Hi Tracy,
Nedla LaCour gave me your number. We are selling out home - closing on the 30th - and don't yet have a place to move into! Nelda said don't worry about commission on this. We are looking to rent a house or apartment in Tyler south west art of town? But need to get something set up pretty soon. Appreciate your help! Richard Lamb 903-646-2416 |

Hey, Richard, if you're moving near Tyler and if you want to see an interesting car, my old college roommate is there and he has one of the very few Lotus 7 Mk. IV's ever to land in North America. I could give you his number. If you're into old club racers, it's very cool. If not, it's weird. g -- Ed Huntress |

A mate has one and he has gone up against some quick cars and said it was good up to about 60mph but lost out after that and the other car with superior aerodynamics took the lead. Likely the same with the vette, short drag goes to the Lotus, longer one and the vette is likely to be the winner. |

Likely the same with the vette, short drag goes to the Lotus, longer one and the vette is likely to be the winner. For sure. The Lotus 7's aerodynamics are atrocious. Their Cd is around 0.7. A Hummer H2 is 0.56. There are 18-wheelers with a lower Cd than a Lotus 7. Like a lot of club racers from the '50s, it was designed for short-track club races, where light weight and acceleration were far more important than high-speed performance. The 7 makes up for it somewhat by having a very small frontal area, so the total drag is not particularly high. But it's still going to be limited by speed. -- Ed Huntress |

Hey, Richard, if you're moving near Tyler and if you want to see an interesting car, my old college roommate is there and he has one of the very few Lotus 7 Mk. IV's ever to land in North America. I could give you his number. If you're into old club racers, it's very cool. If not, it's weird. g Hi Ed. Thanks, we'll see when we see. Tyler is a possibility - there is a fair sized lake near by. Sailing is still good for the soul. Also considering moving north some. Get away from the heat this summer. It's nearly November and still hitting 90s. The main thing is to get out of the metroplex and cash in on the housing bubble at the same time. You would not believe how that's paying off! |
