Looks like great fun was had. I'm pretty sure that one car you can't identify is from RCR, called a superlite (they make an awesome GT40 and some other nice replicas). http://www.superlitecars.com/

Welcome. Nice car... especially like the color combo;)

:thumbs:

It was funny watching McCain talk about voting for this and the next sentence talk about how he would veto these type of things:skep:

Yep, The way we elect these guys is so polarizing that we get politicians that promise things to their far right or left and no one will compromise for fear of it ruining their re-election (which they start working on as soon as they're in office). In California, at least, we really need some redistricting and/or open primaries to get politicians to pander to majority of moderates (most of us our not conservative or liberal on all things).

I have State Farm and they got insurance for me thru another insurer https://new.bristolwest.com/bristolwest/Home.aspx It's the same coverage as my other cars (no mileage limits etc..) but I'm going to check with Hagerty as I don't think I drive it enough to justify $130 a month. I do have a million dollar umbrella that requires higher dollar coverage on my cars so that might be why it's so high.

I totally agree wih this guy. Am I wrong? Warning... it's about 20 minutes long http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/09262008/watch.html

I think he should do the opposite and build a 7 twice it's normal size;)

Yeah, I heard the plan would cost about 10 grand per person... guess it shows how many of us really take more than 30 seconds to figure anything out nowadays.

Had a Lotus Europa in the 80s.. I really, really, really wanted a GT40. Was going to try my hand at building it as it was the only way I could afford it. Well the price kept going up so that was out. My other choice, which I couldn't afford as well, was to try and get a used Noble. Actually saw one go in the $40s a few months back. I was satisfied for about 5 years with a sportbike but it's just too dangerous and my right wrist seemed to always give it full throttle... had to get off for self preserverance. I'm not a big convertible fan but this car is definately the most bang for the buck and I really wanted something that handled, was quick, and different. It fits the bill quite well. But if I win the lotto:leaving:

Though Brian gave me the weather kit, I plan on having a top for shade made as it gets HOT here.... only 6 inches a year in Bako town.

Just think of the $700 billion plan I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend. To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00. My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend. Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let's assume a tax rate of 30%. Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam. But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife has $595,000.00. What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family? Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved. Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads Put away money for college - it'll be there Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs. Buy a new car - create jobs Invest in the market - capital drives growth Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces. If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President. If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+! As for AIG - liquidate it. Sell off its parts . Let American General go back to being American General. Sell off the real estate. Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up. Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't. Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work." But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party! How do you spell Economic Boom? I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC . And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam. Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

love it! Really like the seats and knee pads:thumbs:

I saw a guy that blew up his Quaife sequential shifting Caterham because he wasn't used to which way to push/pull the lever and downshifted by mistake:ack: On motorcycle engined 7 you can put in a slipperclutch which will help downshifting into corners and would save the motor in the above case.

Best drivers in the world, no doubt:thumbs: I loved when SpeedTV had it on. Can't find it on TV anymore. I'll never forget one race with them driving in the clouds... that's when I appreciated the navigator, there's no way they could of gone that fast just looking thru the windshield; it was scary just watching.

This is kind of how I felt when Kevin gave me a ride (except I didn't have the seatbelt on). And I'd do it again in a heartbeat:thumbs:

I had a little datsun PU with a camper shell at 16... Them kids (like us back then) can find plenty of places to knock one out. So far she's still a princess. Our little talk was "be a virgin in high school so you can go back to reunions with your head held high.... experiment in college, where what you do isn't so judgemental and no employers ask your grade point average". Maybe that was just my experience:o

Didn't mean to hijack this thread.... Well the truck is really "our" truck. I wanted to put some metal around her the first year, just in case. I had the truck, unfinished, for quite some time. More of an excuse to fix it up. I intend to get her a little used car with good gas mileage in a year or so.... something to commute to college. The truck has an overdrive transmission but still really sucks the fuel. The cabinets are from "Cal-Garage", out of Fresno. There about the best built I found around here. And right now all these type businesses are really hurting so the price was very good.

Wow! Those are some great shots!

Man, You guys have to compete against this? http://video.aol.com/video-detail/cumberland-md-airport-autocross-bmod-reynard/132637038

:rofl:

Guess I better run down and pick up a copy:) Do like it better with front fenders and the little tonneau though

I just got the 67 PU ready for my 16yr old daughter to drive to school. Actually did work on this truck (except for exterior paint). She's driven less than 10 times and already put a pretty good scratch over the driver's left rear fender:banghead: Still a couple glitches with the S2K but hope to have it all dialed real soon (waiting on brake rotor). http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/914270534_new fresh paint 002.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/765923444_new fresh paint 018.jpg

Got these cabinets a couple months ago.... can't really do much work in the garage but it looks nice. Would love a garage with a lift. With my skills it would only allow me to wax the bottom half of the car without bending down:o http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1917393257_new fresh paint 010.jpg
