And this is Skip's Caterham 7. I thought I had more pics of this brute beauty. It is a few inches longer and wider than a regular Lotus 7 (as if there is such a thing). Don't matter, when you ride in this thing it's more like you are wearing it! It is powered by a Miata engine (NA block, NB1 head) and a Flyin Miata turbo kit with a Hydra (as opposed to the Sunburst, that uses the Link system). It too makes 300+ hp to the flywheel and it weights less than 1,600 with a full tank of fuel. When you ride in it, you feel like you are on a two seater F-16 with open afterburners! :eek:
PS: I thought I had more pics of this car, looks like I'll have to go and bug Skip some more! :wink:
My god! You sir have some awesome cars!
Thanks, I think they are pretty awesome too.
On Wednesday I fly to Phoenix to pick up a 2014 Subaru WRX 5 door to replace the 2011 Suzuki SX-4 Crossover that is going off lease in November. It will be my daily driver when the weather is too bad for the Caterham or Miata or I need to haul more than one passenger.
Another place to follow Skip's threads. Cool.
Btw, my dad is on his 3rd day of his drive home.
Skip, you have my respect. I like the Mini Lotus 7 you have. Very neat.
Everything went as expected. He is on the upswing. Thanks for asking.
Sorry for the thread drift.
Back to our hail to Skip's coolness thread.
Sharpies parents have been friends of mine for many years. I met them though Bill and Teri Cardell when Flyin Miata was known as The Dealer Alternative (West) and had just moved to Colorado.
Until this year, they and I were the only people other than Bill and Teri who had attended all of the FM Open Houses/Summer Camps, 15 years worth. This year they could not make it because he was in hospital in Seattle for treatments. They were sorely missed and Bill, Teri and I decided to give them a pass. We talked to them on the phone during the closing banquet and that qualified them for keeping their perfect attendance record.
I am very happy to hear he is well again and on his way home.
Skip
They had lunch with Bill and Terri in Moab, and got home about 9:00 last night.
Small world. When Bill and my dad finally got cell signal, they were within a mile of each other.
Glad you had a safe trip back from AZ. How do you like the new Subi?
