It was a complete car but if you put the old next to the new you would swear they were different cars. Russ

My wife just tolerates it. My 17yr old daughter and 14yr old son think it is an embarament and don't like it at all even though their friends think it is cool. Russ

I think Brent is volunteering??????????????????????????????????????? Russ

No No NO. Not me. I just was mentioning Door County would be nice. I'm having enough trouble organizing the Kansas one. Which, by the way, may turn out to be a more midwest (Ks, Mo, Neb, Iowa, Ark) instead. Russ ps: I would love to have an excuse to take my car up to the Door.

Any Se7en guys in the Boston area? I am being forced to go there to look at colleges for my daughter who is a HS senior this year. I'll have some free time to meet with you and BS. We'll be there 28-30th Sept, Russ

I was out last nite and saw over 40 of those tasty ones. Max speed of 25MPH so not a problem. They were in a city park. Wish I had my bow with me but they are not in season yet. They are a major problem here in east Kansas. Almost need a Roo guard on the Locost. Russ

Look at Julian D's locost on Yahoo http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Locost_North_America/photos/browse/9eca. It is the best of both worlds. 240z donor in a locost. Looks like a Se7en on steroids. Russ

I don't know, but he is probably pushing up daisys. RIP. Looks like Washington or Oregon by the vegitation (large ferns). Russ

Oops. The Fayetteville show is Sept 14 & 15. Russ

There are a couple of events coming up here in the Midwest. They are the Kansas City All British Car Show on Sep 1st and 2nd and the Brits in the Ozarks Show in Fayetteville, Ark. on Sep 8th and 9th. My British made Locost will be on display at both of these shows along with hopefully some other Midwest Se7ens. Please drop by and say hi, or better yet, bring your Se7en and display it alongside mine, finished or not. I will be happy to talk to all who want to listen about all the joys (and troubles) of owning these cars. I plan on using these shows as a dry run for the “2008 Midwest Se7en Gathering” some time next summer. Drop me a line if you are planning to come and I’ll keep an eye out for you. The web sites for these events are: http://kcallbritish.tripod.com and http://www.britishironnwa.org/show07.html . SEE YOU THERE! Russ Amos

I've been there also. Highly recommend it. Also while you are there go to Mesa Verde and Cortez. Cortez has some of the nicest people in the world. Russ

I have some questions involving trailers. I am using E track for tiedowns and I installed them along the length of the trailer. I noticed on the group buy trailer the E track was installed ACROSS the width of the trailer. Which is proper? Does it make any difference? Also my trailer is only 153" long inside and the car is 129" long so I don't have much room fore and aft to run the tie downs to the track. I was wondering if I could tie toward the center of the car as opposed to tieing away from the car. Thanks Russ

Bummer! When does he go to work??? Russ

See Kansas. Wisconsin (Door County) would be nice. We have a cabin ringh on Lake Michigan so a nice swimming beach is available along with lots nice roads. Russ

I could do it unless someone else wants to. I live in the Kansas City area so that is actually in two areas. Plan on having my locost and possibly another at the KC All British show and the Fayetteville, Ark shows in September. Both would make great venues for a show or we could go it on our own, Russ

BA is 1600cc . Assembly was started on Dec 31 1978 by Tom Seacrest, after 8 pints of Guiness, and finished on Jan19, 1979 after he got out of the hospital after suffering a one car accident on the M1 early on the 1 of Jan. Just kidding but a BA is 1600. Russ

I was told that my Locost came over in a container with a bunch of others. Maybe they are related. Mines RHD though. It is definatly a crossflow. I have a Haynes manual and could find out the size for you if you wish. It looks like a 1600. Is it a 4spd? The BH looks small like it has a Sierra trams. My 1300 has a 4spd but the BH it huge. Russ

Al , your quote about happiness would make a great bumper sticker for our cars. Too bad we don't have bumpers, Russ
