  1. Oscar, Could that word have meant something other than the brand name, or a DMV term for a vehicle that is not the norm? Just a thought.
  2. I have to agree Tom, I would say it looks Caterham all the way to me.
  3. biggest fkn "7" I ever saw
  4. It just reminded me of .. Girl being interviewed by police after stalker exposure.. " So Miss did he have an erection"? " No , it was definitely a blue Ford Cortina".
  5. Reminds me of some years ago while out on a drive in the 7 to Costco to return a pair of earrings that were not liked by the missus, she calls ands asks me to pick up toilet paper, as you know this is Costco so it is not one but about 562 rolls in a poly pack( or so it seemed later)...anyway bought them not thinking about cargo space limitations of a 7 versus a Tahoe, upon getting back to the car I had the bright idea of taking them out of the poly wrap and stuffing the individual rolls wherever I could, it was a brilliant plan....until I hit 53 mpg at which point many of them decided to become alive and began bouncing around like drunken ping pong balls before finally jumping overboard in all directions. I was too embarrassed to go back and pick them up.

  7. Ok.. originals... Great thing about these was the faster you rode the brighter they got.( on a bike of course). Of course that did not me much when all of my Lucas lights failed in a 1959 Frog Eye in Harlech, North Wales late at night in the summer of 1973, longest 27 miles I ever drove; and probably why the love of my life moved on soon after. Lucas was often a total bastard. Vanessa Yarwood I still love you.

  9. That is where I saw the one they have for sale, I never saw one on the road tho.
  10. Anyone ever owned or driven one?
  11. was there a reason for the Saturn engine?
  12. "The little wicker works great!" what is that?
  13. I agree with all but the last comment !
  14. Nice car, great combo. I want to ask how those side mirrors attach? Thanks
  15. That really is a credit to you Al, and Morgan, you should think about turning pro! Great, great picture. Was there a practical reason for the bubbleback wheel design?
  16. "Slow Mo",how do you know it is a nice car at a great price if you have not even seen it let alone driven it> and then "KitKat" : "lurkers it is a great deal"..well maybe, maybe not, I think the praising of cars unknown can be just as dangerous as the ripping of cars unseen.
  17. Love to see some pics
  18. Not sure Matt, I tried the email add, which does not work, then a message a long time ago,nothing back, I think others here have not had much luck either in contact,in any event does not inspire confidence to a potential buyer..
  19. sorry to hear that neck and back pain are as bad as it gets. I know many on have said that the stock Birkin seats are torture, have you tried changing out? In any event, wish you the best. Growing old sucks, well except for the fact that you can say whatever you want.
