  1. No license required... no training required... yeah, what could go wrong ??
  2. 13 x 6 Panasport rim for standard Caterham, fits typical Spitfire front or Ital/Ford rear, maybe others. NEVER USED, its perfect! (just the one that rides along as the spare, not the whole set). Offers well over $100 considered. Thanks for looking.
  3. Funny thing, this modern technology... 20 years ago if someone had described cell phones and GPS to you, you'd have said "science fiction, it'll never happen". Now, when these toys we take for granted are less than perfect, we get all cranky :-)
  4. yup, I'm pretty sure current wisdom is that Vike's landed in Labrador a few hundred years ahead of ol' Chris... :-)
  5. You are aware of course, that the guy that you (perhaps erroneously) think actually discovered America was Spanish....
  6. Is this close? http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/searchfmm/search_cat.php?cat=1&sub=75&sc1=&sc2=HP-2%20Series&sc3=&sc4=
  7. Yer all wrong, THIS is a prisoner wheel :-)
  8. how about over-the-top? (no affiliation, found while browsing) http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-page.php/carno/75962
  9. yup, standard location, but calling it an e-brake is a mistake, since driver cant reach it under any circumstances :-) mine's a "parking brake" , accessible only once seat belts released. cheers
  10. I've been using the "US General" (which is made in china...) for light shop duty use for years. Reliable so far. I might suggest that if you truly need to lift 6000 pounds regularly, a steel unit might be a better choice anyway.
  11. Motorcyclists balaclava... ... just don't walk in to a 7-11 forgetting you have it on, gets them very agitated. (true story)
  12. In deference to not getting banned from this website, I'll just say: " to each their own, not to my taste " ....
  13. LOL ! yeah, and Caterham said it would take me 60 hours to build my full size car..... ... what they don't say is that it assumes the crates you receive contain ALL the parts you will need, and further assumes that all the parts you receive are actually applicable to the model you ordered; don't get me started again :-)
  14. In researching the potential value, I came across this: http://www.modelersite.com/PDF_Fotos_VII/Caterham.htm yikes ! (for me, if the value is indeed less than the kit cost, then I'll keep it for sure; no risk of later regret) :-)
  15. thanks for the interest, but lets make the second bid at least 500, or am I dreaming? there's over 150 hours labor in this alone :-)
  16. Classy act! .... and clever too; think how little this actually cost them relative to standard advertising campaigns; inexpensive and massive goodwill value; smart!
  17. Gents, I need cash for full-size engine parts. What do you think this immaculately finished example is worth? Thanks
  18. I guess it's "to each their own". For me, $50k should buy a much higher spec Caterham, or a much-closer-to-original Series 2 Lotus, not a medium blend of both. :-)
  19. Well said. God-speed, Graham....
  20. You could spend all day trying to explain the 'error' to the advertising agency that drempt that up, and they still wouldn't get it !!!
  21. Seriously, what would possess anyone to spend 12 hundred bucks on a pair of headlights ? sure, add lightness (pun intended), but OMG !
  22. My first guess would be that the little bit of downforce you get at autocross speeds will be offset by the additional (unwanted) weight transfer due to the high center of gravity of that reasonably heavy sprint car wing. Let us know though, very curious....
  23. me too, please thx
  24. don't try to visit "just in passing"... plan to be there before opening, and you'll still be looking when they throw you out at closing :-)
  25. thanks for input. Rob at Aldon already offered to put in anything I want. Shipping cost is stupid, still trying to find alternatives. Mind you, now that season is ending, I can send it "slow boat inexpensive" ...
