Xflow7 if will make you feel better it was 56deg and partly cloudy at 6am this morning here in KC. By 9:30am it is 24deg and heavy snow and it is suppose to get to 10deg tonight. I guess I should not have bragged about my sunny blat. Russ

Xflow7. Gee, are we a little touchy??? Cabin fever will do that to you. Try to think happy thoughts and breath deeply. and say Ahmmmmmmmmmmmm..............Remember there is a blat in your future after the glaciers receed, Russ

60deg and sunny here in KC. Just got back from a 2.5 hour Blat scoping out routes for the Midwest Se7ens Gathering. Found some twisties that ought to be fun to go on. Right now my Locost looks like a Baja Buggy with all the mud and road crap on it from all the melting snow around here. Oh well!!!

Boy that would be a pair to draw to. But I doubt they could afford both, Russ

Contact me via PM. I'll contact the other guy and see if he is still interested, Russ

not mine but sounds like a good price. http://kansascity.craigslist.org/mcy/541646959.html

On that site also. Still have it but one guy has express interest in it. But he has not commited to it yet. If you are interested I'll put you second in the order. Frt estimate to Dallas area was $100-125 to a business address so you will have an idea how much additional it would be. Russ

I know Julian and he does drive his Se7en. It is nothing for him to go on a 300 to 400 trip on a weekend. He really puts the miles on it. Plus it goes like stink! And sounds like no other. Russ

Heck my Xflow started out new at 58hp (1979 1300cc). With age and the altitude I should be in negitive HP by the summit Russ

That's my daughter's High School graduation weekend. Choices, choices, choices.............................!

My picks in order of fun: Colorado (just about anywhere except Denver, too crowded); Fayetteville, Ark/Branson, Mo area; or Door County, Wisconsin (NNE of Green Bay) area although no tracks close by on the last two. Assuming some people trailer to the starting site, what do they do with the trailer and tow vehicle while they are out for those 3 to 5 days? Russ

Hmmmmmmm. 754 mile road trip for me. It would be interesting! Russ

Welcome to the mad house, Silk. Just pour a quart on 30 weight on the garage floor under the Stalker and you will feel right at home!

I got a nice "Age and Treachery Racing Team" jacket (my car club) from my 7 and 7 got a new Union Jack emblem to fit in the nose from me. EviLRomeO, I'll trade you my high maintainence 17yr old daughter for your G/F. She can't be any worse. Don't forget she starts college next year. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Russ

Ain't going to happen in KC 3" of fresh powder over solid ice. Bummer. But took the quad out for some quick doughnuts. That was fun! Russ

Gbolt, Come to the Midwest Se7ens Gathering over Labor Day weekend in Kansas City and you can. My Locost got me a gift and I got her one too. Merry, Merry, Happy, Happy to all you 7 lovers. Russ Amos

For those Bigheads look at Reid Tool or McMaster-Carr. I think they have something similar but not under that name, Russ

Good Luck! I tried for a year to find one I could afford. Gave up and now going to put a Suzuki 1300cc Swift engine and Samurai trans in. I'll pm you , Russ

F/S T9 5 speed with propshaft, pressure plate, disk, and bellhousing. From a Mercury Merkur. $200 I bought it to use on my Locost but I am going a different route now and I don't need. Russ Amos in Kansas City

Boy, now that sounds like a great idea, Russ

Slomove, we in the REAL states hate you. Russ

Fayettville, Ark(NW Arkansas). has plenty of great roads. It is the hot spot for all the car and M/C clubs to go. Russ

Good work guys. Yes the Labor Day weekend Midwest Se7ens meet here in KC is a go. Se7ens will be the "Featured Marquee" for the KC All British Car Show. There will be awards for the best three origional 7's and awards for the best three clones. That way no feathers get ruffled. If enough sign up I will have awards for a separate Locost vs Factory clone. So far 6 have said "yes I will come" of which 5 have finished cars and two of those are origionals. 9 said "maybe I will come" of which 4 of those have finished cars. Not bad for the first notice. I have posted on 6 sites and am looking for others. There are still several others that have not responded yet. The "7" , being the Featured Marquee, will be on the tee shirts and all the class awards. There will be activities on Saturday Including a cookout at my house for the 7's and the show on Sunday. If anybody is interested PLEASE contact me, Russ Amos

Here are some pic's of a glove box I made to fit in the passenger foot well of my Locost: http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Locost_North_America/photos/view/3ce3?b=9 http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Locost_North_America/photos/view/3ce3?b=11

My oil pressure hole on my 1300cc kent is lower rt front. I have had a lot of luck getting parts for it by telling auto places to look up early 70's Ford pinto or Mercury Capri 1600cc. I'm going to pull out the Xflow lump and trans and replace it with a Suzuki Swift GTi 1300cc twin cam and Samuri trans because I am tired of trying to find Xflow parts. It is a shame because they are good engines. Russ
