UglyFast

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.

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!

Lol one 7'er joined. Anyone else have any interest? Be nice to get more than 2 in the league.

Adding it to the queue. Thanks @panamericano

Work for the govt. IYKYK. Wink wink.

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

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.

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

All this is incredibly helpful stuff. Really.

Brilliant stuff. Thanks

@Austin David pics man PICS, for those who come after you.

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.

How's this for creepy? I typed Fjallraven here and then a minute later flipped to IG...

Lol I rock Fjallraven fleece lines pants for the win!

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!

Lol I ordered heated seats. Now y'all tell me! Lololol

AMAZING

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.

Nice color choice!

@eatonhong

Brilliant lil machine. I lovessss that color.

Hey @Road Ready. Not a 7 owner yet but have ordered and my build slot is week 17, 2022. I'm just over the state line (South) and am in Asheville A LOT. We'll be in touch. I'm busting waiting for this lil car. I'm thinking after drivetrain installation, registration and such we will be up and running say late summer 2021. Here's hoping, anyway. If you're on Instagram, I'm @UglyFast there as well.

Cheers to that last sentence, as that's all that really matters...

@birkinsuper7 I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING! (Internet joke). But seriously a nice tale of what sounds like a good life and nice, winding mountain road rides. And honestly made me a bit weepy. My son (13) and I we're playing Forza on Xbox last night, something we haven't done in more than 2 years. We opened our "car library" from a few years ago. In it were two 7's we "built" and he remarked "daddy we should use Forza to figure out the paint job on OUR 7" and it struck me that mostly all I do nowadays is to try and seem cool to him in the hopes he'll both have and BE a bit of me after I'm gone. I guess I'm hoping to build memories of trips for both of us in this lil car like we have in my other crappy cars, and maybe one day it'll be him taking his kids out for ice cream in "granddad's race car" lol. Like I said, I'm not crying, you're crying. Must be excess blinker fluid leaking from my eyes. Either that, or I'm driving a 7 without me spectacles!
