I caught one setting still. Not only does it monitor pressure it can adjust pressure on the fly. The truck I saw even did the spares. Why such an elaborate system I do not know... The guy did not speak any laugauge that I do so it was mostly hand jesters.

A taxi cab driver told me today that it is an alternate braking system for the mountians. I´m not sure I´m buying that..... I hope get an upclose look at one before I have to leave tomorrow...

,,,,,,,

I haven't caught one yet that I can get to that is sitting still. Here is a pick I snapped going down the road. Looks like Crazy may be right.... I'm sure this is much better than a transducer...... I'm sure you would not have to worry about things like o-rings wearing out or breaking one of those lines or fitting leaking...

My first car was a 1972 914 porsche that I bought when I was 14 for $1200. Bought it from the money I saved from 2 years of tobacco crops. From age 16 to 18 I lost my lic 3 times.....always testing and tuning in the wrong place. I still have the car. Some things get in your blood and thats it

Next weird thing to figure out.... The trucks down here have this strange tube going to the center of the hubs....

I see how you are Bruce.... Fun at my possable expense... Mike ... That is hilarious..... Did you ever tell her ? It sure would have been funny to have some pics of that... Skip... You are dead on.... The Q valve stays hot to the touch all the time. They must circulate the hot water through the building all the time. Thanks for the tip...

I agree with Mazda, If your going to do it do it full on..... Of course that is sure not the painless way... It is defiantly a sickness.... But I can think of allot worse things that aren't near as fun. The reward you receive in the end completely out weighs the challenge.... It is going to be an awesome ride when the kinks are worked out.....

I just go this email from Gideon Wigger from Caterham... ("This is a clip of a £40k R500 Vs £100k 996 GT2. Look for 2:13 mins into the vid when the R500 gets some air flat out (150mph). Think the Italian guy driving had a moment!!! " Cheers Gideon) 150 mph getting air borne and a little side ways.... I think would have had a very big smelly moment..... .... That guy is laying it down.... WOW !!!! When I grow up I want to drive like that.... Hell who am I kidding I don't think I'll ever grow up....

Ok my Brainiac friends, Please tell me what in the H*ll these thing are for? I am afraid to touch them. We are in Sao Paulo Brazil for the next 6 days and I am pulling my hair out trying figure this one out. :~ I heard Ron White talk about the thing on the lower right, Haven't tried it yet, Kind of afraid I might like it too much..... They are labeled Q and F ??????

I could have not imagined what I was about to experience. To be carry back in time to a place where it all began. This year is the 100th year in business for Morgan. The oldest privately held car company in the world. They have been in the same location for 90 years. The buildings that they were building cars in 85 years ago are still the same buildings..... It is almost beyond belief. To see pictures from the early 1900's of cars being built in the same building that they are building them in today. The tour was so good that we did it twice (Back to Back 3 hours). They encouraged us to take as many pictures as we wanted and to ask as many question as we wanted. And I did... If the tour guide did not know, then he would pull someone off a car and ask them.... There was no question that I asked no matter how technical that did not get answered. An amazing bunch. The Classic Morgan is still being built like it was 75 years ago. except with better materials, even the suspension is the same design. Of course now it has allot of stainless steel and aircraft grade aluminum. But English Ash is still their preferred wood. The wood working in this car is incredibly impressive. Even my wife could not believe how beautiful the wood working was. To be continued

A Brick probably has better aero than a 7..... smaller frontal area....

Thats funny...... They have come a ways since then....

Best $5 ever spent on marketing..... Yu da Man Hank. That pic just would not have been the same with a Miata in it.... Would it Hank ? Just kidding .... I don't want to upset the Miata guys again....

WOW.... Awesome car...... Beautiful attention to detail... You hit it dead on. Congrads

I am headed back over the pond and will be stopping in to visit with the guys in Malvern Link Worcestershire, Morgan Motors INC. So I again extend the invitation to carry back small parts.... (no motors Tom.. ) Yes I know this is a 7's site, But you never know what else these chaps may have in the garage.... I spent some time on the track at Buttonwillow watching the tail light disappear on Paul Brown Aero 8 GTR (LS7) durring the Ultimate Track Car Challenge, and I was very impressed. So I thought it would be cool to stop by the plant. Plus I want to see the new Aero SuperSports http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/sales/aero_supersports/aero_supersports.html This thing looks like sex on wheels ! May have to go for a test drive..... Ahhhh better not... I have a weakness when it comes to these things.....

I have those mirrors on my car also (F1 style). I really like them. I found they work best if you get both sides convexed vs flat. Because they are small the flat mirror just doesn't give a verry large field of view. You can order just the convexed glass for them if you need to change them. Cheers 7evin

That is clickty clacking down the track.... What are the specs on your car? Keeping it on the the ground will be a chalenge.... 1 word "wings"

Street speed just scares the h*ll out me... Just to many thing to go wrong. Track speed on the other hand.... I love everything about track days.. Acceleration deceleration, Speed, screaming engines, the smell of burning rubber... all of it ... I guess I spent so many years away from it all my tank got recharged....

In all honesty that is probably the closest thing I have seen to truth in advertising. I am going to be in Manchester in a couple of weeks. May have to pose next to one of those or steal one....

I have to say this is one of the most visually appealing dashes I have ever seen in a 7 Caterham CSR Check out the dash vents. This is my favorite of the Caterhams

Has anyone ever seen a 7 with a propeller on it ? I think I'll put a prop on mine just in case it decides to start raining again. Cheers 7evin

As Clint Eastwood AKA Dirty Harry so aptly put it " A Man has to know his limits" I saw several that I really liked, But I know my wifes limits and do not like reaching them... When Red heads reach their limits they go into full avalanche mode.... Not pretty... Its like going into a turn way too hot knowing you are not going to make it.... You pucker up and wait for the impact.... Hoping it will be minimal.... I think we have all been there at some point in life... Her and Mojito are allot alike Fast, Fun and Furious..... But step over the edge and hang on for dear life... So what I am saying is.... No.... I left all the pretty toys on the shelf....

Tom, I was all about it, but I could not convince my wife to leave her new shoes behind... I really like you but..... I like her more and she lets me have a race car.... Sorry Maybe next time though... Cheers 7evin

LOL .... You are funny Martin, I wish I could fill those shoes..... Thanks for the vote of confidence Cheers 7evin
