Atlanta area Locost builders meetup


weconway

Recommended Posts

Guys,

 

I'm kind of new to the forum, but myself and a number of Locost builders in the Atlanta area are trying to put together a meetup to discuss Se7en stuff, builds and just to meet each other and chat.

 

I'm about to start my build, and I've never seen an actual Sevenesque car in person. Would anyone be interested in joining our meetup? I know I'd love to see the real thing...

 

Here's the discussion in the LocostUSA forum.

My car (and its driver) will be in Buford Monday, Feb. 11 at Balanced Performance Motorsports. I'll be available shortly after lunch time, if the tuning goes well.

 

Hmmm .. I would like to see what tuning involves .. and bring your tonneau .. I would like to see it and get a better idea of what I want. (I'm working Sun night .. so I hope I will not be too tired!) (Well it would be good to see you again too!)

My car is on blocks in the Five Brothers Automotive garage in downtown Tucker (outside I-285) if you want to take a look at the nuts and bolts of a different kind of Se7en.

Hey guys, Let me know what date you are considering. I will be out of town for approx 10 days starting the 15th.

Headed to Tx to put the new car together. If any of you are interested we will have a MOJO up for sale first of next month.

William:

 

I'm working both tonight and tomorrow night .. so if I'm not too tired .. I can make it for a brief appearance.

 

I see that the meeting is NOT at the Donut Delericts, a weekly gathering of car nuts in Atlanta....

 

What time?

Rain today in Ga! Cold tomorrow in Atlanta! (39deg)

Hey Guys,

 

We're meeting at the Varsity for lunch. Time to follow soon...

 

Rob - I'm thinking that we'll do a follow-up meetup at Donut Derelicts later in the year when it's a little warmer.

 

Thanks,

 

William

12:30pm at the varsity. Double check here before you go.

 

After lunch, everyone is welcome to stop by my place to check out my build in progress. It is very close to the varsity and there is plenty of parking.

 

 

 

Hopefully the rain will be good to us. My build is fully outdoors...

I plan on being there. Looking forward to heckling Keith while he wrenches on the miata. I'll be the one tossing in extra bolts from the side line and saying "I wouldn't do that if I were you!"

 

 

Maybe we should do a headcount and do a 7's meet and great?

You guys should drop by the Walter Mitty (http://www.grmspeedfest.com). I'll be down for the weekend for a Miata turbo install and we'll have the turbo Westfield with us. Should even be a couple of Lotus/Westfield XIs. Should be a great weekend.

 

I got a little confused and though you guys were going to be at Sebring this weekend. Took me about 20 minutes wandering the vendor area before I wised up. :banghead:

 

There was a guy there with 2 original Series 2 Lotus 7s who was cool enough to let me sit in his road car and ask a ton of questions. I'll post some pictures on my Flickr site later.

 

I'm absolutely going to be at the Mitty. I'd love to get together again. If we ask nicely can we poke around the Westie? I'd love to get an opportunity to sit in it and look around under the hood...

 

Edit - The fellow's name was Paul Stinson.
