  1. Yep. What @Vovchandr said. How badly and how quickly do your want it? Looked at a decent 70's 911 the other day. Decent until I tabulated that it needed $40k to get on the road...
  2. Yes seems high to me as well. But... for about $65k (all in) you can get a brand new kit that doesn't run (yet), AND it'll take you about a year and a half... to get to your garage. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Not being snarky, at all, just pointing out the intricacies of NEW KIT CKD Caterham market at the moment.) My qualifications to remark on the market: I've been waiting almost a year, happily. And the car I've specced will come in well above $65k... But if my wife asks it's just $1,200, plus shipping. Lol.

  4. Thanks Croc. Will reach out for info once I have my car. Bruce has been shepherding me thru the process and has been great at every step. I'm very excited to join the ranks of 7 owners.
  5. Any updated thoughts on HPDE for SC? Just curious. Still waiting on my 7. Thanks
  6. Hey all. J here. (IG @UglyFast) I should be couple months away from there driver's seat of my 7, depending on ship times and WW3, etc. Bruce (Beachman Racing) tells me it's underway at the factory. Been a long wait, and he's been great. Just sorta seeing who's out there in SC Upstate or even WNC/Asheville. Reach out if you'd like. Have a couple other interesting machines, if you like crusty Land Cruisers lol. Currently having a 77 FJ40 nursed back to life with a new Cummins turbo diesel. In theory she'll then be the slowest most fun car I've ever had. (IG @UglyToyota) Anyways, interested in grabbing coffee/tacos/wrenches and meeting 7-minded people near or near-ish here. Thanks.
  7. Brilliant lil car. Just read this whole thread. Bruce is neck deep in three back and forth with the factory with my 7 at the moment. Hoping to be flying sideways in the Blue Ridge Mountains by late summer!
  8. Lol one 7'er joined. Anyone else have any interest? Be nice to get more than 2 in the league.
  9. Adding it to the queue. Thanks @panamericano
  10. Work for the govt. IYKYK. Wink wink.
  11. Hi all. Somehow posted mistakenly in religion... Anyway. I started a fantasy league. Feel free to send this link to any 7 owners (or people like me currently waiting on their 7's). No money involved, the prize is just the bragging rights. Here's hoping to see y'all there. It's lights out and we're away! https://gridrival.app.link/PtddDf6yoob
  12. Thanks. Yep all me. Flying in sport mode so I can*kinda* keep up with the vehicles as they accelerate out of tight corners. Wonder why the uploaded lil video didn't load? Mavic 3 and day time videos had a ND8 filter on the lens. Just for the bright blue sky.
  13. Not 7 related at all, but I did time control this weekend at Sandblast Rally in Cheraw, SC. Was an incredible time. Currently looking for an old Subaru! (Lol the missus gonna realllllllly kill me soon). At any rate, if y'all wanna see the highlights, here you go, ignore the awful soundtrack. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CayvKwfFXg1/?utm_medium=copy_link @UglyFast on IG and such. FullSizeRender.MOV
  14. All this is incredibly helpful stuff. Really.
  15. Anxiously awaiting build update, haven't heard anything in two months...

  16. Brilliant stuff. Thanks
  17. @Austin David pics man PICS, for those who come after you.
  18. I tell myself I’m doing good cause I’m not actually on Facebook, but IG equals FB, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol. ZUCK, if you're listening, stop being so creepy dawg.
  19. How's this for creepy? I typed Fjallraven here and then a minute later flipped to IG...
  20. Lol I rock Fjallraven fleece lines pants for the win!
  21. I ordered a CSR. Comes with padded leather "touring" type seats. I optioned the heated carbon along with a bunch of other track-ish gear. Also going to get another set of seats, but need to wait and see my actual floors before I do. I'm in the bottom end of the Blue Ridge Mountains, so we get very cool mornings and evenings in fall. I figure between the footwell heater, transmission tunnel heat, heated seats and a good jacket I can mayyyybe have a full 3 season car. Lol, we'll see. Either way, I'ma be sideways on the Blue Ridge Parkway in summers!
  22. Lol I ordered heated seats. Now y'all tell me! Lololol
  23. Update and correcting a typo. My build slot has moved from week 27 of 2022... TO WEEK 8 of 2022! So in theory I'll have a Caterham hugging my buns sometime in Sumner of 2022, instead of getting it sorted just in time to pack away for winter 2022. I'm incredibly amped, and weirdly sounds like my car will be born/started on or very close to my birthday. See you guys in the twisties soon. J.
  24. Nice color choice!
