Mine used a Unipart GFE 148, but that was in the UK. Not sure you could get that here...

My favorite shot too :thumbs:

I wasn't angry, honest :nonod: I think that's taken on Friday, so I'm just arriving - probably looking a bit grumpy 'cos I've been in the car for 400 plus miles and I just want to be there

Agree with Jeff, the manufacturers round table was :thumbs: :thumbs:

That's pretty amazing, Mazda, considering you've got all those extra cylinders and horses under the hood... maybe its a weight thing (the car, not you )

My favorite car ad line is a good fit for what we all just did... "Happiness is not around the corner, Happiness is the corner" All 318 of them :thumbs:

So, with nothing better to do on I 81 for 300 miles today, I figured I might as well see what gas mileage I'm getting. Staying at around 75 -80 I averaged 32 mpg. At the (ahem) speed limit it would probably be closer to 35 mpg. I guess at close to 130 degrees in the 'office' your mind turns to such mundane things... Hope everyone got home safe. Steve.

Very ride home, but the 7 didn't miss a beat in 1200 miles. Fantastic weekend - thanks to Al, Mazda and all the other 7 nuts out there; it was a pleasure to meet you. A few photos (no doubt there will be a few more to come)... http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1843636611_birthday cakes.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1694795981_Dragon slayer.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/442588948_enter the dragon.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/247355509_helping hand.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/647107378_look at the shine on that.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/395650814_rafting1.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1825674287_series 1 X 2.JPG

I'm not sure what 'raw' times means (?), the actual times are under 'sorted by time'.

Thomas, check with Boxologist (four subjects below on this thread) - he had a spare room at Fontana. Great news that you're coming BTW.

Are we there yet? http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1889905808_on 64.JPG

Al and family are on the way to Mrs Rowe's... 1 minute ago. And it's stopped raining :hurray: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/537704488_mint 7 leaving.JPG

THIS IS AL LOGGING ON FROM STEVE'S HOUSE. The drive to Biltmore is LONG (4 hours round trip) and a littl eboring just for a photo (IMHO) and you need special permission to park in front and take pix. I just heard back from Darryl and he thinks the paved parking area down a t the dam should work for us. --- FYI...A ROOM JUST OPENED UP AT TAPOCO. CALL AND ASK FOR MARSHA IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. TELL THEM YOU'RE WITH THE SEVENS GROUP. Also, my in laws ran into someone coming to the event from Long Island...I don't recall anyone from out there being registered...maybe we're going to get more Se7ens than we planned?:hurray:

You need one of these to hold it down (this 10 mins ago with Al's seven in my driveway)... http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/339694641_belle on minty.JPG

Kate's sister.

Depends where you're from in England (or Wales, Scotland etc.). I'm a Northern boy, so it's more like Kate er um. Still, anything is better than Cat er Ham :ack:

Spoke too soon, the BBC is now predicting Friday will be :ack:

Bummer. Hope you get it sorted soon.

I hit a Buzzard a While back. I was hard on the brakes, he (she?) was desperately trying to get off the ground. He completely filled the windscreen and I seem to remember putting my arms over my face as I expected to be wearing the damn thing any moment. I stopped and turned around - he was a bit groggy, but eventually flew off. Those guys are big close up!

I'm praying the BBC is right for Friday... http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=6110

very nice - like the hood bag ( I lost mine :cry: )

cleaned, polished and ready to go (the seven, not me ) Just got to pray for some decent weather for the drive down on Friday - not looking too good at the moment... http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/911826738_ready.JPG Even tidied up the garage ready for the Navarro family visit http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1773230667_in the garage.JPG

Doh, remember to upload image :banghead: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1072373949_road train060.jpg

You need one of these Al...

Welcome aboard Bruce :thumbs:
