The upgrade was recommended to me by the Quicksilver folks if I plan to run at high RPMs. I think I will go with it as "insurance".

Thanks for the link. Had not found it.

Normally the decision to buy a sports car is reinforced by the drive home. The sound of the engine, the feel of the road, stares and waves from strangers. Minutes after parking you return to your garage for one last glimpse. The next morning you wake up, pinch yourself and ask "Do I really own that car!?!" Not true when buying a Seven kit. You walk around guilty, avoiding looks from your family that suggest you spent too much on yourself. You experience buyers remorse before you've even sat in the car. You find yourself surfing the web for torgue wrenches and 41mm sockets to pass the time. You wonder if you should join YALOO...yet another lotus owners organization. You begin reading about polishing metal. :leaving: The wait is on. :cheers:

Elise owner in Maryland. Age 41. I blame the Elise for getting me into this Seven thing. Already met a handful of folks from the board, and everyone has been helpful. Ordered a Seven from Caterham this week. She'll be a weekend road car, not primarily for tracking. Hope to keep this car for a number of years. Still undecided on a couple of features. Will post again when I have a build date. Plan to assemble the car myself in my garage, shooting for 4th of July 2008. Not much of a mechanic, but I have been studying the manual. Wish me luck. Sevens rock. Cheers! --Harold :flag:

Come on people! We need video here!!!

Hello all! Thanks again to those who have welcomed me into this quirky fold. After spending four hours following three sevens (oh, and yeah sixty some odd Porsche) around western Maryland last weekend I feel compelled to scribe an introduction. As many of you know, I do not have a seven...yet. I'm a 41 yo software developer in Maryland with a passion for cars, and Lotus in particular. Having spent several weekends as a kid at Sebring and Daytona (IMSA 24 hours and Nascar), I come from a racing background. A spectator's, that is. But I love cars so much that my folks swear my first word was "CAR". After discovering the Lotus Elise in 2005, I figured I had reached the height of open-top sportscar ownership excitement, at least as far as my budget would take me. Then something hit me... My current "life goal" is to place an order in 2007 for a Seven and build it in 2008. Thanks again to those who have allowed me to sit in a ride in your car. Look in your mirror, I'm right behind you. --Harold :flag:

Thanks everybody! Pleasure meeting everyone and seeing the Sevens!!! If anyone has a link to photos from the day, please cross post the link. With 70+ cars, there must be a bunch of posters somewhere. --Harold

Cheeky. :hurray:

1) Can somebody please post the Google Maps link for the starting point? 2) What time? C-ya!

Pretty sure I can make it, if you don't mind an Elise tagging along. Thanks! :cheers:
