I put a set of the Outlaw 4 pot brakes on the front of my Caterham SV. They bolted right on to the uprights with a little fussy shimming to get them centered over the disks. They looked better than the OEM brakes but didn't seem to be have any better stopping power so I went back to the originals. I still have them but I don't have the Caterham, they have about 500 miles on them. You can have them for $175 plus shipping.

Those pictures were taken years ago. The fellow who bought the car removed the Butt Extractor.

No, my arthritic feet cannot stand that much walking especially on the uneven turf of the show field.

I'm sure I will enjoy it. This is my third WRX and I loved the other two, a 2002 and a 2014, both hatch backs.

The truck was traded in on the first WRX and the deal was just transferred over to the second WRX so I am truckless. The VW GTi didn't make it into the last elimination round. I had driven a friend's with an ECU flash and it was impressive but not enough for me to buy it.

You're lucky I left out some of the saga or you might be reading it through lunch.

I no longer have a trailer so the truck, a 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn, seemed like it needed to be replaced with something smaller and more fuel efficient. After the canyon carving on Wednesday I stopped at a Subaru Dealer in Longmont, CO. I drove a 2018 base WRX and liked it. I was still in the Miata so they couldn't evaluate the truck as a trade in but they discounted the WRX $3k below MSRP and gave me it in writing. One other car had my interest, a 2018 Civic Si. The Longmont Honda dealer didn't have one so the next morning I headed into Denver to get a Carmax quote on the truck and to drive the Civic and check out the Denver Subaru dealer. I didn't like the seats in the Civic and it was too quiet and civilized for me so I went on to the Denver Subaru dealer. I had seen a white WRX Limited on their web page and thought a white one would work for me. They brought the car out for me to drive and it was covered in dust and pollen. I drove it and liked it and we hammered out a deal which let me buy the car for the same price as the Longmont dealer offered on a base model. When the detailed car was brought around, the papers were all signed and temp tag on the car. When I went out to look over the car I saw that it wasn't plain white, it had a lot of metallic and was tending towards gray like the ND ceramic white. I looked at the salesman and said this is not my car, where is the white one? He assured me this was the car that there wasn't a pure white one. Since the deal was closed I drove it home. This morning after getting the insurance changed the agent emailed me the proof of insurance card and I tried to print it. The one year old HP printed refused to print so I went on line to run their diagnostics and it couldn't be fixed so I called HP and a tech there took me through all kinds of tests and after an hour and a half pronounced it unfixable. She sent me to another person who checked and my warranty had expired two days ago. She offered to sell me a new one for $80 so she set up an order and I paid by CC. This took another half hour. Shortly after we finished the call I got an email confirming the sale. As I read down the email I discovered the printer was being shipped to a Skip Cannon in Naples, Florida. I called HP once again got it straightened out and the order and charge to my card were cancelled and the address corrected. This took another half hour on the phone. This morning I looked at the "white" WRX again in my shop and knew I would never be happy with the car. I called the dealer and talked to the sales manager. I told him the story of the dirty white car that wasn't the white I expected. We talked a bit and he offered to swap it for another one. I've never heard of a dealer taking back a sold and delivered car so I gathered up the paper work and headed back to Denver. When I arrived the car had 62 miles on it. The only other WRX Limited cars they had all had the performance package which is a sunroof, Recaro seats, upgraded brake pads with red calipers and a few minor items. The salesman told me it had an upgraded SPT exhaust. It would cost me $2,200 to up grade to the performance package cars but then I discovered that the SPT exhaust wasn't included and the sunroof went away as part of the package. I was not happy as the only thing in the package that I really wanted was the SPT exhaust. Then I asked if they had any base models in silver or red. At first they said they didn't have any base models but a few minutes later they said they did have a silver and a red base. They brought the silver one around and I drove it a bit and said I would take it. I got $1,000 back which I put into the loan to get a lower payment. As I drove home in rush hour traffic for the second time in two days I became comfortable and happy with the Ice Silver base. The base model has far less nannies than the Limited which also makes me happy with the car. __________________ 2016 ND Club 6MT BBR Turbo, 2013 5/8th scale Lotus 7, 2018 WRX 6 MT, 2017 Shelby GT350 6 MT.

TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO ENJOY HOW SOME FIGHTS START: One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started..... ______________________________ My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said,'Is that your final answer?' She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started... ______________________________ __ I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the rump steak, rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" "Nah, she can order for herself." And that's when the fight started..... ______________________________ _ My wife was at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunk swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, he's my old boyfriend. He began drinking right after we split up years ago, and hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And then the fight started... ______________________________ __ When our lawn mower broke my wife kept nagging me to get it fixed. But, I always had something else to take care of. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. I found her seated in the tall, unmowed grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp. ______________________________ My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Lots of dust." And then the fight started... ______________________________ __ My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 165 in about 2 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started..... ______________________________ After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for benefits. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left it at home. I told the woman I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver chest hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.' And then the fight started... ______________________________ __ My wife was standing naked, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect." That's when the fight began .... ______________________________ __ I rear-ended a car this morning ... the start of a really bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!' So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?' That's how the fight started....

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door. Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his door. Then a Member of Congress came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Member of Congress was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Members of Congress lined up waiting for a free hair cut... And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

I've been contemplating putting my Baby 7 on BaT this summer. It is the 5th car built by Beauchamp. Croc and Certified Lotus can each have one.

This is how I mounted them on my Caterham SV, I don't know if it is the correct way to do it but it looked better than the reverse.

Congrats Croc! Always nice to be able to check one on the bucket list.

There is room in my shop for that car. I will take at least as good of care of it as John. There are several off road areas close by so the car won't feel uncared for. And Denver is a shorter flight than Seattle.

Someone with the screen name Croc bought a Ford Escort RS Cosworth Rally Car. Fess up Croc. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-ford-escort-rs-cosworth/

"Why I'm divorced." Written by a woman. That morning, I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my husband would be pleasant and say, 'Happy Birthday,' and possibly have a small present for me. As it turned out, he barely said good morning, let alone 'Happy Birthday. ‘I thought....well, that's marriage for you, but the kids.... they will remember. My kids came bouncing down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the office I felt pretty low and somewhat dejected. As I walked into my office, my handsome boss, Rick, said, "Good morning, pretty lady, and by the way Happy Birthday!" I felt a little better that at least someone had remembered. I worked until one o'clock, when Rick knocked on my door and said, "It's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch just you and me." I said, "Thanks, Rick, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!" We went to lunch, but we didn't go where we normally would go. He chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each, and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office Rick said, '"t's such a beautiful day; we don't need to go straight back to the office, do we?" I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind?" He said, "Let's drop by my place, it's just around the corner". After arriving at his house Rick turned to me and said, "If you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I'll be right back." "Ok," I nervously replied. He went into the bedroom and after a couple of minutes he came out carrying a huge birthday cake followed by my husband, my kids, my parents, and dozens of my friends, and co-workers all singing 'Happy Birthday.' PICTURE OF RICK HOLDING BIRTHDAY CAKE And I just sat there...on the couch.... PICTURE OF NAKED WOMAN SITTING ON COUCH DELETED (Learned my lesson about posting boobs on this forum) Not really feeling much like talking . . .

Did that 4.990 second run take place at a strip near Erie, Colorado? It appears your engine was naturally aspirated which makes it even more impressive.

Surgeons! Five surgeons are discussing who makes the Best patients to operate on. The first surgeon, says, ​ ​ "I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered." The second, responds, "Yeah, but you should try ​electricians! Everything inside them is colour coded." The third surgeon, says, "No, I really think librarians are the best! Everything inside them is in alphabetical order." The fourth surgeon, chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers... Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.' But the fifth surgeon, shut them all up when he said: 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine... Plus, the head and the ass are interchangeable!

Lotsa luck with that, I already tried.
