I have a CSR 260. I could not get it to keep running at start-up. Discovered the fuel-pump fuse (Fuse M, 15-amp) was blown. Replaced fuse. Car started and kept running. Trailered to an Evolution school. While an instructor was driving the car, it quit on-course. We pushed it over to my rig. I changed the fuse and the new one blew. I suspect that there may be a transient that is blowing the fuses. These are the blade-type fuses in the color-coded plastic housings. Does anyone make slow-blow fuses in this format?

Where is this a recognizable idiom? Iv'e never seen this one before.

>Show us your completed rides here. None of my Sevens have ever really been completed.

Tires: My favorite tire for light cars in autocross is the Yokohama A052. They stick when cold. I have the Bridgestones on my Porsche Cayman. It's a porker at about 3000 pounds and the camber curves are garbage.

Truer words were never typed.

That little piece at the end of a shoelace is properly called an "aglet", not an "exhaust-guard hook".

That's what's in the Birkin I'd like to sell.

And we have a winner. The Canadians call it autoslalom, and that's alright. I have gone around the cones in Canada, but not at an CASC Autoslalom, but at Rendezvous events. I have been addicted since 1968.

I have two pickleballs to protect my storm cap from my mirror clamps. My favorite sport is not pickleball.

Oversize tennis ball. My favorite sport is not tennis.

Turns out, I didn't have all the facts. Silly me had not really looked at the CSR setup yet. I thought all Caterham cars were alike in this respect. Wrong.

I got your vintage green right here. Zetec/5-speed. But it's a Birkin.

Where you at? I have a Birkin with a Zetec that is spare gear. I own three Sevens and really only have winter storage for two.

Truth.

While I was doing other stuff, my computer decided to convert the file. I have no idea why this happened.

Guess my favorite sport.

Sam ting, but instead of a Miata, I have a Cayman. Used to have a Miata. Not hip to the "demoray solution", I sold Meg (short for Megagram, a metric ton of fun) when I got my first Caterham. Soon realized my mistake and tried to remedy it by selling the Caterham and buying an Elise.

I have no pictures at all of me with my father in his 1932 Auburn. My grandmother made him sell it when Roosevelt activated his Naval Reserve unit and sent them all to Hawaii in early 1941.

Happy to sell you the Zetec, computer, the whole ball of wax, but you have to take the entire Birkin.

Yeah. I love letting kids sit in my cars. It means so much to them. I remember my first ride in a real sports car. I didn't understand what it was at the time; i might have been about 7 years old. When I grew up, I thought about my memory of the event and I think it was probably a big Healey.

Nice little video clip. Of course, I did have to turn my laptop upside-down.

The MK cars look pretty-good. All the essentials of a Seven with a single Miata donor. I was seriously considering one, but it was turbocharged. Any amount of of turbo-lag is probably a bad idea for an aging autocross freak with laughable natural talent.

May I see that photo, please?

I'll try to get to that today!
