Well, for something totally different... and if you don't have doors/top. Definately doesn't need to be that thick of stainless but it was free.

This thing looks pretty cool... especially with it's GPS unit http://mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/VideoAbspielen?id=188

That's one of might pet peeves; people driving all the way up the open lane after the "merge sign" and then trying to squeeze in. I think we've all wanted to do that.... would of loved to have seen his face

Not to keep the hijacking going but Skip's 7 is one of the finest examples out there... probably my favorite all purpose 7.

This is pretty neat... just plug in address and cruise around. Heard Google has the same thing http://www.vpike.com/

I like that kind of stuff... the porsche, not so much the mustang. Love "sleepers" If I had that kind of disposable cash I'd get that black VW bus that kicks ass on the Nurburgring. And sits 6 in full harness seats/roll cage;)

Well not really us..... just our grandkids;) When speaking of climate, even 30 years is a speck in time. The earth has been warmer and cooler. We have to be careful as some of those drastic looking charts of a few decades actually start at the coldest time in a century so they will naturally be skewed. Also, the climate will change... it's never stayed the same. So how much influence we can have is the real question. I pretty much think along your lines Mopho, but mainly for clean air. It's pretty bad here in the armpit of the Central Valley. We have to move away from fossil fuels for a variety of environmental and political reasons. I'm trying to do my part with the installation of solar panels this past summer. Though I'm not really sold on the "cap & trade" solution. As expensive as some propose, I'm afraid it would be cheaper just to move people over the next hundred years to higher ground and to the cold climate areas that will warm up.

Brave man.... glad you made it home safely.

Man, checked out all those garages and didn't see one Lotus 7.... and I bet they call themselves car enthusiasts;)

In California, the car has to be 1975 or older. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/smogfaq.htm#BM2535

Amazing! Creating something like that, and mountain climbing, are 2 things I can appreciate but will never attempt to do.

That's a beautiful area, know several people that have moved just across the State line there after retiring...

good one!

Also, if your unfortunate enough to be in the situation to perform CPR, don't beat yourself up if the patient doesn't respond. I've probably performed CPR close to 200 times in my firefighting career and have only brought back 3 people. Odds are not good unless you've actually seen the patient go unconcious or have a defibulator handy (and paramedics get there quickly with follow up drugs). Most of the time the person is found after they've been missing a while (like in the bathroom or hasn't woke up at the normal time..). I've also never heard of someone coming back when the heart stops due to trauma (major injury) unless perhaps it's on the operating table. Sorry for my depressing experience/opinion but I've always felt sorry for those that perform CPR (once in a lifetime experience) and then feel it may have been their fault that things did't turn out like in the movies. I'm not discouraging anyone from taking classes and being prepared... heck, I hope someone knows it should they witness me going down;) You just never know if the victim will beat the slim odds.

May be a better alternative for women than stripping for their college tuition;) COOS BAY, Ore. - A police survey says panhandlers outside Wal-Mart in Coos Bay can make $300 a day. Inside, it takes a clerk a week to make that much. Police say people who have a problem with that needn't look to the law - asking for money is considered protected free speech. Coos Bay authorities say most panhandlers are not criminals. Coos Bay Police Captain Rodger Craddock says most have lived in the city a long time and they actually have homes. Craddock says, "This is just their chosen profession." He says most are docile, and that people should report those who are not. Bob More, director of housing and emergency services at South Coast Community Action, says many panhandlers are there for the money - to feed their addictions. He suggested a voucher system involving tickets people could give that are good for a meal or bed in a shelter.

Yeah, You've missed the chance on a couple excellent examples over the last year. I think it's a good move to look at used ones for another reason as well... they have the bugs worked out. If you read this site a lot, it seems all types of 7s need a little shakedown/fine tuning when first put on the road/track. Once done though, it's tough to beat the reliablility/dollar benefits of a S2K... especially a used one.

thats funny! would be nice if it worked on those electric cars;)

Yeah, it was just some good ol boy shop... but I don't have them high-fulluzen HID headlights;) If you ever come down to do a day at Buttonwillow, stay another day and I'll gladly show you some fun roads..

Wow, I just went to some authorized shop and they basically checked to make sure the lights worked. That was it... 10 minutes.

Some things never change.... Groucho Marx during the Great Depression

I guess we'll have drinking problems (water) but will see and breath better... I might have a drinking problem now;) Wasn't the Hindenburg filled with Hydrogen?

big game

I've seen some video of nitwits thinking these vests stop the bullet without anything happening to the wearer. It's pretty funny to see their reaction to the pain of the bullets force hitting them. You're likely to get a bruised rib etc... from that force, though it doesn't penetrate it still smarts.
