rcollum Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 For the first time in a while, we had two Sevens at Katie's Cars & Coffee. This event, which runs every Saturday morning, always has interesting vehicles. Please note that we will hold an event for Lotus (including all Seven variants) here at Katie's on Sunday, September 20th. (We are holding the Lotus event on a Sunday to avoid the crowds of Katie's on Saturdays.) - http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?10692-GYLO-10-Get-Your-Lotus-Out-Sunday-9-20-15-(All-types-of-Sevens-welcome!) Michael D came out with his Caterham, and I brought mine. I include several pictures of other interesting vehicles from the morning. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Not from Katie's, but at the Sunday cars & coffee event at Dulles Landing, on 09/06/15. I figured folks here would appreciate a high-dollar custom like this Moal Aerosport. Built by Steve Moal, based on a 1936 Ford, it has a supercharged Thunderbird engine. --Bob Collum [ATTACH=CONFIG]9602[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9601[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9600[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9599[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcollum Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Sure thing, Michael - here are a few more from Saturday. Sorry, the ones I tried to take on Georgetown Pike didn't work. Is the alignment on your front tires OK? --Bob Collum [ATTACH=CONFIG]9604[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9605[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9603[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9606[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Sure thing, Michael - Is the alignment on your front tires OK? --Bob Collum [ATTACH=CONFIG]9606[/ATTACH] Either he's got a little toe out on that left side or he's set up for an oval track race. :rofl::seeya::seeya: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I have always found Michael a little toey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xflow7 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 This is seriously ironic. Just yesterday my wife and I took my Caterham to the Annapolis Cars and Coffee where a fellow we were chatting with said we really need to get over to Katie's sometime because he's never seen a Seven there! Unfortunately, I may be traveling on the 20th or I'd be at the Lotus event in a heartbeat. In any case, I hope to run into you other locals at some upcoming event soon.

FE07 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Michael, Can you add a Baltimoron to that list as well? I'll root for the Caps and Wizards No Redskins though. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi David - Good to see you are still around. You may not recall but you did meet Scott L and Michael D at the Gettysburg LOG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xflow7 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 MichaelD, you have PM. I actually sent two because I forgot my physical address the first time, but the second one doesn't seem to show in my Sent items. So let me know if you didn't get it. Hi Mike, I'm still around, but have been more in lurk mode lately for no particular reason. I do remember meeting the gang in Gettysburg, but would be hard pressed to put names with faces at this stage. I blame the CO and unburned HC's. :willy_nilly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Michael D and I had our Sevens at Katie's again this morning. I never did catch up with Michael, though! A big showing of various antique cars today, as well! --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Bob, I had to park so far in the back that you were not to be found by the time I walked back to your car and the coffee. What time do you get there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Ummm... 5:30AM... I typically don't stay beyond 8:30AM. Sorry I missed you! --Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 What a great morning in Great Falls, VA! It was cool and overcast, but we had a good amount of new-to-us cars, including some great Lotus... Only one Seven there today (mine). That's a Lincoln Zephyr-based hot rod, running a flat-12 with three carbs. This car was just finished. There is a pic of the mechanic, crawling into the trunk, to hydraulically drop the car. The switches inside the cabin were not yet working. They had a separate button to retract the rear license plate first, so the plate didn't get crumpled when the car dropped. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Great thread, keep those pix coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Did you get a picture(s) of the Zephyr's engine compartment? Please post if you do. I love flat head V8 and V12 engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
