Croc

Weight is before engine and gearbox, seat, tail shaft, harnesses, fluids, etc. so once you add that in then we are back to the regular expected weight. It definitely looks like a CMC from the photos. No idea how many they made but they seem to pop up with frequency as you note. When did CMC go out of business?

Spending more on tires is a wise safety choice. Even so I think I am safe in recommending since She of The Purse Strings is on the other side of the continent from me right now.

LOL on the Crocs I would definitely give them a try. I like the ZZR but they are not the greatest in the wet. I street and track them. Yes they wear out quickly if you use them hard but we are driving performance cars so it seems appropriate. So the ZZS would appear to be a nice compromise as their wet grip is much better and it still is a performance tire. They are also lighter weight than many comparable tires. Roger Krause is usually my tire sounding board and they are a fan of the Avons on sevens.

The Hudson river valley (NY) has a number of sleepy river towns (e.g Rhinebeck, Hudson) and stately mansions (e.g. Olana) that are worth inspecting. The Roosevelt family estate and Presidential Library in Hyde Park NY are worth seeing. If you stop in at Beacon NY you can check our Karl's (Blubarisax on here) craft bourbon distillery (he makes other spirits and I personally like his gin best) Harley Davidson do factory tours in York PA. Lancaster PA has a strong Amish community around it. The market in Lancaster is just lethal to your waistline with Amish baked goods.

Have you thought about wooden clogs? Very stylish. Can be painted nice bright primary colors. Very visible as you ease your way glacially around the autocross course. :troll: I am a fan of the Avon ZZR in 13 inch wheel sizes. But they maybe too fast for you?

Some people will say it is not rock but Chris Rea owns a 620R...

Updates for this week http://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-Replica-Kit-Makes-Brunton-Stalker-V6-/232306899747?hash=item361691fb23:g:lEsAAOSwnHZYcSDe&vxp=mtr This next ad is in Canada. While the seller is enthusiastic and the seven looks great, I would not want to buy it and import it to the US while arguing it is over 25 years old and import restriction free since it says 1986 Toyota Corolla on some piece of paper when some doofus customs chick at the border will know it is anything but when she does her visual inspection.

Lesson: engage brain before typing. While the owner is exceptional he is not for sale. Sorry Skip

Another exceptional car and owner for sale. I recall my CSR shake down visit to CO in 2012 and going on a group drive in the canyons with Skip. He disappears into the outer reaches of the universe at warp speed and I am left pussyfooting along at a modest limit on an unfamiliar road. It is breathtakingly quick and beautifully engineered - the workmanship is obvious on close inspection. This is one remarkable seven up for grabs.

OMG! :willy_nilly: Jerry - you are selling out? You are one of the originals - you can't leave!

I just responded to your PM but the answer is yes a standard broker would likely have vehicle import experience with regular vehicles. No reason why you need a high end valuable historic vehicle import guy. All my invoices are buried in boxes thanks to a home renovation so cannot check the numerous various fees to give you an estimate but you really need to get the estimate from the broker you plan to use in the port you are shipping to. Dont forget there is an import tax on that value of the car too.

I am bored in an airport waiting for my flight which inevitably has been delayed for 4 hours.

I am going to be sad to see this car part with its owner. I have had many happy times chasing or being chased around the track by this seven with Michael at the wheel. The remarkable thing is that Michael still uses it frequently as a daily driver. Good luck with the sale and I hope you enjoy your new car. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/seats/CSR/2015%20Sevens%20Event%20at%20NJMP/WSPS-untitled-N.J.M.P.%20Drivers%20Club%20July%204th%20Track%20Day%20%20BBQ%20July%202015-0352_zpsqydxp5pc.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/seats/CSR/2015%20Sevens%20Event%20at%20NJMP/WSPS-untitled-N.J.M.P.%20Drivers%20Club%20July%204th%20Track%20Day%20%20BBQ%20July%202015-0010_zpssgs8niqn.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/seats/CSR/2015%20Sevens%20Event%20at%20NJMP/WSPS-untitled-N.J.M.P.%20Drivers%20Club%20July%204th%20Track%20Day%20%20BBQ%20July%202015-0166_zps3labsuif.jpg Michael - I saw your phone calls on my cell this week. Will call tomorrow once I land from Europe.

I think Dave is on the right track - the symptoms exactly match when I trigger mine from time to time. It should be under the bonnet mounted on the firewall. It looks like a little black rubber button

Michael - Did you mean to post this here instead of the for sale forum?

And by the way thats 18 cars that will be in attendance at the track.

Definitely does not give me a woody.

Bruce - do you have photos to show people? Your car is one of the most immaculately presented and maintained cars I have seen and people really should see that. I may have some old ones on my photobucket site or I can host them on there if you want to email them to me offline. Cheers mike

You? Pressure? Passing? :rofl::rofl::rofl: I think thats your problem - I gave up caring who I passed or passed me years ago apart from you and your stone chip cloud that follows you around. :troll: I have you noted for the Monday - I have not got any approvals back from NJMP on that yet.

So Tom, this would not happen to be for a special customer near me called Steve? What color is it going to be?

Hi Graham Its still end of March and you have 3 months to go. This is peak time for selling houses given the corporate hiring cycle so be positive it will take place (says the person taking a year to renovate a kitchen....:banghead: ). If you want to bring your car over early, I have storage for your car in my garage and a secure trailer parking spot. Then all you do is fly in or drive in and enjoy the track time and drive it on to MD at the end. cheers mike Hi Dave - Looking forward to seeing you and Bev again! :seeya:

Its yet another case of where the ad lets the car down. I suspect it is probably a well sorted car based on the description. But I should not have to suspect....

The search engine was a search script on my laptop that hunted through eBay and Craigslist. But then Google changed their search functionality to limit searching by a single search.
