Kevin, I signed it, sorry to hear that more of our tax dollars are being used for something stupid. And that you are spending money to defend yourself over this. WTF, Steve

It's cool, but I'll keep my $4,450. I could buy a nice Vespa for that price.

Hi Bruce, To much rotating mass , spinning to fast, to take a chance with. Slotting the holes is the dumbest thing they could have said. I would like to lose the heavy flywheel in my car, but I'll look at other companys after reading this. Take your money and run like hell,Let us know what you get as a replacement. Hope to see you this summer, Steve

Go get a ride in Franken7 !!!!

I am so happy that I am not the only F1 nut. Jim Hall did the same thing back in the 60's, with his can-am car. flaten( if thats a word) out the wing when going foward, drop the wing and get downforce in the turns. I am sure the F1 car's works alot better.I think it is illegal, but FIA says it's ok. The rules state no movable wing, and this one moves. Love it !!!!!!

This sinks, something I think about when I have someone in the other seat while driving my 7. Getting in a crash with anything ,is going to hurt. I don't think a 4 or 5 point harness would help in a side impact. Bumper to body . To all that drive a 7 be careful, and to Dana, Rest in Peace !!!

Good advice Mike !!!! LOL, Your not right Mate !!!!!

Sorry I'll have to miss that run, I'll be in London.

This 7 was under the care of GMT this past summer, at NJMP.

All my favorite F1 sites are reporting bad news. Lots of hype at the start, and seemed to go down hill from there. Big , Giant, undertaking, $$$$$ starting a team from nothing. Oh well, back to supporting that Red team !!!!!

What I am trying to get excited about is our own F1 team, USF1. They have missed the first two tests in Spain. They have FIA permission to do their first test at Barber Motorsport Park. ( Don't we know someone that works there) . USF1 is going to test there next month from what little details I can get. But I want all the new team to do well.

Robert, That looks great, looks like Birkin made it in the factory. Very well made. MADE IN THE USA !!!!!! Hope you and your lovely wife can make it to Carlisle this year, Steve

Lotus Technical Director- Mike Gascoyne ex-Tyrrell, Sauber, Jordan,Bettetton/Renault, Toyota, Spyker/Force India. Tony Fernandes is the money, one of three guys that own their own airline in F1, Gascoyne is the brains, Lotus in name only !!!! Chapman family was going to sue over the use the of Lotus brand, last year, so I would guess some pounds were handed over.

Hi Dean, Thats a very nice place to store your Seven for a few weeks. Being invited to the Museum for display is saying alot about how nice your car is. I work very close to the Museum, I 'll stop in to see it in person. Congrats, Steve

Hi Mike, Welcome to the forum, Thats a great first drive. This summer will make up for your cold ride home. Good Luck your 7..

If I were looking for a Se7en, that would be sitting in my garage, Thats a sweet car and a great price !!

Hi Andrew, I had a older Formula Ford, and I drove a GT on the street. I'll take a FF all the time, they are neat cars. Even with a Cortina, it would keep up cars with much more HP. And they are great cars to learn with, big rewards for driving nice. Great Vid , It has me smiling remembering the good days I spent with my FF. GT was a very tight fit for me. GT40 was a friends, he sold it after a year. Steve

Yep, A soon as I saw it for sale , I thought , Thats what Tom liked at NJMP.

Well we have seen the white one" that I can't seem to download a photo of' and it is nice. But I like the green one too !!! I had no idea they were so much money !

I see that Tom's " yellowss7 " favorite car is for sale on race-cars. com. At $ 200.ooo

Hey Mike, I think you just got the deal of the year with that car. It looks to be very nice. Enjoy it , Steve

Hi Adam, You just missed the buy of the year on E-Bay. Oh Well, Go see Dick Brink, your local Brikin Dealer. Good luck

Landed in Cancun a few years ago in a tropical storm . On the third try to land, the right wing, were we were seated, was hit by lighting. Like a Big Arc flash. When the plane touched down , it turned side ways so I could see up the end of the runway. People screaming, guy next to my wife throws up all over the place. We stopped with the wing hanging over the end of the runway.As we got off the plane the cockpit door was open, the three pilots were slumped over in their seats. For the first time in my life , I thought, Thats it, this were we will be killed. I hope we never have a second scare like Mike.

It's ok Mike , short term memory is the first to go, well maybe the second !! First up is OK with me !!!

It is alittle off, but I will always have time to get out with our NJ-PA group. Any route that we go on will be OK with me. If we really want the shit to hit the fan, we can invite the New Jersy LOG that had us over last year. Make no mistake about this, This year I will be doing an OFFICAL CATERHAM brake light inspection, so have your bulbs and fuses at the ready. LOL
