:nonod: The LEO, as well as a couple of stuck-up neighbors. I'm surprised no one complained about the trailer in front of the house for a month, as well as the late night welding and grinding.

the funniest comment i've had on mine, and i've gotten this twice now, is... can it go fast enough to actually take it on the interstate? :toetap: I guess that qualifies my car as a sleeper :rofl:

THAT was close!

Neil, Al Navarro has some quality contacts and can make the introductions. I'll make sure he sees this. :cheers:

I don't think there are any sevens in the US that could touch those times either. Maybe when Bob gets his turbo nissan powered seven dialed in, he'll come close, but it takes alot more than just power to get into the 8's. Or, if I add another 200 horses... but the wife might suspect something if a big turbo is hanging outside the engine bay :leaving:

Sweet! I will look for details on your car. How much does it weigh, and what's your rear weight bias? Also, what safety equipment is required in the UK for an 8 second car?

Thanks for writing back :thumbs: Sept. 15th is actually VERY close to the official 50th birthday of the Lotus 7 as well. I hope a few of our local members can make it there. Thanks again for all your work in saving lives.

On the plus side, if you're in a seven, you could give him a 5 :lol:

cool... looks very light so far neglecting our other cars.... I know what you mean.

:hurray::hurray: So you coming to snowshoe? :bigears:

no idea

That road will have controlled access before too long. It can't continue the way it is.

clicky :leaving:

Couple of things: 1- 650hp for busa sounds unreal 2- His MPH is good enough for 8's which would be more consistant with the claimed power level 3- Someone on the blatchat thread said the guy's top speed with his tires and gearing is exactly 152, so it is possible he was at that speed way before hitting the quarter mile. If that's the case, it also explains the higher than expected speed for a 9.8 second run.

640X480 or 800X600 If a picture is really outstanding, feel free to upload the bigger version, as other people may want to download it.

The best solution around that is to resize the pic before uploading. even on huge threads, there are only 20 posts a page, so you can just jump to the last page. I am going to resize the pics that have already been uploaded to reduce their size. BTW, google XP Power Toys and download the image resizer. Great utility.

Steve, could this be it? 1300 busa @ TOTB... uploaded yesterday.

same guy before he died and earned his wings :rofl:

An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young gal at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring. The old man said, "No, I'd like to see something more special." At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000" the jeweler said. The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it." The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, "By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon," he said. Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the old man. "There's no money in that account." "I know," said the old man, "But let me tell you about my weekend. :rofl:

ah, in that case, you can just click on the image, and it takes you to youtube :thumbs:

I'm surprised the rest of the BEC guys aren't jumping up and down about this! It's quite a feat. :bigears:
