Well things are progressing slowly right now. All the major work is done so I am relaxing now and getting ready for Boy Scout camp and vacation. It looks like we will have between ten and twenty 7's of all types here in KC Aug. 30,31 for the festivies. Registration for the Sunday car show is now open at http://www.kcallbritish.com/. I still have not figured how much the Saturday BBQ is going to be yet but it will probably be around $9 to $12 each. More on that later. Russ Amos

When was your last TDP shot???
-
That looks like a middy water cooled to me. Not a rear engine air cooled. I think it is nicely done to me. But I am not interested.

I don't know, after my little near disaster Wed. night I may never go out again. I came around a corner a little too fast and nearly t-boned a Mini. Squealing tires, steering wheel turned as far to the right as it could, and stopped about 4" from the drivers door. I could hear the driver say "WOW!" and he drove off. I about s*#t my pants. But the Se7en is safe. I was VERY lucky. I got to get some softer tires. Russ

Look at early 70's Ford Pinto and Mercury Capri 1600 after market parts, Russ

I used it to help plan the blat for the Midwest Se7ens Gathering coming up this August.

About 33 mpg at back road speeds. I only have a 1300cc xflow with a 1v carb, Russ -

Wow! Yours looks exactly like mine(although I have cycle fenders). Looks great. What part of the country are you? Russ
-
PITA is going to get you!
-
As Skip says you can also stop over here in KC at my place if you want. Now all you all you have to do is find some one in UTAH and you got it made, Russ
-
When you go through KC and you need something give me a call. Do you still have my number? Russ
-
Looks like a 2300 ford. But I'm no expert. It is definalty not a Kent xflow. Everything is on the wrong side. Russ
-
I think Julian D does it this was . Russ

I saw a real good looking lady one time driving down I29 in KC right after Missouri allowed vainity plates and her tag said "A1TAIL". I laughed so hard I nearly drove off the road. I doubt if you could get it past inspectors now days.

So that's how it is done. I would think insurance reg's in the USA would never allow some of the things these guy's are doing. With the car sitting on the track, the closeness of the track workers and spectators, and the other obsticles in the way. Looks cool. Memorizing how and where to go would be too much for this old man though
-
Also note the grinding. Ouch!!!!! That is wild. I don't exactly understand the moving back, centre, and forward position of the hand brake lever? Russ
-
I bought several items for my brake O/H for my Locost at Rockauto and they were very good to work with and low priced. Russ
-
Do they do special order tanks for Locosts??? Russ
-
Man,Southwind, that was cruel of them. I hate to see what they would have done for my xflow 1300cc with its wopping 58BHP. Russ
-
Very nice! Love the wheels. Is that all muffler under that guard? I love the sound. Russ
-
Busaloco those legs would never fit in my 7. Her knees would be touching her ................. er ah, chin! Thats it, chin. So far my fav is the Caterham emblem with the morning dew. Russ

Here is the current count of the group. Remember all that is on the list will not come to the event (I know of at least two). I would expect only 50 to 60% will actually come but I hope more will show up. Russ 2) Lotus 3) Caterham 5) Locosts 1) Birkin 1) Stalker 1) Ultralite 1) CMC 1) Dutton 9) Building cars 5) Unknown
