Just got back from a short blat in the Locost. I was scouting out twisties to drive on. Does anybody have any desire for a Midwest Locost gathering in the Kansas City area late this summer or in the fall?? I will organize it if there are enough interested people. There are lots of things to do and see around KC. Would you like short or long trips in your car? Organized or self guided drives? One suggestion is the Labor Day weekend All British Car Show http://kcallbritish.tripod.com/ that we could do. The second weekend is the British car show in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and the third weekend of September is out for me. August is a killer because of the heat and July and June are too close. So what do you think?? Let me know if you are interested and what you would like to do. Russ

Another thing is to use curved ramps. The type used for lawn tractors. They are a little more $$ but it will solve any bottoming out problems. Russ

I use 6 footers. My trailer is 20" high to the deck, so it is a little higher than most, Russ

Nope . http://www.licenseplates.tv/prod/britainuk_euro_front_2034.html#lpgen

Oops. Just saw your other post. Nice Locost. Too bad your on the other side of the country.

Tell us something about it. I notice your steering wheel is on the proper side. So is mine. Mine is a Locost made in the UK. Is it a locost or a real 7? looks like a real one, Russ

I did not use the frame. I guess I'm too cheap. Russ

Here is where mine go. Out of site. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/954072164_P4180199.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/706848612_P4180201.JPG

Kans"ass" does not require a front plate, Missouri does. This is one time I am glad I moved over here, Russ

Just came in the mail today. I'm sure I am not the first. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1251340399_P5030018.JPG

I did it but I don't know if it went thur. Site is acting strange. How do you tell if it worked???

What trucks?????? On kayaks look at Gillemot kayaks website. Wish this &^&% rain would let up. Russ

All I can say is WOW! Oh and nice scenery too. Russ

One of my many other interests. This one is made of redwood, cedar, walnut, pine, and ash: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/522156403_P1010153.JPG

Thanks Andrew7, Russ

If you get a flat bed, look at these . I am think very hard about it. They will custom make it for any trailer, Russ http://www.snocapstrailer.com/

I'm in , Russ

I ate them. They were good, especially with milk. Thanks for asking, Russ

I thought I had it figured out but I think my files are too large and my teenagers have gone to sleep and I won't be back till Sunday. Crap!

Here are some pic's of my footrest/glove box for my car: http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Locost_North_America/photos/browse/3ce3

Got some lift off stainless hinges from McMaster Carr. Right and left sets. I think they were less than $20 total. going to weld up a frame like this guy's. www.groovy42.freeserve.co.uk Also doing his top and already have his boot box and a foot rest/glove box similar to his. He has done some cool things, Russ

I haven't got this excited sence I had a Playboy subscription. Nice! Sometimes I wish I had bought a bike engine instead of a Miata to put in my car. Russ

How do they work?? I don't see a hinge. I am working on some full doors for mine and will hinge them off the upright. Haven't figured a way to latch them yet. Also working on a bikini top, Russ

there is more grinding going on there than a high school prom. Bet they could make a cheaper busa V8.Would have been nice to see it operational, Russ

Don't forget to seal the gap around the perimiter of the rad and nose cone. It made all the difference on mine. Russ
