[FerneyO]

Hi, I'd like to introduce myself to the group. I recently built a 7 (details at http://fernlahone.wordpress.com/) and would like to share info, attend meets. I live in Truckee, CA.

.....Dave.

Nice website, Dave, and congrats on the BAR approval.

jhamlinx2 - did you get your 7 back? Randy told me that you got rear-ended and it was in the workshop for a long time.

We should have a Caterham in our driveway shortly. Can't wait!

Good looking car, Dave. I hope the BAR referee can process things properly and without delay. Those guys are in a position with way too much unchecked power, IMHO.

edit - Also, did you find a brake & light place reasonably close to your place? I seem to recall you mentioning somewhere the possibility that you might have to travel far for that?

Sean - have an appointment at BAR in Sacramento this coming Thursday 7:20AM - hoping to get final approval.
I found a Brake/Light inspection station in Tahoe City, which was close (20 miles). It was funny when he asked me to stop from 20mph, he stood there expectantly with a tape measure ready - when I stopped he laughed & said, " I think we'll call that 5 feet!"

Jhamlinx2 - glad to hear you're getting your 7 back. Last time when I visited the BAR in Sacramento, I drove back via Placerville, Mormon Emigrant Trail, Hwy 88 & 89. They are some nice driving roads!
