tio pancho

Any one interested in a gathering on Mara lake this summer. I've got camping room, lots of BBQ's and lakefront. I'm sure I can find few roads to run and there are wineries aplenty.

That mouse deserves to live.......

I put a Lotus badge on the nose of my scratch built seven replica as an homage to the seven and to Colin Chapman. When people ask I tell them the whole story of building it and of the seven in general. I can well afford a Caterham or any number of other exotics but I build things and I built my replica. It is a great satisfaction to blast down the road in a car that you built yourself, no apologies for the lotus badges.

Forgive me, but why?

Won't happen!

Where is the GBB, is there a blog going?

How do you wear out an ITB?

I'll be in Montreal for the next week, any one else going?

Buy a Real (quality) helmet; ONLY hunt around for price bargains not bargain brands.

Look in here:

http://www.motorcyclegear.com/

They often have unbelievably priced closeouts

Got a new Shoei there a few weeks ago.

auto helmets and bike helmets are very different don't cheap out. As we used to say in the sixties "ten dollar helmet for a ten dollar head".......

With latches and a strap you are in a classic "belt and suspenders" mode.

Safety First......

I used a leather strap on mine in conjunction with latches. I liked the look with the Brookland screens.

You are not being rude Steve, good on ya mate.

Some one is being rude but it is not you!

David

I don't think I'd like to risk my Harvard doing that!

Roger that!

Next summer, the 'Loops, (Kamloops), Hot, Dry, I'll try and put something together, keep you all posted. If any one in BC has something else going on let me know. If people want me to do this let me know......We can have a blast, that's a Blat with an S curve in it...............David

Feel a spring blat comin on, Alberta and BC sevens......look forward to more pics...

I'm thinking about hosting a get together in the "loops next summer, I'll keep you all posted. David

Thanks for the kind words guys.

p.s. curious about those wheels????

Stock Toyota, just painted. the drifter types call them "pizza cutters"

Very nice. I admit I'd be a bit nervous driving without a roll bar, though.

Old school or as David Hobbs would say I have large attachments:D

1hckb2, I'm in Kamloops and we've met. I'm Crystal's cousin.

The mirrors do work but the side one was added in a hurry for the inspector, it was a universal mount from a motorcycle shop.

I'll post some more pics and video in the spring..............

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

David

Oh and I've heard all the John Deere jokes

I see that I joined in 2007 and have two posts! I guess I was a little intimidated by all the "real" sevens and clones on here. But I can see that every one seems to be welcome so after getting on the road this fall I thought I would show off my pride and joy. Scratch built except for the fiberglass it is powered by a slightly modified Toyota 4AGE running Weber carbs. I think it probably puts out about 160 to 170HP and weighs 1275lbs. with half a tank of gas. Anyway here it is..................

Hey turboeric, I tried to send you a PM but it doesn't seem to work. Drop me line...
