  1. Birkin won in South African court. Think I've got it somewhere... It's all greek to me, but section 23 caught my eye: [23] There is a small group of people w ho are passionate about old and inconvenient cars and who are prepared to buy a replica of a car 7 designed in 1968 in which the designer himself had lost interest in 1970. Caterham vs Birkin Legal Ruling.pdf
  2. Gently taking that display down will require a careful hand to prevent any bulbs from breaking whilst ensuing every thing is in place to erect it next year. sorry...
  3. I don't know about better roads- I've encountered evil frost heaves in NH. VT, the berkshires, and Catskills all get two thumbs up.
  4. I spotted a dark green / Yellow seven with clams (possibly caterham?) in Durham NH this morning. Was this anyone here, or do you know whom it may be? I thought I was the only one around NH with a seven. cheers P.
  5. Where are you located? I know of a guy in southern nh that would probably do it
  6. James Randolph at Crossover sorted the transport of my car from KY to NH over the Christmas holiday a few years ago: IIRC ~1k. The only issue i encountered was the 1 mile drive in NH on Jan 2nd necessitated by my narrow twisty road.
  7. Don't ask, I think it could be related to John Cleese's penguin
  8. Food for thought - after spilling gear oil I learned it's easier to: elevate the car on wooden timbers, then remove the prop shaft and lower the engine/gear box assembly onto a wheeled dolly. I've got a duratec birkin so this may not work as easily for you as me. just remember how good it'll feel to be back on the road again...
  9. I passed a 1948 Mk IV Jaguar this afternoon. Regrettably these are phone pictures but an interesting comparison of scale none the less.
  10. If you stop in Portland OR and are feeling homesick: the Horse Brass Pub used to have a killer lunch. Wish i could join you out west... Cheers P.
  11. I have a similar set up as you and ran without the oxygen sensor initially. After I got my wide-band sensor installed (haltech) the engine was much happier being able to operate in closed-loop mode. So from my perspective it's definitely worth while. p.
  12. Has the makings of a Darwin Award. Take care. And happy exterminating
  13. Sadly I have to return to NH
  14. Regrettably my Sunday plans no have moved up so I won't be able to join the drive (was really really forward to it too)
  15. It's still Early days... I plan to leave nh in the am (provided the forecast doesn't change) and then play it by ear. Sat or sun either way I'm bailing on other plans. I expect its the weekend for you guys so why not wait and see how things look fri pm or sat am?
  16. I'm optimistic about Saturday, but Sunday is still promising... If Thursday cooperates i'll be in orange county with my birkin waiting for the rain to stop this weekend.
  17. Bruce If Saturday is rained out, will you push to sun 10am or scratch the blat altogether? p.
  18. S1 can you pm me your cell# in case I get lost on my way down. So long as the Currently favorable forecast doesn't deteriorate, I'll be there P.
  19. I might be a definite maybe? Biggest factor is wether the weather cooperates that week. I'm trying to daisy chain the Milford blat onto another long blat there are just too many variables. Fingers crossed P.
  20. I found that a newton filler cap lets me get the nozzle further into the car and doesn't leak when closed with a full tank
  21. I encountered this issue also. My current fix was to enlarge the sensor hole in the aluminum plate to accept a rubber grommet from my local hardware store. The ATS snugly screws into the rubber which holds it in place without the need for a retaining nut. So far this is working for me.
  22. I got mine from TMW. Practically speaking it may be easier to find a good welder/fabricator to ensure a good custom fit.
  23. Mike I expect this could be an insurance in NJ vs. insurance everywhere else issue. My dd insurance in NHL was different than everywhere else
  24. Bill The birkin should have a frame number in two places: the passenger side diagonal front brace, and i beneath the roll bar mount. Congrats on the new purchase Edit: - it looks like Bernie already replied
  25. has several examples. The best price was through Amazon but required searching for the custom dynamics item#. So far i'm very pleased with my installation which made for a good weekend project: 1) drill two 1/8" holes on either end of LED for wires. 2) Feed wires down both sides. realize this is inconvenient. rearrange wires through roll bar to both come out driver side. spend an inordinate amount of time finding the right size weatherproof connectors. 3) solder all wires together so the connectors align and fit through the hole beneath my roll bar. 4) connect to wiring harness - And bob's your uncle.... please post your results when your done.
