way back from Wisconsin. Can you make the Midwest Se7en Gathering in KC Aug 30-31????? Love to have you if you can. Where are you? Russ

Well it is about 45 days till the Midwest Se7ens Gathering here in Kansas City and almost all the planning and ground work is done. Awards are finished and the BBQ is almost finished planning. All I need is a final count of attendees. Right now I have the following signed up as a “YES” to coming: (2) Stalkers, (2) Locosts, (1) Lotus 7, (1) Dutton, and (3) without cars. There are (8) other cars that have said “MAYBE”. So there is still a lot of room for more Se7eners. You don’t need to have a Se7en to attend. Just a love of the cars. So, if you have thought about coming now is the time to plan it. I need to have a final count of attendees by August 6. So please contact me at trialsman@kc.rr.com. Hope to see you there, Russ Amos

You are terrible!!!!!

Robert, the XR4TI makes a great donor. Just find a wall to run into, and say " Honey, I wrecked the car today" . Russ

Actually the easiest build is to buy your first one already built. there are several drivers for sale right now. They are never really finished so you can start with a working car and improve it and gain experience from there. Once you gain that knowlege you can tackle a kit or Locost. Russ
