Bster13 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 So tomorrow I fly from CT to OK to purchase a Brunton Super Stalker from a great builder: http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/bster13/Freds_Stalker/?start=all The builder also put together a HF trailer I bought to bring home some spare parts. He also fabricated an accessory shelf for the hitch, for later use. This trailer will connect to the 1 1/4in hitch on the back of the SS. The plan is to drive from Tulsa, OK straightline to some friends north of Atlanta, GA. On Sunday the 29th, I'll drive to Helen, GA to participate with the rest of the Stalker owners in the annual Stalker Ambush. I'll unhitch the trailer and spend a few days having fun in the twisties and then reattach the trailer to slab it home on the highway by Sept. 2nd. At any point in time, you can see where I am here: http://brycestripblog.blogspot.com/ I want to thank the forum for leading me to this point. I was known as "the boy of a thousand questions" when I was younger and I fully lived up to that name on this board when evaluating which was the best 7 replica for me. This is a great knowledge base and I hope to contribute more over time as I learn my car. Many Thanks! Bryce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobone Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Congrats! She looks super-clean, very light and with a monster motor. Looks like a street legal flat-track sprint car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitcat Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Exciting! When I bought my 7 and flew out to get it I had a million fears (car wldn't be as represented, title wldn't be clear, seller wld be dishonest, I wldn't be able to get temp plates, etc.) all competing with decades of fantasies of ownership. And the seller insisted on cash, so I had $22.5K in 100's on me and hoped I wldn't get asked to do one of those really serious security checks at the airport. All came off w/o a hitch. Your car is beautiful. I am sure Powderbrake will approve of the paint scheme:)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proj217 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Best of luck Bryce! I can't wait to see that beast in person. Enjoy the trip, it's going to be a blast...no better way to get acquainted with your 7 then by taking a trip halfway across the country once ya pick it up. Love it! As always, if you need anything along the way feel free to give a ring. There's a chance this weekend my SE7EN will be all done this weekend as well...adding 2 7s to the Northeast in one week!
