thegoat Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I have been thinking some time about trading my 2006 Polar Blue Exige (with a BWR SC with Charlie's tune) for a Caterham/Seven. Please shoot me a PM if you are interested. Here are some details on my car: 2006 Polar Blue Exige 8,6xx miles Track Pack (including harness bar) R888 tires with about 50% tread left LSD TC Stage II exhaust All records and manual Mods: Rear Panel delete (have all the parts if you wanted to put it back on) BWR SC with Charlie Tune Painted polar blue engine cover, center console, and A/C surround Lowered slightly and corner balanced (this was done pre SC, so it probably needs a slight adjustment. I have the spec sheet if you want to see) Shifter reinforcer Sys pack (installed on driver side; have parts for passenger side; ready for 5/6 point harness to be installed) Painted orange calipers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomove Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Whatever comes out of it, make sure to meet up with us 7/9/2009 at Skip Cannon's house details here (hope you don't mind me inviting people to your home ;-) ). I suppose Erie isn't that big so it should be right in your neighborhood. Maybe you have Seven by that time and can drive along at least for a bit Well, and if not we are friendly to an Exige, too....

Gert Gert, Se7en people (well, most any gearhead/petrolhead/car person) are always welcome at my home, even if they haven't yet realized their dream. The more the merrier. As a matter of fact, he was over a few days ago to have a look at my car and has been invited back for a ride now that I am able to drive it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoat Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Erie really is a pretty small town. And I will be back for a ride in that mazda powered wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoat Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 It looks like I am getting pretty close to a Seven - the reserve price has been met on the eBay auction! (see the above link for a link to the auction) Still, it will be sad to let this one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 ....Still, it will be sad to let this one go..... I can imagine....but that was the "easy part". Anything lined up as replacement? Gert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoat Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Still looking. I looked at a caterham here in town, but it was a little too tracked focused for me. I was talking to someone on the california caterham forum with 1700 crossflow caterham for sale, but told him I would have to wait until I sold my car to discuss further. I like the car, but I am not too sure I want to go with something carbureted. Have also been talking to Dick Brink about a Birkin. I will likely make a trip down there to drive a couple of them. The pricing and options seem about right - I would say that a Birkin is probably the direction I am heading. You have any leads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiBirkin Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Good luck with the sale and finding a nice Seven type car, looking forward to seeing what you end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Have you looked up the Birkin Owners Group? I found them a great source of otherwise unadvertised cars when I was in "look" mode for a car. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/birkinowners/ Edited May 17, 2009 by Croc added link to Birkin Owners Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Goat, IIRC, the same problem Hank is having in LA will arise here in CO. A windshield and wipers are mandatory. It might get missed in the inspection but I recall that Keith had problems with that on his Locost when he first tired to register it. Check it out before you make a commitment.

thegoat Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thanks for the tip. The Caterham I looked at in Boulder has the same problem, but the guy there runs a dealer plate to get around that issue. Also, the car has been sold. I ended the auction early for the high bidder. Now, on to lighter and more nimble things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Also, the car has been sold. I ended the auction early for the high bidder. Now, on to lighter and more nimble things. Congratulations on the sale. Time to add lightness (and power). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersportsp Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 thegoat, I am looking for a Caterham, and track focused is good for me. Would you mind giving me info on that local car you looked at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoat Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Will do. It isn't fully for sale yet last I checked, but I will contact the owner. Edited May 20, 2009 by thegoat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
