MHKflyer52 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Well I hope those of you that are stuck in the cold this time of year enjoy this article. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=124082
Mondo Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 :thumbs: I'll have to keep that in mind (not too far away...)
soareyes Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 We ought to pick a Saturday and meet up with our Sevens at the event, and maybe a short blat afterwards? May 10th is on their calendar as British Car day. Who in S. California might be interested? :7fume:
southwind25 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 this is not a bad idea.. just give a location and a time and whoever shows up shows up...and who doesnt doesnt..but they might next time. hmm.
MHKflyer52 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 We ought to pick a Saturday and meet up with our Sevens at the event, and maybe a short blat afterwards? May 10th is on their calendar as British Car day. Who in S. California might be interested? :7fume: Hi Stan, I would be interested but May is still a bit away for me to make plans but a good possibility. Might consider putting the 7 in the trailer and towing it in as an hour an a half to two hours on the freeway is not my favorite thing in the seven especially going into the valley even if it is a weekend.
slomove Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Sure, Ill be there. No plans for May 10th yet.
soareyes Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Great! :hurray: I'll plan on this. So we have two S. African Birkins, a US Locost, and a US Ultralite and/or a US Weinermobile attending a British Car event. Maybe we need a token Caterham? :lol:
Mondo Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 No wienermobile but should be getting the S2k in a few weeks.... didn't get the SB100 cert but hope to get a few more registration extensions (those little red numbered papers you put in the window..) so I can drive around until next year. Otherwise it'll be my lowered G35coupe

Good to hear there is a plan B for getting the S2k on the road! Any idea if you can go the whole year on extensions? IBalNresponsdwithsmiley Took me awhile to figure that one out! :crazy:
Mondo Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I don't know yet... waiting for the car before I see the ref as I told the DMV that it was already here (they wouldn't let me try for the cert without the car being here.
soareyes Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 My wife and daughter were busy this weekend with their own project, so I set the alarm for 4am :sleep: and headed down to Cars & Coffee with the Birkin this morning :7fume: I live in the high desert area of S. California and it was a chilly 28 degrees when I left the house at 5am, but by the time I got to Irvine 90 minutes later, it was probably close to 50. The large parking lot was already filling up at 6:30 even though the official start isn't till 7:00! There was an incredible variety of cars, lots of friendly owners and spectators, and tons of questions about my Birkin. Since this event attracts mostly "car guys", most seemed to know what a Seven is although mine was the only one there today. Mostly they were interested in the various engines setups we use (mine is a mostly stock Zetec). The British car owners were all talking about the big turnout they expect for the British Car day on May 10th, so it is probably a good idea to get there by 6:30 that day. I definely plan to go! A few pics today: My Birkin fit in well with the Brits: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1628306183_DSCN2954.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/962213245_DSCN2979.jpg Pair of Mercedes SLR's, a coupe and convertible: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/584514366_DSCN3000.jpg A nice Jag set up for racing: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1244632788_DSCN3019.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/237284926_DSCN2976.jpg
