  1. Several good ideas were posted. I think I will try and sneak up on the solution by dragging out some of my old motorcycle stuff. It seems that the most important thing is to plan ahead. Throwing on a couple of layers and heading out was an interesting experiment but didn't produce the results I had hoped for. Thanks
  2. I took my first cold, high 40s, weather drive today. Rather than load up the trailer I decided to bundle up and drive to the local shop that does some of the work on our car. A bit too cold. Top to bottom I was dressed in: mad bomber hat; t-shirt, fuzzy, raincoat; jeans; wool socks and boat shoes. I was cold overall especially throat, ears and right hand. Our car has no top, doors or tannaeu cover. I think the next time I will drive with at least one more layer, a scarf and gloves. Maybe I will try my full face helmet. Does anyone have any particular suggestions for staying warm?
  3. One of the nice things about unpainted aluminum is that if you are feeling ambitious you can shine it up for a fantastic look. To me the best part of the Donkervoort is the ally nose.
  4. Harbor Freight it is. The shear question does give me pause. Through bolting may be the wisest approach.
  5. I tried an experiment substituting inexpensive movers dollies for expensive car jacks. It seem to work OK with a light car. I am putting less than 300 lbs on each one. At $9 each they are much cheaper but a little more trouble (you have to jack up the car then set it down on the dolly) than the $75 gojack. Remember, be careful, just because I am getting away with it doesn't mean that you will too.

    Car Update

    When do you think you can take the first drive? Christmas?
  7. I would love to see that demonstrated. Actually the cars that are accepted as 7ish are so diverse I would think that it would be easy to get a 4 wheeler and make it look like a 7.
  8. A bit too weird but I've wanted to try road luge for quite some time.
  9. Thanks for posting. A local guy (out of Virgina Beach) has an old GMC stake bed to haul his autoX Morgan. It makes a very impressive appearance. Unfortunately I have no pictures.
  10. No but close. The rider had a couple of big strides. As I remember the camera angle the bike was traveling from right to left. Still, pretty amazing stuff.
  11. Cool. Years ago, when 2-strokes were king, a 500cc bike had a high speed wobbled and tossed the rider off the seat. He hung onto the handle bars and took several superman like strides before he was able to jump back on the bike. He did an immediate tuck and gunned it. I loved watching the 500cc GP races.
  12. Thems good eaten.
  13. Wow, it looks like another great LEO event is in the books.
  14. Nice. Certainly better than I expected. Bike engined 7s sound awesome.
  15. Hope to see you at LOG 30
  16. Sorry, I couldn't photograph everyone. The recycle time of our digital camera made that impossible.
  17. Still more to come.
  18. Reliving the good life.
  19. Mondo; I like your bird dog picture.
  20. Several cars were called Dino although I like the old V6 coupe as shown and the somewhat similar convertible. In the top set of pictures I think it is the red car.
  21. Josch - More pictures please.
  22. The Automobile magazine article starts off " Mazda Ebrahimi is ruggedly handsome, unfailingly affable, remarkably generous, extraordinarily clever, and certifiably insane..." http://www.automobilemag.com/features/0711_lotus_seven/index.html
  23. Bruce - I looked and a bigger version of the pictures and now fully agree with you!
