My kinda traffic jam! Rob

Go Laura Go! Al you might have to install an "oh my god" bar in the passenger side dash. Rob

:lol: BTW: these calculators were the HP of their day. $$$$$ on eBay. Rob

Thanks! Rob

While doing a search for mechanical calculators .. I came across this calc .. which has a reputation for being used by rally racers back before the invention of the electronic calc. They were used for calculations of time trials, distance, fuel use, etc. Very popular with the rally racers of the '50s through the '70s. Handheld and looks like a small pepper grinder.

The Simple Digital System EM-4E ECU is about $1100 alone and nice! Rob

Spit and polish looks good! Stock Toyota is reliable and parts are going to be easliy available ... Toyota is why I chose my Rotus. I'd say .. Drive IT! Take a spare gas can too. Rob

At ToTD Kevin talked about how much he loves Road Atlanta .. maybe not as much now .. This reminds me how much I get po'd when people hit the brakes while driving on the interstate highways .. totally unnecessary. I hope you get the car back together soon! Rob

Note: I grabbed all the pics and description off eBay to archive it here. Often I want to show these pics .. and I always have a tough time finding them in the old posts .. so I am reposting them here.

What are we in line for ?? [Rob trying to see around Jim and Steve] :cheers:

At the ToTD I saw many cars that had this type of hood latch. Well after checking the US-Caterham site and some internet searching I have learned that they are called Bonnet Toggles in the UK and made by Grayston and come in long and short lengths. GE64 and GE65. Zinc Chrome or Black. I just need to confirm the dimensions. Rob http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070323_021252_latch.jpg

Last night I drove my Rotus Seven to work .. and returned home this morning. I always wear the foam ear canal plugs to protect my hearing .. but for part of Saturday I experienced a persisting ringing .. I've been told by an audiologist that the foam ear plugs are the best .. Maybe my car's carburetors and muffler are too loud! Maybe I need to use both the plugs and a noise cancelling headset? Rob

I had you in mind when I wrote that item. Rob

Well of course! The used scales are near you .. BTW. See my edited post above. Rob

I just checked eBay .. There is free shipping for Longacre scales on eBay .. and one listing: used set (discontinued) of model 7250 for $499. (Located in Alexandria, VA.) Rob

Welcome to the Club JBH! I hope that the Seven fits you well! Rob

You had a great event at Helen! Thanks for the pics. Yes .. We need to have an event in N Georgia this fall! Rob in Atlanta

Nice pics there .. zeefoto at Tapoko Lodge Rob

Price ?? Who knows? Anything like this on eBay? I can see them shipped to various meets around the country. Rob

:rofl: Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA (not too far from you!)

bump

Want to start a separate thread about the Stalker meet at Helen, Ga? Pics?? Rob

Welcome Kirk! They do?? I thought that was a joke .. when someone posted about A/C in a Seven a while back! That kinda luxury seems contrary to the experience of a Seven. Rob
