Sorry to hear about the Tahoe, it did it's job and sacrificed itself to protect you, the passenger though.......Keep that in mind. Also, it may or may not be totaled, unless it's age related......When I still had my bodyshop, I fixed worse. Bill

Having dealt with major overseas related companies either importing or exporting their goods for close to or over 30 years, I can tell you they pad their pricing for such an occurrence (some have confidentially told me in the past up to 40% in some cases). Some will eat some of the losses, others will pass only part of it to you the consumer, others will keep their quiet profit and pass along to the consumer so as to not affect their bloated bottom line(s).

I do not recommend Uship, I'm still getting calls, emails, and texts asking if I'm ready to ship a car I have not owned for 14 years. As far as one way rentals, yet, Uhaul will rent you just a trailer if you have a vehicle in which they deem safe to tow it with. Ford Explorers, regardless of year are prohibited, anything weighing less then the trailer and vehicle you plan to town on it are also prohibited. Class III hitch required, along with wiring for their running, turn, and brake lights. Me personally, I'd rent one of the smaller box trucks to tow their trailer, spend a few extra dollars on their insurance for the same, and be done with it. I have towed their trailers one way with two (2000 & 2023) Expeditions, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee (2001) without an issue.

The SV on BAT was originally listed here: Only driven on the weekends to go to the Supermarket

They added a buy it now to the listing, don't see it sold or marked unavailable

In defense of the OP's statement, we had a 3 hour delay of our flight in December 2010 due to snow, sleet, and freezing rain at the Tampa airport. You think SC people panic, you would have thought the world was physically coming to an end that day. Bill

Damn, that was a good one Oh wait, too soon

A tough room to read, perhaps change your tactics

I had a full deck 18' Worthington back in the 90's, sold it and bought a Trailex at the time, the one they call a 911 trailer CT-7551

Do you have specs on the trailer you have, or was it a one off custom build?

Sorry, this is a news story that has already run it's course in regards to the suggested target, I'm really thinking if there was anything that implicated Trump, the Democrats would have leaked it long before the election cycle ran it's course. After all, they had all of the files for years prior.

Caterham states 4" wider, another 4" longer in the passenger compartment Here is a thread from 2017 on the subject, a search of the archives shows other comparisons between a S3 (standard chassis) and a SV (wider, slightly longer chassis)

Politics sucks It does nothing but divide the people of the country United we prosper, divided we fail Ask yourself, who wants to stir the pot and see us fail? I'll leave it at that.

Car has been sold to an owner also in SC

Yes, at this time, still available, happy to show it to you up close and in person.

As stated earlier, sorry, no trades

SWMBO has decided she does not want to drive any of our convertibles any longer, she will occasionally go for a ride, but even that is becoming farther apart than it used to be.Preferring the 70 Shelby or her 2.5L Ford Duratec powered Miata GT if nothing else. I'll be brutally honest, since "we" are not using it as much as "I" would like, same with our 05 Corvette convertible (22,700 original miles, less than 300 miles in the last year), both went up for sale on their appropriate sites. Once one goes, then I'm back to not having to juggle cars to get something out (everything goes out the door my Expedition is parked in front of), which will take some of the pressure I'm feeling off, although eventually, both will go. I've attached a shot of the current parking situation so you understand what I'm talking about. Any other questions, just let me know, as others will tell you, I'm not shy about sharing the good, bad, or in this case sheer indifference. Bill

I've used them in some of my Cobra replicas, you will absolutely love them. Bill

https://tc.canada.ca/en/road-transportation/importing-vehicle/importing-older-vehicles-canada The bottom line with Trans Canada importation is the paperwork, or the paper trail from birth to import. If you have this information, yes, it is my understanding working with Cobra replicas, a 15 year old or older Caterham can essentially be imported as a running, driving vehicle. Where you get in to trouble, as many Cobra replica buyers in Canada have found out, it is not what the car is titled as (IE: 1965 Ford 2dr convertible in some cases with Cobras), but the original manufacturers documentation showing the date of manufacture. The above link will give you the basics, warnings as well about rebuilt or RHD (depends on the providence). They also specifically give you the following: "For vintage replica vehicles, the age is assessed using the final date of completion of the replica, not the model year it replicates. If an importer is unable to provide valid proof of age to establish a vehicle’s non-regulated status, CBSA officers will assess a vehicle for importation according to normal guidelines, which can result in its denial at the Canadian border if the vehicle does not comply." This may or may not come in to play, as Caterham is not building replicas, but ongoing production of their cars. So, depending on your local providence, you might be able to import a 15 year old Caterham after all. Your best bet is to contact your local authorities and see if they will allow the car on the road once it is imported. Have I gone full circle yet? Bill

I was having withdrawal symptoms at 5:30am

I'd not worry about the tariff on a sub $50 part from a private seller as it is not really a car part, but a wall decoration which is not subject to tariffs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177342873102 and https://caterhamparts.co.uk/nosecones/27-grille-nosecone-s3-7-logo-grey.html

I've been around FFR since the very beginning, assisted in building a single digit MK I, so I post the following with a little history with the company: Like the FFR GTM, Spyder (I owned and finished the original Silver prototype), and now the 818, they are an acquired taste. More than 60% of the owner/builders sell them off in quick fashion, or end up selling them off still in kit form, both unbuilt at all, or unfinished. Bill

Might want to re-edit here with an asking price

I realize this may be a bit out of the ordinary, but my 03 RHD UK spec Caterham SV is by all accounts considered and was originally sold as a "Super Seven", however, with the 210hp Caterham USA spec motor, I've been asked by several potential buyers what the modern equivalent would be. 310, 360, or 420? If I go by HP, given the current spec on the Caterham site it would be between the 360 and 420 does this sound right given it's a Zetec and not a Duratec driveline? More power to weight at this point, as a modern version would be a "S" Street Pack equipped car. Can anyone sort this question out for me? As always, thanks in advance Bill
