  1. Busted! I suspected you might try and beat/match Kitcat's record of having three cars. or not???? All joking aside, a HUGE thanks to you and Tom for organizing this event. Next year I'll bring my Birkin, and give Roman and Mike a run for the record. p.
  2. My Birkin was ~1275 when weighed at the local quary (without spare tire, gas, extra junk i usually drive with, OR DRIVER) - actual results my vary with driver & setup.
  3. even if you move or sell the car out of state?
  4. Beware of crocodiles in the lake

    Radio Flyer

    It's not a seven but looks fun.
  6. I know a locost builder with BCNU unfortunately the reference is lost on most people
  7. Very nice, The low angle of the windshield catches my eye: compared to the birkin which is almost vertical. Are those RPF01 wheels?
  8. Skip All bleeding stops, eventually so you needn't worry about the tourniquet
  9. Don't give up hope.. one of these might work nicely in Mass.
  10. Very nice! Must be using clams to handicap the Storker?
  11. Does anyone know if Caterham Clams are easily adaptable to a Birkin? Or would it just cause my car to have an identity crisis? p.
  12. Blokko fyi: While New Hampshire does not have a sales or income tax (unlike most states), you still have to pay road tax & registration fees. So while it is less costly to purchase a car in NH, you still get hit with taxes. Registration is done through each town clerk's office. Some have web page estimators of your registration fees and road tax you can look up. cheers p.
  13. How about some mail order custom mixed se7en aluminum cleaner???
  14. I Don't know but my 4.11 is sitting on the garage floor if you need measurements. p.
  15. Cheers! I can't claim to be one myself. But come from a long line of boffins - and feel your pain watching this.
  16. A video about engineers in the corporate world.
  17. Blokko NH may be easier for you. It somewhat depends on whether your car has an OBDII plug, but this may not be an absolute requirement (confused yet? I live here and am still confused). Rhode Island is within (non-commuting) range of Boston, however I don't know if they are any easier than in MA. Hang in there and don't give up on your dream. Have you spoken with Chris at Sevens & Elans? cheers P.
  18. Thanks for the info everyone. My haltech engine harness looks like your picture: nice & neat with heat shrink and braided sleeve. The birkin chassis wiring is wrapped up in tape - and will stay that way unless i get really motivated. cheers. p.
  19. Slightly off topic.. - i've noticed in the above picture, and my Birkin, the loom wires are wrapped in electrical tape. Is there a better/cleaner option? Can anyone comment on the "liquid tape" sold in stores? Or am i just being anal-retentive seeing issues where they don't exist? cheers P.
  20. I must confess... I swapped my Birkin nose badge for a lotus badge after becoming fatigued with questions every time i stopped for gas. As a consequence i get to look at the Birkin badge on my desk where it's been sitting ever since
  21. I second this. I view it as sacrificial and intended to bend/break to absorb an impact. But after My sump guard ate a rock last year I don't welcome the replacement cost. Your friend did a nice job punching & bending the holes. how much space did he leave between the sump guard and oil pan?
  22. Sure. looks like you meet rule #1 or 3. cheers p.
  23. I recently learned there are an abundance of Loti (plural of lotus ??) in the southern NH area (ie. more than myself). Enough even to start a loosely organized club of sorts. As the self appointed dictator of this group (LLL / Lamprey Lotus Lounge) I am looking for any and all interested people. Just PM me your e-mail address to be added to the mailing list and hopefully we can organize something later this spring/summer. Keeping with the spirit of USA7s there are three rules to start with: 1) No car necessary to join but an interest in lotus 7 inspired cars is recommended. 2) Group activities and focuses are primarily burning gas, sitting around talking shop, her helping one other out, and anything else there is interest in doing. 3) As always no one cares which brand/make/HP/cost/etc... your car is, they're all great. Cheers P.
  24. I love the ingenuity of Locost builders. AND even though he couldn't drive far plates were on in the basement!
  25. ??? missing link
