slngsht Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Nitrous Oxide is such an odd thing on a seven... it's the opposite of smooth power. It's great for point and shoot on the highway though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 "2.0 liter doc Ford Vetec" . Sorry I have been away from the states for a while. What is a Ford Vetec? I am almost sure he meant "Zetec"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-t Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Yea that was what I was thinking. Seems like a good price, wondering though about Vtec Vs Zetec and Honda Vs. Ford and Nitrous. does this person really know what they have? Anyone know this car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-t Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The current owner is Francis Fullam. The car was built by Toby Horrocks. Does anyone know this car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also maybe post some photos as we all love our little cars. :yesnod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzempel Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I wrote an account for hte Yahoo Birkin group. I can post that here, too. Which forum would be appropriate? Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Congrats and welcome Randall! I probably should have made the connection from the Birkinowners group but I guess I'm not too quick. I'd post the account of the trip back to Calif in the general sevens discussion and then share some pictures of your car in the members ride section. Bruce :7drive: Edit: I see you posted it in the members rides section but we still need pics! Edit #2: I see we no longer need pics!

rzempel Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have just answered my own question, and posted a photo and account of my trip in the "member rides" section. Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
