BeSeeingYou

Great meeting you Tom. Glad y'all are enjoying her!

Sale consummated. Thanks for everyone's interest. I predict I will be back eventually. The 7 is just too much fun.

Kitcat, you are correct; a sale is pending. And yes, she runs quite nicely; drove her to and from work yesterday. Still a blast, just unfortunately now worth more to me gone than in the garage. Klasik-69, and others, I will respond ASAP. PLEASE NOTE: if for any reason, the current pending sale falls through, I will extend the SOLD price for 5 additional days [until August 17] to the folks who were kind enough to reach out to me in order of receipt of their PMs. Cheers! Be seeing you . . .

Regrets to all who have tried to reach me over the past couple of months. I had an extended family situation that took me away from most activities. Apologies for being rude. Please know that my S1 is still for sale, and thanks to all the many inquiries about her. For the next seven days only [through August 12], I am temporarily reducing the price by SOLD. Yes, that makes the price SOLD. This is a cash price, delivery and tax your obligation. Obviously, this will be much easier for California drivers, but it's open to all. After August 12, the price will go back to SOLD Reason? I have a short-term investment opportunity, for which cash is king. Anyway, hope all are well; great to see all the activity on this board. Be seeing you!

Heh, even my cat doesn't want me to sell the car.

BT, there is more play for shorter folks. If you're tall and all your height is in your legs, like me, there is not as much room in the pedal box as you might like.

Heh, speedwagon, I have a size 12, and it is a tad snug in there, but it makes for good control and heel-toe work. I have never shredded a tire, and I stay away from gravel, but your experience sounds a lot like mine. And my daughters had dibbs until I decided to sell. Good luck, and cheers!

Hey Bill: Actually, I don't seem to have that problem. When I park the car in the enclosed garage after a drive, it can smell gassy for a little while, but that dissipates after a few hours. But neither my ex nor my girlfriend ever complains about fumes, and my ex was notoriously scent-sensitive. She loved the car, and never complained about a residue scent on her or me. I occasionally drive the car to work, wearing my dress clothes [i put the suit coat in a garment bag in the trunk, and I swap my dress shoes for a pair of driving shoes I keep in the trunk]. No prob. Thanks for the good words.

Thanks Mondo. "Civilized" is a great word. I actually put money down on an Ultralight and a Caterham. But once I got into an S1, I was sold. Any of these cars are great fun, but the combination of the "aggressive" front end styling [the cowl shape and the lower elevation of the headlights that reduces the bug-eye look], and the lack of overt roll cage, makes the car appear more of a street sports car than other renditions. And while styling tastes can vary widely, I liked the design of the taillight pods. Cheers!
