Off Road SHO

If I could just find a good mirror with a good pivot, I can build the adaptor to make it fit my doors AND door mount. All of the stuff at the motorcycle places is cheap chines crap. Tom

I too tried those motorcycle type mirrors, but they were designed for mounting to a horzontal surface, not a vertical one like doors or scuttle sides. Tom

Boy oh boy, If I could get some close up pics of that, I'd like to build my own with some sort of spring and maybe a shock setup too. My current tandem axle car hauler is huge and needs an F-150 or better to pull it safely when loaded. I could do this. Tom

Dang, #6 of 53 ever made. And I have #55. Curses. Tom

What about the guy pinched in between the loader and the barrier wall? Tom

What was that open wheel car that passed the Caterham at about 12:00? Tom

I think it would be more like flying than driving. Probably needs full flaps to slow down enough to use the brakes.. Tom

Those double inlets are NACA ducts, that when designed correctly, add minimal resistance to the air flow. My son-in-law who designs and builds UAV's (drones) for the military tried to describe how to design them in layman terms. Wasn't layman enough for me but there was something about opposing vortices cancelin each other out...blah, blah, blah. His plane's radiators are all cooled by NACA ducts so that he can use an aerodynamic nose piece to greatly reduce drag which gives his drones more time to "hunt". Tom

Great! I have number 55 and Don just bought number 56, so you can imagine how disappointed we are about now... Tom

A lot of bears!

Modern turbos don't have much lag. I also think the new EcoBoost engines would be great in a seven. Tom

I was once part of a group that needed a poll taken to judge public opinion. The Polling company sales VP asked us what kind or opinion we were looking for. After a few of us had that quizzical look on our faces for a while, he explained that you word the questions in a poll in a way that guarrantees that the people writing the check get the "opinions" that they want. He said this so matter-of-factly that we were stunned. He thought we were children with our naievity of how the media works. As long as it gets hits, it's a success. Tom

Simon Cowell, publicity stunt? He wouldn't do something like that, would he? Bwuhahahaha Tom

Can't they just use one of those cigarette lighter thingies that counts the revolutions of the alternator, converts it to revolutions of the crank and then creates a big block sound that is piped into your sound system? That would be a small price to pay to have the manly sound in a girly car. :-) Tom

Yeah, post them up here. I need a windshield if you have one. Tom

Well, there are engines, transmissions available at just about any junk yard, engines in crates from Ford. Everything else is up to you and the hot rod shops. Tom

???? Does Mazda have a dog in this fight? Tom

hahahaha, good one.

There was always a hot, well endowed girl next to me in all my English classes. So I'm not sure if a preposition is a terrible thing to end a sentence with.

So is the Rotrex a Roots style or a Lysolm style of blower. I can'r imagine it being the old Roots style with all of the advancements they have made in the last ten years in the Lysolm (screw type) superchargers. Tom

Wow. Just wow.

I envy you. If I could have gotten an S for decent money, I would be on the Porsche Forums instead of the Seven Forums. And talk about Porsche Blasphemy, I've read where they are putting turbo'd Subie motors in them and calling them Porscharus's. Tom

My Superformance S-1 weighs 1750 with full fuel and 220 lb driver. Verified on a certified traffic scale. Tom

Work backwards from your fuse block. Look for the big wire that feeds it and trace it back to where it is probably dangling. If no big wire, find the post on the fuse block where it should be and run one. Can you post a pic of the fuse block? Tom

I don't always drink beer when I come up with great ideas, but when I do, I prefer CORONA!
