Mike - thanks for assisting our veterans work through issues with the VA - very cool. Mike

Nice photo.

Sounds like fun! Wish I could have been there! Mike

Yikes! - wonder if the CF-18 was from the Snow Birds exhibition flying team?

You are correct sir. No comma after and, but acceptible in the example by the OP.

^lol!

perhaps we should ban capital letters and periods

It is gramatically correct either way. I prefer to use two commas.

This technique will surely impress the ladies.

Jason, You've made a lot of progress since I last saw Barry Bensen. Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear about your problems with the alternator. My 10-year old daughter officially renamed my Birkin "Cheryl". Because of my injury, I cannot work on the car, but have a couple of friends helping out. I'll post photos shortly. Mike

Jason, Can you have a bracket machined? Mike

Congrats! Enjoy your Fejer.

Lol!

Thanks! Could have been much worse. As it stands, I am in a brace for the next 12-weeks or so. Mike

Specifically, I fractured my T12 thoracic vertebra. I'll have my brace on through the end of September.

New carbon fiber fenders and dash arrived. Also got a cool rear diffuser. Problem is broke my back riding my mountain bike last Monday and I'm laid up for the summer!

My 10-year old daughter calls my car Cheryl. I introduce my car as a Birkin S3, but end up restating that it is a Lotus 7 replica.

I don't suppose I have a terribly good reason to swap out the engine. If I keep the ZX1, I do plan to put on a new fuel injection system. Thought there may be some real advantages to swapping out, but I suppose not. Appreciate the feedback and suggestions. Mike

I don't know what the differences are. I presume they engines share similiar DNA, but do not know what bits are interchangeable. I am interested in the newer ZX3 as it seems to have a wider variety of performance parts available due to the popularity of the Ford Focus.

Does anyone know how hard it is to swap out a Zetec ZX1 for a newer ZX3 motor? Do many of the components swap over (e.g. header)? I'm spitballing this idea now - if too difficult, will work with what I have. Mike

I drove my Birkin from Houston, TX to Colorado Springs, CO in sub-freezing weather with no mechanical issues besides having to replace a front lamp. Having said this, the ride was uncomfortable and I froze my tail off.

Nice photos

Now that's funny!

My comment was surely founded. I don't recall Republicans having a reputation for trampling on human rights. Which ones specifically? Aren't human rights based on morals and morality? What morals do Democrats support? And I must question whether or not they are really morals in the true sense of the word, or the ends simply justifying the means. I think the legions of Republicans out there squashing human rights must have been in some dystopian nightmare you had a while back. Speaking of nightmares, I've been having plenty ever since the ignorant masses elected our current president. :banghead:

Does anyone know how she will rule considering she woefully lacks any real legal experience? But here's the bitter truth on why I don't like her...because Democrats like her. Guess which side of the fence I sit on? Does that answer your question? Mike
