good to see another s7 in the club, like tim says you'll get a list of local members with your membership details, and the knowledge that your in the best owners club around! paul

but in the Gumball rally they caught them!

looks the dog doofers, my email address is P.A.Yeomans-03@student.lboro.ac.uk as long as i can open in in autocad 2000 lt any format you have should be fine, cheers paul

sounds like a good enough excuse to me

jase if you want anything from that place just let me know and i'll nip up to get it for you, and bring it to donno if you like? ilkestons only 10 mins from me, and it would be an excuse to get the car out. not that you need one when the suns out! paul

i've just emailed Mcsorley to see if he has any 2-d pics i could have! paul

i thought about that, but s*d's law says that the nice big cut away drawing i like the look of will be split across a double page, making it a nightmare to scan in! i'll have a nosey at halfrauds anyway! Paul

hello, does anyone have, or know where i can get hold of any line drawings, or preferably CAD files for a seven esque car? i've been searching on google for ages, as well as cad sites and cant find anything. can any of you help? cheers paul

107.9kg according to the net. an extra 25% of weight, maybe you could run alongside? paul ps just seen what time you posted - do you ever sleep??!!

i imagine the hoody area at harrogate is a very peaceful place at the moment, apart from big jims snoring! Rizla will probably be fast asleep at home for the next day or two after his very early start and marathon trip home. and if jim gets hold of him, joey might not be blonde anymore! really nice show, and some cracking weather too. good to see everyone, paul

bill, way too much time on your hands! paul

bill, sadly not. If we do go it would only be for the day, due to both of us being up to our necks in different projects that we should be spending time on rather than wandering round looking at cars! not that this has ever stopped us before! but time is getting a bit tight at the moment :boohoo: paul

if i manage to persuade the senior up to harrogate i'll take some too! paul ps it looks good!

checked his ad this morning and he has made an additional comment and revised his opinion

Dave, there are various different ways to attack this one. And a few people have a similar problem. At the moment we have the viscous plus an electric fan, but have also inserted some baffles into the nose cone to ensure that all the air rushing in, is directed at the rad' and doesnt go anywhere its not needed. There's also the possibility of adding some cowling between the viscous and the rad (we played around with some off a B reg Carlton to ensure that it can draw hot air away as effeciently as poss. both of these though are just trying to get the max performance out of the fans you've got. If not, someone used a fan from a diesal something or other that sounded like it was a monster performance wise, but i cant remember who that was, micro are good choices i think, and i think firm called "Kenlowe" (correct me if i'm wrong) are decent makers? However, lots of people dont seem to have any trouble at all. the viscous one does a good job for us, and the electric didnt kick in at all on a recent 200 mile round trip. If the fans just cant cope you could always add more venting, quite a populkar one is inserting to large side vents, which i think big jim amongst others has, but they can be got from most marine chandlers. This might get you more of your hot air out of the engine. i'm sure others will have more detailed infor for you. (waiting to be corrected! cheers paul by the way, someone at a well known and now defunct garage decided that he'd do away with our viscous fan as it was "rubbish" and replace it with an electric one as yuo were thinking about doing. Two miles outside the garage the engine "decided to make a cup of tea" and we were calling the AA. Viscous now back on, electric now positioned and wired the correct way around (as it was designed to according to the manufacturers leaflet iside the car - doh!) but not really being used except in extreme situations

i quite fancy going this year as i've never made it yet. But i've heard some pretty uncomplimentary things about it in the past. maybe others have different ideas? paul

should only take a couple of panels? get em out and get the hood out

Hi Steve, thanks for that - it seems my memory's not what it was :-) are you back on the road again - hope so. paul ps. I bet their cheque bounced for the ad!

during our cars extended holiday in Cradely Heath we had hoped to get a hood fitted, not least because the type of fitment used by them at the windscreen end avoided the need for towels on the dash to catch all the pouring water running over the top between the press studs. We are going to have to find another maker, but wondered if anyone had the jigtec type fitment on the windscreen, since we'll probably have the make the fittings ourselves. I think it consisted of a piece of channel in the hood which fitted inside a corrssponding piece on the screen, to give a watertight fit. Does anyone have any pictures/drawings etc of one, or has anyone in the midlands got one we can have a look at? :-) Cheers Paul

i hadnt....but i have now :-) see - if i hadnt been spending so much time working i would have spotted that! paul

just been told about this, and annoyingly addictive. paul drunken walking game

just have to post this (if i remember how) before i go.... paul

looks like i picked the wrong course then! up to my eyes in dissertation. (still time to come on here though!) paul

I really hope theyre true. Us brits have a long tradition of laughing in the face of adversity, and any group of people that can cope with the rush hour on the underground every day - and manage a laugh, deserve to still have an empire! paul

when is all going to be revealed piddy? are you going to also reveal that you've bought it or something?????
