Ummmm . . . pretty much. :drool:

A Yugo! :smash:

My father once told me, "Once a man, twice a child". We all 'zero out' at some point. In early November of last year, he suffered—and survived—a heart attack. It was a reality check for me. On the day after Thanksgiving, he and I were out in his garage wrenching on his 39 Chevy gasser (I did most of the wrenching, but it was the bonding experience that counted). Later that day, we went to the airport and did some flying with a mutual friend. I can allow myself to be sad (and at times, I am) that his health is slowly waning and that our days together are truly numbered . . . or I can just smile, thank God for another memory, and ask him to pass me the 7/16” socket. Here's to my father, to fighting off the dreaded zero, and to living life to the fullest. :cheers: Here's a photo of my dad and my daughter taken that day.

Yep . . . I spoke too soon.

Somebody has too much time on their hands, yet here I sit, typing this.

Play ground . . . sewage disposal . . . now that's funny.

sporqster Hold out for the right money; deffinitely worth more than 4K. The world is full of people who want something for nothing; I've dealt with them and I've been one of them. The right buyer will show up. Grab a popcorn and coke and watch the show. :lurk:

If Ford and Lotus teamed up, could this be the all new . . . EUFORA??? :grouphug:

Have you posted this on the Birkin Group in Yahoo?

Thumbs up!!!! Keep us up to date. :cheers:

Here’s another ebay find (Birkin). No affiliation on my part. I’m not a paid club member, so if a paid club member wants to post this in a new thread, I’ll be glad to remove this post or have it removed my an administrator: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Super-Seven-2004-Birkin-S3-/251218019553?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619&forcev4exp=true

Ade. Hello from Arkansas and welcome aboard. Great looking car you have. :seeya:

Aesome! Big thumbs up for south AR. Absolutely a functional work of art! :cheers:

Sorry . . . just couldn't help myself. :ack:

Amen to that! :hurray:

If Lotus gets a look at this, they may decide to do a retro-ride for 2014! :cheers:

I've never been much of a Europa fan, but they are a part of the Lotus world and I can appreciate the car and especially the guys and gals that own and maintain them. From what I've read, Europa ownership is not easy.

First, change your name to George Barris. Second, purchase an outdated concept car for a mere $1.00. Next, invest an additional fifteen grand and fifteen days and transform the concept car into what will become an icon for one of the most well known and remembered television series of all time. Finally, sit on the car for most of your days and then sell it for $4.2M. George Barris + $1.00 + 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car + $15,000 + fifteen days of intense customizing + nearly fifty years of ownership + Barrett-Jackson sale = $4.2M. :smash:

Dang the luck. Had to get up before light and make my way over to Dallas. Well, at least I had a nice view to go with my coffee.

Hey, Z, Powder coat is definitely the way to go, especially when you are building a car of the caliber of your M-spec. My last three cars received PC; no regrets. The mach build is also a smart move. I'm a huge fan of mach builds and believe it's the best way to build a car. While it's not a se7en, I've posted a few pics below of a '26 track T that I built a few years ago. The build process was mach build, blow apart, powder coat, paint and then put it back together like a Monogram kit. You should start a thread in Member's Rides and keep everyone updated on your build. Also, do you have a Stalker V6 Gallery build site started? With the M-spec being relatively new to the family of se7en-style cars, I see lots of questions pertaining to M-spec builds floating around on the Yahoo Groups forum. I think several of those folks with questions frequent this site as well for information. Any info current builders can provide about the build experience/process of the M-spec can be invaluable to others as well as to new builders down the road.

M, How did you ever escape Hell-dorado?

Looks like the auction is on once again . . . anchor/large doorstop still included with the sale. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Replica-Kit-Makes-kit-Very-little-Lotus-7-kit-car-/200880233365?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2ec5651b95

This beast was once someone's pride and joy. I have to wonder if later on down the road someone will find my old worn out Stalker with its LS engine and write . . . back in the day . . . Now, Jack, about the farmer and his welder . . . :smilielol5:

Looks like a mixture of Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, Datsun 240Z and fifth gen Camaro . . . should be a home run for GM.
