Croc

....and the carbon rear light blocks, carbon front indicator pods, carbon sills, carbon mirrors, carbon nose cone spoiler, carbon cam cover, carbon diffuser, carbon.... I have also bought carbon from http://www.carbonmods.co.uk/ Have not seen their cycle wings though. Another dangerous website! :drool:

Yes. My previous seven used the mount sold by Sevens & Elans http://www.sevenselans.com/partsforsale.htm This page shows the mirror for sale but you can buy the windscreen mount separately. You can get the mirrors cheaper by ordering through any of the seven parts sites in the UK or Europe. The other UK popular option is to check out Blatchat by searching for Nifty mirror mounts. Not sure if these are still for sale but they allow use of the perspex side screen. For my current car the mount looks similar to the Sevens & Elans one but it was sourced through Caterham USA. I suspect they bought it from Sevens & Elans.

I believe Karl already has spent a fortune there! :jester: Resistance is futile! :blush:

Hi Steve - us eastcoasters can band together to negotiate a shipping discount. If we get enough we may fill a truck. This is the scenery I remember well from my drive up the Icefields Parkway and I bet a local like Terry can combine it with some brilliant backroads (no pressure Terry! ). http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/2009%20Rockies%20and%20Alaska/DSC_0105.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/2009%20Rockies%20and%20Alaska/DSC_0098.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/2009%20Rockies%20and%20Alaska/DSC_0122.jpg

Count me in please Terry!

I saw on the Blatchat that Terry has set the dates for the Grizzly Bear Blat: 6th August 2013 Meet Calgary 20th August 2013 End Vancouver Plenty of time to start thinking on how to get the seven there!

Gee Skip, you really are having a bad run of luck. Good luck working things through with the doctors and keep your spirits up!

125mph is the max of a Birkin??? No way - I would give it far more than that. Even the R300 I had at Silverstone made it to 135mph (or 138mph if you believe Caterham) and that was 35hp down on yours. It is good to hear that you have got your new Birkin behaving enough to drive it on a track - pity about the rain. I share your view on the CR500 tires - I love mine on the CSR.

Okay...so we know it was scary but what I would like to know is: 1) Was the car stable or all squirrelly and unsettled? 2) Were you at redline in 6th? I am sure Kitcat and Tom would like to know since they have never been that fast before .....although with Kitcat's new wheels he will now have a great opportunity to! We won't be able to hold him back!

For my current car I got lazy and bought them from Caterham. Not sure if it is online but when I was spec'ing the car, it was on some materials I got from Caterham.

An idea - Why not put together a clutch stop so that you are not changing mid air? I always have one installed in my past sevens for both throttle and clutch and prefer it.

Yes I can make it. I am out to Asia on 11/16 to 11/26 so a track day before that that will work. I will be in top form - I took some time out to visit Nurburgring in a rental seven for 20 laps. Wow...made a huge difference compared to the old Alfa 75 I rented previous trip. No pics sorry as some doofus left his camera at the hotel....

It is a great question Karl. I explored this past earlier this year when trying to find open dates for a track day. SCCA has banned seven type vehicles for at least 2 decades from what I was told. I think I might bite the bullet and sign up with PCA and get qualified with them. They do have a fairly good schedule of events and they have not attacked you so I should be fairly safe.

Tom - Once I get on the airplane on Sunday and escape Europe, I want to coordinate with you about joining you for a member day or two this year while I still have a chance to use the car. Are ring-ins allowed?

Now I get it, that is why he is called Twobone! Watch out for the love handles though, I imagine they are like speed humps?

Now that is a spotted! Its good to see my old car out and about. One of these days we will get Jude to write up his experiences on doing the longest seven drive home from NYC to Juneau!

A couple of ideas for mounting a plate if you have to. First one is what I did for the old yellow seven for which I could not get through inspection unless I had the mount: http://www.usa7s.com/vb/showpost.php?p=29251&postcount=18 Second option should I ever need to mount another front license plate is: http://skenedesign.com/FPBracket/index.shtml I figure I can get this to fit on the nose cone. However, for now I do not run a front plate on my current seven.

Ah yes but it is a little known fact that the second largest Greek city in the world is actually Melbourne, Australia.

I am the better looking one!

I can tell they stole the backdrop. It was taken at the Hyatt Jersey City on the Hudson river looking at Manhattan. Somewhat apt since the concept looks something like it emerged from the toxic sludge of the river. I think I would rather be seen in a Miata or a seven thanks.

Wow, I love the color combination - identical to mine! :cooldude:

Owned a 1994 Miata but eventually sold it a year later as it was not the most practical car in Maine. I replaced it with a Subaru Legacy Outback wagon which probably makes me a lesbian...

No rear wing as it screwed up front/rear balance (made the front light again) when we tested it in the wind tunnel. Still testing the wing when placed on the front like the Levante did.

That is a little harsh. We really do not know for certain that the guys in the brochure picture are called John or Steve. Maybe they are hairdressers from Santa Barbara called Serge and Rodney! :jester: Oh and for Martin (MHKflyer52) :rofl:

There is nothing like a good stereotype! :jester: http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv296/Keeba14/p2017_p-gaylesbian-vis-guid-tas.jpg
