That happened to me during last 6 month when I painted the whole car. I planned 1-2 month and took me 6! But after finishing, all I can say is I would do it again... :hurray:

I know these guys, They are members of the Lotus Seven Club in Uruguay (me too). I Also know Richard and I met him in a meeting. Thanks a lot!

The whole race consist of a 1000 miles (not really 1000, it was 1300km) mainly on public roads. There were 2 special primes in kart tracks, but only a few laps!!! This kind of races are not about top speed, it is about average speed (almost always around 60 miles) where the winner is the one who is close to the indicated speed! I know I need a taller roll-over, because of the one fitted (too short) I was almost prohibited from racing this kart track!!!

This is my Lotus seven clone. The project started some years ago and I finished it in 2009. The chassis is a clone of a Series 3 Lotus made in Argentina by the same factory that build seven's in the 70s under the Lotus rights. (Did you know there are orignal Lotus made in Argentina?) The car is powered by a fiat twin cam engine. This picture was taken during last weekend in a 1000 miles competition inside a kart circuit where we really enjoy the car and according to our stopwatch beat the time of every other car! http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8822/img0678vz.jpg[/img]
