on the other hand my westfield is the only reproduction car there

"My Caterham probably had more people standing around it at any given time than any of the Cobras."

IRENE ? stupid fat mean woman! I flew to my Key largo house to install my hurricane window shutter....and what Irene did? like women.... changed her mind and picked northeast instead. Now, my house in the northeast is exposed. I can't get a plane ticket back.

Why they called it "political science"? Where is the science in politics?

I found a 4 cyl Lotus engine for this 7 http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/9479/badespritengine003.jpg

So the 8,500 rpm billet crank has different stroke length & counterweights ? ...or the same configuration from stock (only has a better balancing)?

Customs in the US are lenient -- pay them and off you go. You need to worry on DMV inspectors (they think they are powerful than FBI)

Croc knows his stuff. My weakness is financial. All I know, I live one day at the time, 1 per 1 ratio dude. I don't believe in investing to a business however I believe in investing my time and money to my family...now! I used my money all the time & when needed to make my family happy.The rest of my money goes to educating and helping my grands. The best investment of all times. Inherit your money by your family or goes to probate court when you are dead is selfish....that's my definition.

I would be much more interested w/o all the modifications and a stock interior. But $28-33k. No way it is worth that much. I haven't even seen any original true Lotus Sevens selling for that in this recession. Plus, there are nice Bruton Stalkers available currently for far less. Remember, a car is hole in the pavement in which you can pour money. I have a Westfield and offered $28,000 by a local man in the area. Probably will not get this much if my engine is Zetec. The man was very facinated with my Honda S2000 engine.

anytime

Well, if I will put a V8 in my 7 and if money has no object....then I will go for Hartley http://www.h1v8.com/page/page/1562068.htm I'm a weight watcher when it comes to my 7 - no boat anchor V8 for me.

Talking about lightweight hi-reviving engine http://www.thedetroitbureau.com/2011/05/next-corvette-to-target-euro-supercar-fans-with-small-high-revving-turbo-v8/ maybe wait for this engine.

miata in japanese means "gay" or "happy"

Croc---your pictures are awesome --- jthx

I appreciate your effort --- nice pictures!

....and what everybody thinks of these lightweight simple 4 bangers like caterham/westfield and the like running neck to neck with some of the most "extreme supercars" in the world (powertoweightratio). http://tinyurl.com/429jl52

All the advance technology today and If Collin is alive today, do you think he will approve the proposed 500hp by Lotus CEO (Dany Bahar) that weight as much as Lamborghini & Ferrari? I drove and owned a real Lotus since the 70's, this questions been asked many times before. You will be surprised most Lotus enthusiast's priority still the weight over humongous horsepower. Big horsepower is with cost...can't get two things at the same time. This seven arguiment is a personal choice. We are all cloning his ideas and engineering. I will stay "within" the framework of a seven. No one will stop you build a seven over the 7 framework or concept....you can put a rocket if you want and fool me it's a 7.

...I have no doubt your humongous v8 500hp can do all the tricks you mentioned. I can beef up my 4 cylinder to produce 500hp if I want to. I'm questioning how you define a seven car. Just like you called it "supercar". My clone seven is very fast too but far from being a supercar. Fast is not the only attribute to call it a supercar. Owning a real 7 or a clone 7 must be "within" the concept of 7. Anything more than the concept of Collin Chapman, I will call mine a midget or outlaw car or something else......just my opinion, others might have an opposite view .

If you want a pure seven or a clone seven, stay the concept of 7. If you want big v8, humongous torque call it other than 7 'cause the man (chapman) will not appreciate that concept in his grave. Chapman critized many times with his work and creation but stayed in what he believes a lotus 7 should be.

well....it's a driving school right? why do u need us? there are driving guru there to teach you how not to do 360

......will you touch her mouse and keyboard?
