yellowss7 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Al, you need some serious counselling. :_deadhorse: Seriously, that's just not right. You don't sell Family, there are laws against that!!!:rant: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowss7 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Al, rumor has it that this is a spy shot of your next 7. I like the clams. :thumbs: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EburgE Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Al, the only sad part of meeting everyone at Carlisle was knowing that you'd be Seven-less for awhile. You have an open invitation to come ride in mine anytime you need a fix. --Hal (Pondering whether to say "ride" or "drive".) :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew7 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Al......sorry for your loss, especially before the driving season. I know of a 1962 Lotus 1500cc RHD sitting in a friends garage with many other unfinished car projects. One is my old Porsche he's converting to electric. The series 2 is a roller with red CLAMS, but you'll have to really polish the aluminum. I don't know when he ran it last, all the fiberglass was pulled off and painted but his intention was to do vintage racing with it. It will need a going all over but it is my belief it could be picked up inexpensively. I had seriously consider it myself... to have an original but I enjoy mine enough and don't have the room for another. PM me if you are interested and I will call him for more info. He may not be interested in selling it, but maybe more garage space and cash will change his mind. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Budlite Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Al - Sorry to hear...hope it's not too long before you have that Series 2. Mopho - You lucky dog, enjoy!! :7fume: Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparecr Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Almost brings a tear to my eye, also. But I sure you will be back as an owner soon. Thanks for letting me drive it down at Carlisle, much different than my car. Hal you can use drive, Al is easier on Sevens than leaving them sit parked in a garage.

S1Steve Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Al, If you are that 7 friendly, you can drive my S1. Take me up on it, not something I say, let alone write very often. Then I'll sweet talk Bob D. into swapping rides someday. Happy Holiday, Steve Novelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoPho Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Well, the car made it safe and sound, and is everything that I expected and more. Thanks Al!!!!111!

Al N. Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Morgan, let's dump our wives, move in with each other and have "his and his" sports cars! In all seriousness, glad it arrived safely. Now book more photography jobs and keep 'em both, I say! --- Of course, a detailed (and glowing) report will be expected after your drive. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 u should love it Morgan, the reviews i heard of a certain Orange/cf 7 tearing up VIR north early last week were that it was phenomenal. if it had slicks it would have been ticks away from track records instead of in the grass. i keed i keed:boxing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soareyes Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Will Mr. Orange's west coast public debut be at Cars and Coffee Saturday? There is a (very) slim chance I might be there with my Birkin or Smart Car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now book more photography jobs and keep 'em both, I say! --- Of course, a detailed (and glowing) report will be expected after your drive. :cheers: If we do that, there would be room for one more car http://www.websmileys.com/sm/evil/teu55.gif - Had to cut the drive short, so only got to do a bit of a highway drive to my wife's office (where a crowd formed around the car), but I enjoyed it a lot. - Acceleration was crazy, I have driven cars that are probably quicker on paper (Nissan GT-R, 599 for example), but this ranks up there, and the whole experience is far more exciting than the GT-R that is for sure. - Wind was not nearly as bad as I expected. I actually liked the wind in my [lack] of hair feeling. With Oakley glasses it was no problem on the eyes. Even had the car close to 100mph at which point it was sort of getting bad. I guess after hearing people complaining, I expected worse. I am relieved about this. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/533.gif Certainly would not want to do a long freeway drive like that though, so sidescreens are on order. -Car is louder than I expected, in a good way, love the transmission noise (yes I am crazy) -Didn't get the chance to do any twisty roads, so I will have to comment on that later. -Car gets a lot of attention on the road, even in LA where people are jaded to exotic cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
