When you start picking on your own kind, that has to be the worst case of low self esteem that I have ever seen. :toetap05: Either . . . . . they are both going under the bus. :smilielol5: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! :party: WISH I OWNED A PORSCHE . . . . . LET THE UMBRAGE BEGIN!!!!!! :jester:

Chris, That looks great! Maybe I should have kept the Birkin. :jester:

I'll throw an :iagree: in there for 'cool' factor.

Pics, details, etc. A link for viewing the car if one is available :iagree:

Great looking ride! Could you yank out the Predator and shoehorn in a Busa motor? :ack: Of course, might want to strengthen that frame a tad more. :jester:

I wonder if any other 7-ish forums are experiencing the same influx of interest. I’m sure a few of those folks are legit and truly attracted to the lure of cars and community. In the mean time, I’ll grab the butter; I like my :spam: fried. :jester:

I'll heat up the stove.

. . . . . . :ack:

Skip, That's another excellent example of superb craftsmanship! :hurray:

That's certainly different. :rofl: I'd like to take a closer look at the car. In one of the photos, the upper A-arm looks to be bent rearward. :ack:

Well, my Storker does have two seats and a warmed-over Z06 engine. :Chevy_anim: And some of the body components are made of fiberglass; all that has to count for something in the world of bow ties. But I'll have to continue working on the snobbery; not a single thing about my car screams Porsche or BMW. Wait!!!! Here comes a bus!!!! :jester:

I know I'm stating the obvious, but that's a fantastic looking engine bay! Two thumbs up on that one.

Will do.

LOL!!!! :iagree:

I've never owned a Vette, Porsche or a BMW . . . . . Does that make me a purest?

Hey, Mike. Murphy's flying me plenty; just not much else to do in Eldo if you don't hunt or fish. . However, baseball season is kicking off, so I'll be knee-deep in the middle of that with my son.

Do Ferrari owners even know we exist? :jester:

LOL!!! And just when you have me convinced otherwise. :smilielol5: . . . . . . :cheers:

Somebody pass me a butter knife . . . I'll spread my own Grey Poupon, thank you very much! And while I'm at it, I'll beat my own drum, too. Yep . . . ATTITUDE . . . gotta love it. :iagree:

No, that makes you one of the guys with the most toys. :auto: "If you can't laugh at yourself, you can't laugh." I resemble that remark. "Most Vette owners are cheap bastards & drive like old ladies." It's their loss. "Most Porsche guys have an attitude....and really drive slow." It really is their loss. "I belong to both a Corvette & Porsche club." Don't tell the guys on this forum; you know how they feel about cheap and slow. :jester: "Vette guys think I'm friggin nuts for wanting to race." That's because they've probably never owned, or even driven, a 7. "Porsche guys think I lack finesse." Merely grasping at straws; an attempted slam at something they can't even begin to fully understand until they get behind the wheel of a 7. I call that :bs: "Seven guys think I'm weird for owning Vettes & Porsches." Owning Vettes (plural) and Porsches (again, plural); wish I had your 'weird' issues. "I love speed, I love HP & I love fast cars." Yep, I resemble that remark also. "Ok, I feel like I got kicked in the teeth and thrown under the bus." As for buses and teeth kicking, you're not alone. I read this on the locost forum today. I'll just give you the bus n' teeth part; "The sad part is that you have got to have a pretty nice Locost to get north of $10K. To sell at $16K or above is virtually unheard of, no matter what condition the car is in. I wish it weren't so, but unfortunately that is the case. It is not a Caterham nor a Birkin or even a Stalker." Yeah, the not 'even a Stalker' part kind of got to me . . . . then I moved on. :cheers:

I went back and reread it; blacked out about half way through . . . . drugs might be easier. :iagree:

If you are like me, you love your Brooklands and wouldn’t part with them and simply choose to live with the wind that finds its way underneath the opening. In an effort to block said wind between the Brooklands and the scuttle, I came up with the idea of placing something in front of the opening; yes, I know . . . a very ‘not-so-original’ idea :toetap05: . . . . But still. So, what I did :smash:, while perhaps not the most attractively aesthetic mod, was to use a hood scoop (see build file link below) originally designed for an outlaw sprint car and transform it (some of it . . . . very little of it) into ‘Brooklands Windscreens Wind Deflectors’; yep, a lot of time and energy went into coming up with that name, and name and product are entering into copy write and patent as I type. :jester: But seriously, the mod is very simple and completely effective at deterring the unwanted wind. This is one mod where I personally (highly) favored function over form. So, if you have Brooklands and want to ‘cut’ some wind . . . . :ack: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=25040

How the Ivory-billed woodpecker became extinct. :smash:

That's thing is just pure evil. :devil:
