I am doing my best to enjoy my extended childhood.
The lotuses were light and very known for being fragile and fast.

The formula F cars are pretty sturdy and if built by Lotus before restrictions would probably weigh 600# instead of the legally mandated 900# or so.

I fit. I did fly spirit airlines though and I definitely did not fit their amazingly crummy seats. They even charge for water on that airline.

I'll be receiving the car next week. The seller is buying a trailer in Detroit so he will bring the car and his old trailer to my house as a part of the deal. But I have to buy the trailer as part of the deal.

On a side note, Spirit does offer free water, but it happens to be on the blue shade.

Why not the price to post a for sale ad is fair.
Seriously though, or just a link to where it is listed can't hurt. Good luck.

Yesterday and today I have been unloading the stuff around the car. Can't find the steering wheel. So I looked and I have a brand new momo I was going to put on the Cobra but decided against it. Now I need a 3/4" 18 splined quick release. I located one in brownsburg and will go get it tomorrow.

I'm planning to run on Sunday at Grissom.

Woooo hoooo!

The trip to brownsburg was fruitless but i found the correct wheel in the tire blankets. It is so small and lightweight I thought the tire blankets had nothing nestled in them.

Woooo hoooo!

Just gotta find someplace to run before the snow flies!
