Those inserts in the top of the seats cover up the receiver for headrests .. that you can get from Caterham @ http://www.rmsci.com Those seats are pretty comfortable .. Rob

Haha! I connected that function to strobe when I honk the horn! Rob

I have these cool Muth Signal Mirrors which I modified for my Rotus 7 .. to work as brakelights, backup signal, and horn flashes .. worked great for 3 years now ... until .. .. yesterday the control circuit box started messing up signaling a left turn at the same time I am signaling a right ... and other wierdness .. drat! So I checked eBay last night .. and sure enough .. another control module is there for half price! $60! Hurray! Well I only paid $1 for the first one three years ago! Not the lightest mirrors .. but with this module they make my Rotus 7 have FIVE brakelights!

Wow! Nice pic with the TECH tower in the background! You should have a poster made of that pic! Nice concise write-up .. Although the guy in Tucker recognized your car as a Locost .. there's no mention in the accompanying article .. and your http://www.gatechlocost.com and http://www.wreckracing.com is missing too .. at least the 7 grill and car profile give it away to those alumni who are aware of the Lotus 7. Still killer PR! Congrats Andrew! I mean DAMN! :party: Rob

At a car show last night in Tucker, GA, I was talking with a Ga Tech Alumnus who upon seeing my Rotus mentioned your Locost .. and knew about it from a "nice" write-up in the GA Tech Alumni mag! Way to go Andrew!

Nobody appreciates classic cartoons anymore ... Cartoon Network is junk! Rob

I too haven't driven my car since LOG .. I just mastered the art of syncronizing and tuning dual carburetors! So I got my car out of the barn and ran it over to the mega ACE hardware store .. I always park it right in front of the entrance. Fun watching all the attention it gets from all the patrons and the employees who gotta get a good look! Then disturbed a few quiet peaceful neighborhoods as I drove on some shady backstreet twisties ... Gotta love the sound of dual carbs! Next over to my community pool for a quick swim .. Some kids asked to get some pics! Ended up at the assisted living place where my inlaws live! Got my 87 yo mother-in-law in the passenger side and took her for a quick run .. she was holding her hearing-aids in her ears the whole time! Great day in hotlanta! Rob

Just a note to say thanks and that the two tan Caterham seats look great in my Rotus. Thanks! I mounted the seats to steel bars bolted to the bottom of the car. Rob

Time will tell ... Rob

Yeah .. I understand your frustration ... I made the mistake of handing my car over to a Rotus mechanic who kept me waiting for one year .. Then working on my car (and another car) .. (in my spare time) that kept the car off the road for another year .. I've owned my 1981 Rotus for four years now and driven it very little .. I finally got the carbs sync'd and tuned just right .. yesterday .. Rob

Yeah .. when I want to use my slide rule .. I look to the RHCP for inspiration! BTW: Dont Mess with BUZZ: http://www.usa7s.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2827&highlight=buzz+aldrin And last year the MythBusters TV show had an entire episode dedicated to debunking the Moon in a soundstage studio myth nonsense .. Rob

Damn thing fell off AGAIN where it was glued to the glass :banghead: .. .. Might splurge on a mirrors for sevens .. Rob

I'm not totally happy with my LED bar that I paid too much for on eBay .. but it does shine brightly .. and I drilled holes for the wire which runs down the inside of the rollbar. If I had known of the Wolo bar I would have bought it ... lower profile than my LED bar .. And I have a BackOFF circuit wired to it to make it flash .. Rob

40 years ago today .. Apollo 11 launch .. leading to the landing on the 20th. I was 7 yo .. and we were on vacation .. and in a motel room watching the live coverage .. Rob
