  1. Cool. Glad to help. Now, if I can just find someone who wants this IS 350, I may go look at it myself. A Se7en as a daily driver? Maybe in AZ.:ack:
  2. gjslutz - I emailed him. I gave him my email address and my phone number. If I hear from him I'll get back to you ASAP. EviLRome0 - That does look like the same car. Can you help gjslutz with any contact info?
  3. Al - You're right about the weather. It's cool and wet here today, but the nice stuff is comin' fast. Thank you for the builder tip. KitCat - Too many electronic nannies! That's the one real drawback to the one I have. Besides, a Se7en would be way more fun. My pockets may not be deep enough for the IS-F. The Westfield cars are interesting. There was a feller' in town here acting as the WCM dealer, but I dunno' if he's the same guy selling the one on Craigslist. Cheers, Frank
  4. The listing sez' "Modern Lotus" if you use the search feature. Dunno' much else. Cheers, Frank
  5. Hi All, I'm a 61 year old retired telephone/computer geek living in Sun City, AZ. I grew up here in the Valley of the Sun. When my peer group was talking about stuffing a Caddy motor into a '53 Studebaker, I was reading about Phil Hill, the four wheel drift, (from Ken Purdy's book), and finally talked my folks into a 1960 948cc bug eyed Sprite. I remember searching for a local machine shop that had a boring bar small enough for a rebore. Since then I've had a lot of cars I wish I had kept. I drag raced my 900, (punched to 1132cc, 12.5 to 1, 15 inch wrinkle wall on a three piece spun aluminum rear wheel from Sandy Kosman, kick start only), Kawasaki in the mid 70's, (10's @128), but the 1981 1100cc Suzuki was faster and street legal. I've been interested in the Seven since it's inception, but haven't taken the plunge. I found the WCM site some time ago. Nice. I look at power to weight pretty hard when I consider a thrill ride. The Hayabusa/ZX-14 are still calling me, I can hear them, but Phoenix is too big/dangerous now to really enjoy a bike. Besides, mostly in this area/peer group are Gold Wings. Not me. I cannot believe the number of choices that are out there now. There's an S2K on Craigslist here in Phoenix for 25K. I'm considering dumping my '07 IS 350 and joining you lot. Lots more fun. Thanks for listening. Frank
