I have a set of these Tillet pads on order to protect my nice new Tillett seats https://www.thundersport.co.uk/products/

Its only his torso than needs larger than the medium. Rest of him is small. :rofl:

Simplify and add Lightness sums me up these days. 7 days a week doing 14-15 hours days has certainly fried my brain so I am definitely simpler. And I am adding lightness. Down 12 pounds so far. Even saw my feet yesterday for the first time in 10 years. Hoping I see my tinkle tomorrow! :seeya:

:rofl:

Way too serious - let me take the tone down a bit

The only way to look at it will be to remove the time variable and look at it state by state. Ideally you would look at it by population center or town as they often straddle state borders but the data is not collected that way so state based it has to be. Each population center is progressing through this with different start and end dates. Its only starting to hit some rural communities now. Yet to really make it to Wyoming. Some of these communities did not act to lock down so it will not be pretty in places.

I thought I read somewhere that Ivey Engines is still operating? Or are they shut down too?

Probably is but Caterham calls it a bobbin https://caterhamparts.co.uk/mounts-gaskets/1075-exhaust-mounting-bobbin.html

I had this happen years ago on an old Caterham of mine where bobbins used to fail every few years. Took me a while to work it out. Whats likely happening to you is that your exhaust pipe is not likely seated into the collectors all the way or some part of the exhaust is slightly out of alignment. Could even be the engine mounts out of alignment ever so slightly or failing. It will be subtle and not easily detectable visually. So what ends up happening, is that very slight misalignment is transmitting a shear load down the length of the exhaust onto the bobbin. They were not designed to take that given the angle they are mounted at and so fail early. Never had a bobbin fail on my CSR. Original 10 year old one still looks in good condition.

So Coronavirus has messed up all our motor racing events and so series have migrated to iRacing and sim racing platforms to continue the competition. It was with some skepticism, I received this video link. However, it is comedy gold. Setting the first corner slow motion to Chariots of Fire had me in tears.

:rofl:

I like them both. Something about green seems to suit the shape of a seven - whether it be the bold lime green or the classic darker British Racing Green - it just always works. And you both bought in the sweet spot of the range. 310/420 is a perfect spec for road driving without being too overpowered but can still enjoy a good track day when required. Very nice - congratulations to you both. So let me guess - it was agony choosing a spec with the multitude of options and selections available?

Its 189 cars after mine was built. I don't think so for a couple of reasons: - There are some condition questions yet to be answered - deferred maintenance? - Who knows where the market is today with all of the disruption? - Color plays a huge part in Ferrari values - who knows what a teal green will do? Seems strong right now - It does not have a CA BAR sticker while mine does - thats worth a lot It does have the manual and folder. Tool roll was there but not the tool case - I think? This car is still the least valuable v12 Ferrari model by a LONG way - its yet to be properly appreciated for its design. Auto transmission ones are sub-$50s So lots of factors that make me wonder what value this one will turn out. My best guess was $70-80k if COVID-19 were not around. Not sure now. Strong bidding action so I guess the colors are winners. 5 speeds are just so rare.

Excellent bit of good news for Squeegee and Jim - congratulations to you both! What spec did you both end up deciding on? Are these kits or rollers? Also, welcome to the USA7s forum Squeege!

Paul - which Tillett did you buy? Feel good to sit in?

I could use a mallet right about now. I have a few c.... ummm.... people that need a bit of work...

Great posts Skip and Ron! Very much enjoyed reading them.
