uh ohh! say Mike?
you might know this more than anybody.
is it bad when thunderstorms bow like this????



just dropping by as promised.
but with them bow echo/straight line winds comming at me, not sure for how long!
at least no Tornado Warning yet. i love bad weather. regular storms, in general, are a nusaence.
but severe weather is awesome in its power.
with full coverage on Mera X, i will take the good with the bad. if X gets crushed, SAY HELLO LOTUS TURBO!

still for sale a year and 2-3 months that i know of.i almost bought this instead of Mera X wait you know that. Whoops....
anyway, i could live with that
dan
radar check!

ya dan sometimes strong straightline winds are just as damaging as small tornado's. later this summer/fall i am going to look at building a lotus esprit v8 turbo looking body for my 88 test mule car. then put some goodies back on it susp, brakes, engine wise and make a neat little car. what you think dan?

well the storm was the best of the season, so far, but not much...like 40-50 mph winds..(Chicago got 70+) and it only lasted for 1 hour or so.
the power went out 3 times...
*EDIT* well, after checking the news it was worse than i thought. Tens of Thousands without power, trees and powerlines down all over town...i guess Kalamazoo County got the worst. they recorded a wind speed at the local College (WMU) at 65 mph....thats moving.


the Lotus Fiero sounds good, Mike...do you have to strech it like the Lambo kits do??

and also are you going to have a New Mera built or is that just going to be #7071?? i would like to see your "New" panels on something.

TOMMY! for you, bragh!


its still on there because i dont want to tear apart the wheel well to see how it is attached, ohhh and lazy.
when i get back to work, Monday i will see about getting a label made on the shops label maker....Mera X or something...
time to drive....Later

no stretch needed on the lotus rebody. within 1.5 inches of each other in real life.

hey Richard. whats up? seems like no one wanted the conv. Stinger....NO BIDS?? seems strange...maybe they will re-list.
could be the VIN confusion and the "International" situation may have played into this for the US bidders. if i had a job all along i would have at least bid i have never owned a Convertable. that Stinger would stay badged "F-Car" if it were in my garage. that is a true 308 kit. perfect.

Mike. really? no streach? i would think that the Lotus Esprit would need a little <-----> of any Lotus, in my opinion. within 1.5" you say? even the Meras are not that close to the real 308....these are the dimentions i have found.....Mera-Width 73"/ 308- 67.71" Length Mera-172"/ 308-166.53" Height Mera-46.9"/ 308-44.09" them are some big differences, again too me

well the suns out early so its time to DRIVE!
till later my friends...... "Stay Thirsty"
