You look evil and your friend looks happy. Is the picture pre or post ride. I would bet pre.

Wow. I expected the first rider to have a broken neck after hitting the barrier. Lucy there were no major injuries.

Someone having some fun http://killboy.blogspot.com/2011/05/street-legal-gokart.html Something that looks vaguely Se7en but missing a wheel http://killboy.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-model-looks-great-though.html

Tell us more. I am particularly interested in the neat hose routing and the steering column. Also where did those funky switches, engine mounts come from?

Glad you are OK and the Se7en will live another day. I hope they charge him with reckless driving.

I installed a suction cup rear view mirror at the top of the windscreen and took a ride today. Much better view, much safer. I'm still looking for a vintage mirror thought.

Hi; We need some pictures. Some specifications...

Someone must know about the model village discussed by MHKflyer52. It sounds facinating.

In Leon Spain just up from the train station they have a bronze map/model of the city. When I saw it I thought it was a very cool idea.

You need to sell signed and numbered wood block prints.

The I-91 corridor and Rt-5 are nice. You are close enough to visit Lime Rock and the NELLI folks. Enjoy

I have a Lotus bike, an Elan. The company wasn't in any affiliated with Lotus they just used the name. The plot thickens.

Wow, Hummer vs. Se7en pretty extreme choices.

Sneaky way for Tony F. to try and gain some legitimacy of the name for a low low price.

How about $5K American and a Seven in trade?

Need more pictures. One of the nicest interiors I have seen on a Se7en.

Real men drive Se7en's in Canada.!

Well I changed to a tudor overflow bottle today and went for a ride in the neighborhood. I put $3 worth of gas and drove it about 14 miles. I didn't even burn the $3 worth. At least there is some fresh gas in the poor thing. The previous fill up was in October. Speaking of mirrors. Does anyone know where to get the classic suction cup rear view mirror? It is too easy for people to sneak up on me when I drive the Seven.

List: Ten Lotus 7 Replica Kit Cars http://www.windingroad.com/articles/lists/ten-lotus-7-replica-kit-cars/?utm_campaign=Weekly+Email&utm_medium=email&utm_source=email-83#1 and this Donkervoort introducing 24 Hours of Dubai special edition at AutoRAI http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/13/donkervoort-introducing-24-hours-of-dubai-special-edition-at-aut/

The car used to have a huge turning circle to the left and an even bigger turning circle to the right. Some machine work on the rack fixed that. After a bit of reading I actually found that this is a normal thing on the series 1s.

It isn't often that I take the Seven (1958 series 1) for a ride. It seems like there is always something to do with a higher priority. Today I worked on the air cleaner setup and swapped the coil for a Lucas sport coil in an attempt to get it to start reliably. The last few times it needed a shot of starting fluid to get a pop out of it. It was cool (50's) and overcast but dry. I don't like to get it wet because polishing the bare aluminum becomes too much of a chore. I have a few observations that I would like to share: The 948 cc BMC-A never warmed up. After 3500 rpm use of the right most peddle seems to have the same effect as an F100's afterburner - turns fuel into noise. I need higher density foam in the seat pad to drive more than 15 minutes. I rarely drive this this car wearing clean cloths. I'm always wearing grubby mechanics cloths and going for short test runs. I still can't shift a right hand drive car both quickly & smoothly. I do get 7 elbow. I also get cold neck, cold right shoulder, cold hands. It makes noises like a race car, lots of creaking, clanking, thumping... Some people give you the thumbs up like the passenger on a motor scooter did today some elderly women keep a scowl on their face even when they see a Seven. When traveling a low speed I have the same tenseness when I hear a large dog barking as I do when I ride a bicycle. I'm getting good and moving my left foot from under the clutch peddle to hovering above it. How can such a small car have such a huge turning radius? A tonneau cover will make this car much nicer in cool weather. 10 lbs makes a difference in how I fit this car. I need to up the priority for going out on a drive.

Congratulations. Anything interesting to share?

I'm currently planning taking in a bit of this event. Is anyone here planning on attending or racing? Are there any gatherings planned? July 22 - 24 Springfield Vintage Grand Prix Springfield, MA http://svgp.org/ http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/tag/springfield-vintage-grand-prix/

They could put the new 9 speed automatic ZF box in it. Perfect for a diesel!
