So, tell us a little about yourselves

Hello.  New member from St Louis, MO. I just ordered a 420R SV from Josh at RMC. I drove out to meet Josh and test fit cars and seats yesterday. It was the first time I had seen one of these cars in person.

Welcome.... I bought an older model sight unseen.... liked it so much I bought another one...an r400.  Fantastic cars for driving as it should be.

Josh is a straight shooter btw.... we've dealt professionally over a few things.  He set my r400 up for the street.

What kind of time frame is it for a new build?

Josh thought Oct build slot and maybe delivery by the of year. But I think I’m still waiting for confirmation on the time frame. I’m hoping I can then get it built and registered by the end of spring, but I guess we’ll see. Maybe by mid-summer I have a half-built car I’ve given up on. 🙃

Welcome! I ordered in early Dec from Josh and mine is done but sitting waiting on a container. You’re going to have a lot of fun!!

Josh is a great guy, you're in good hands.  The wait is PAINFUL tho -- but at least you're not getting the COVID edition

Welcome!  I am also in St Louis.  Super excited to hear of one more Seven headed to the Lou!  I believe this will bring us to 4.  Registration was a breeze for me, even though my car is titled as a 2002 Caterham.  Let me know if I can help with anything.  Also, if you're interested, I can recommend an excellent mechanic who specializes in British cars, including Lotus and Caterham.  He has been a great help to me when things have gotten a bit beyond my skill set.  And, I agree with everyone else...  Josh is awesome.  You made a good choice.

Thanks. Yeah, I’ll take any contact info you have. I plan on doing as much as possible on my own, but I’m not really a mechanic, so who knows what I’m in for. I really only started doing any of my own work on my own cars about 2 years ago. But my day job is as a service technician on industrial machinery. I specialize in programming/electrical/controls, but if I’m by myself and a wrench needs turned, I have to turn it. So, I’ve picked up a thing or two over 20+ years of that….but far from expert and always learning.

ah, this is a great place to start.  there are a jillion resources and examples of people like me, even more clueless.  As weird as they are, these cars are relatively simple
