My se7en

[chrisf]

Hi All:

 

I'm a new member who found you guys by way of Keith Tanner. He posted to the yahoo group regarding the Tail of the Dragon gathering you guys are doing in July--which I really hope to be part of.

 

I don't have a real Lotus 7, but I do have a locost that I built in my garage by myself with simple hand tools and $10k. It uses Miata components and a Honda CBR900RR motor. I documented my build at >www.fiaccone.com It's not really a traditional car, but it turned out exactly how I wanted.

 

Anyway, I wanted to stop by and introduce myself.

 

--Thanks, Chris

Chris, welcome aboard! - and Keith, thanks for spreading the word.

 

 

 

I'll add your site to our links page. Great looking car.

Dude, you're famous! Saw your ride in the CandD article (still looking for a print version for my archives...funny how you can't buy an Aug issue in August anymore).

 

 

 

Know that you NEVER have to preface your statements with "I don't have a real Lotus" here. From what I've found, USA7s is 10000% inclusive and not elitist/snobbish at all. If you've got a LSiS/4-wheeled motorbike, you are welcome. Very interested in your bike motor.

 

 

 

Hope you can make it to the event. I think it's going to be great. Note that a few folks from Tx are already signed up. You might want to coordinate with them for a road trip.

Terriffic car, it must have been a lot of fun to build it. I missed the sevens festival this year, maybe see your car next year.

 

Like Al said, there is nothing to apologize for, you have a seven. Lotus stopped building Lotus Sevens years ago. Notice I didn't say Real Sevens, since as as far as I am concerned, they are ALL sevens, no matter the marque.

 

ps Check out the post in Nationwide events, maybe you can make it to Run N Gun this year.
