Mondo, yes you are correct.. even when your surrounded by the terrible roads we have in Michigan...lol

And for you Dyno chasers Chevy finally published a vid for the small block on the Dyno gotta love a Dyno on a gimble.

Not going for a hijack but if you like Vettes..and commercials. The teasers are out for the C7 http://www.chevrolet.com/one13thirteen.html Since this is out we can finally talk about it..alittle, LOL

It's a British made bed...the pan is leaking...

Amazing simply amazing....I really should take a writing course...love the first line...nuff said.

7evin, the only thing that should have been uncomfortable about your custom one should have been that they don't/didn't breath (sweat). I use to sell/install custom hearing protection so I kinda know what i'm talking about. I have a hard time wearing foam crushables they expansion gives me a headache after 30min or so. Foam ones give a db rating..IF THEY ARE PUT IN THE WAY THEY ARE DESIGNED! most people don't put them in as far as they are suppose to. I stopped selling because I didn't like the travel, people b!tching about price annndddd those seemed to be the people that didn't clean their ears....ever, yuck! The Earfuse one you have shown look like a good wind break and earbud holder but for best db reduction the stuff should to go in farther. (I couldn't find their db ratings) That being said, anything is better than nothing as long as its worn. ( if you install your own... we use to have your mouth open, about 1/4,1/2 inch or a Sharpie or clean finger, we used disposable foam blocks) seems to open the ear slightly so you can talk/yell and not have as much sound bypass. Did you call the company you bought your custom one from? they should do something to keep you happy. If that was sounding like a rant its not intended to. Cheers Tony

Optional rims on Caterhams in the "old" days, some books say 13x6 but on the rim says 13x5 1/2 I forgot to mention in my add that I when I was in Colorado I pcked up The "7" grill (NIB), a "SUPER SEVEN" valve cover(New no box)lol, new brakes (doesn't need brakes but i was there and they had them) includes frt disc/pads and rear drums/shoes, the aero screen (carbon fiber) also has the side mirrors (Carbon fiber) just haven't installed them, the center rear view (carbon fiber) you can see in the pics. and the wipers/motor is in a box, my knee hit the bolts and its not like it goes out in the rain. The front suspension has the wider lower A arms installed the originals come with it. Cheers Tony

BP, price lowered to $19,900 or reasonable offer Thanks Tony

If anyone wants other pics or info you can contact me at a.immers@yahoo.com We haven't been using it, and with two grandkids...they want to go at the same time so the icecream getter is my 67' jeepster that we've had since new. Its a 75 Cat that wasn't titled from the first owner. I titled it when I picked it up (90'), unlike some other "brand new" old cars. I could have titled it a 75 but I wanted it on the road quickly, I picked it up to have fun with my father that had the big "C" and didn't to do paperwork at that time. Thanks, Tony

First fifteen years that I owned it drove it to work and play, now with all the road constuction around here= stike one, first grandchild we went everywhere now he has a sister that goes with me also...so I take the 67'Jeepster Commando that we bought new, it has the extra seat. So usage has been slowing down the last five years, last two she kinda sat:( thats also why I just put it up on C/L. Can't stand to see her not getting exercised. BTW they both love the little car but taking one at a time just don't get it... When I drove it to work everyone used to stop and watch me get in and out, it was even better when I kept the top on. 6'2" and at the time 230lbs LOL now i'm up 10:( and yes I still fit LOL have fun in your search they are great fun i've had mine for 20yrs... Tony

I just looked at your ground clearance numbers... heck you almost have a dune buggy! I'm at 3 1/2 at the oil pan, 5 under butt, 3 3/4 under the rear suspension triangle...then I load my tiny self in (6'2" 245lbs) and the under butt number drops a little over an inch. LOL. Glad your back together now and it wasn't a major rebuild. score: tony 1, squirrel 0 (luckly he ducked and missed the nose. but couldn't limbo low enough for the oil pan) Tony

I've always kinda liked the Black Brick.....and the other ones kind interesting also... Cheers Tony

Don't use anything with ammonia in it or citrius (lemon simple green, etc.) if it gets in behind the rivets or between two panels you could get corrosion. Went to a forum at Oshkosh(warbird area exhaust stain removal) they compared ez-off oven cleaner to lemon simple green and the ez-off was less corrosive on aluminum.( If it sits and stays wet like a lap joint or your rims and tires.) Tony

When I was at Oshkosh a few years ago I talked to a guy that won grand champion on a little cessna he has way more to polish than we do.. He uses purple sparkle glass cleaner(no amonia) and seals it with glass wax(its a liquid). That's what I use after I do the polish/rubout. And the purple sparkle doesn't attack plastic, paint etc... If a guy does his wings(top/bottom), fuselage, and tail feathers....I'll roll with his method for the vast amount we have..LOL Tony

I do not know of this "painted" area you speak of...interesting concept caterham sells a "sill protector" pn 77329 stainless steel,from an old parts list under $30.00 Cheers Tony
