Hi Stu
After 2100+ BC posts Booted out by the dictators and bully boys therein, because i have opinions which didn't agree with theirs, and I dared to ask Q's they couldn't or wouldn't answer:-(
Hopefully free discussion is possible on this forum, like the skiing and photography forums I also inhabit:-))
Think positive I've saved the £45 L7C subs - thats a decent amount of Blat fuel so can't be bad

Yep I understand many others have left BC too, shame the 7 really deserves a better National owners 'club'.
Locally the S Wales area Lotus 7 club is excellent, all down to the enthusiam of the S wales area reps.

One Numpty question how do you get the 'Smilies' to work on PH?
Maybe Its my PC but I can't get em' to work:-((
Normally you just double click on 'em but this don't work on PH smilies

Mal,
Happy owner of a 72 S4 here, and no, I'm not in the L7CGB either, used to be in the nineties, but got a tad fed up with the politics even back then!
Based in Hampshire, usually meet up with the Solent Se7ens crowd, My car is pictured on the monthly meets part of their website. Good to know there are still some S4s around.
Cheers
Mike

Hang on I can't get smillies to work yet, posting photo's - man that'll be in several months time if I'm lucky
But luxury my car ain't - heater, carpets, windscreen, hood, wipers and all that type 'o junk went in the bin as soon as I bought it, it's a stripped out basic 7 just like CC intended
Well I've tried a few smilies have they worked??
Incorrigible
Maybe - what you drivin' and how do you drive - I don't do cruising convoy's

If I want to use a smiley, I simply click on the smilies link and choose one. 
If you've got some photos on the internet then type [img] copy / paste the link here [/img]
So, guess you don't have any excuses left now. Tried the thumbsnap upload thing of pistonheads, but I or my computer is too stupid to understand that.

Hello - well that's great to know there's another S4 on here, mines a 1970, you can read all about mine on the simplesevens website. I wrote the article 'Return of the tank'. Let me know what you think.
Have had plenty of great feedback from that article and I met the American who owns the site - John Donohoe during the L7 club 50th anniversary bash in Norfolk a few years ago - a real nice guy.
Met a few other S4 owners there too, surprisingly there are few S4's used in anger these days
Mal
ps
I got the smilies to work, now all I gotta do is remember all the codes

Are they still advising everyone to run standard progressive springs at the rear with 250,000,000lb uprated springs at the front and claiming that a K series sans gearbox weights 8kg whilst a duratec is 250kg+ ?After 2100+ BC posts Booted out by the dictators and bully boys therein, because i have opinions which didn't agree with theirs, and I dared to ask Q's they couldn't or wouldn't answer:-(

That's pretty much where it all was when I was last there ...

Yours is the only other S4 I've seeen with Aeros - Mine now has Aeroscreens - awesome. my article on simplesevens is several years old. and I've also binned the rollbar [saved almost 5kg]

Incorrigible - OK why not pop along to the S Wales 7 meet in Chepstow?

Don't want this thread to get political, but yep that's about it, they hate S4's too. - but I can hack that, that's just their opinion, which they're entititled to.
It was the thread censorship which was unfair, and withdrawing my posting rights without any warning. Of course the BC bully boys get away posting whatever without problems

I've had the car since 1996, bought it after I sold my Caterham. Not entirely original spec, it has a 1700 Kent engine with a Caterham 4 into 1 exhaust, other than that pretty much though. Ditched the windscreen in 2006 after a ground up rebuild (courtesy of Chris Wheeler @ The 7 Workshop), still have it stored in a mate's garage!
Another shot showing the aeros a little more clearly!
Having driven with aeros in all weathers, I can't see me going back!!!
I've seen the build log on simly sevens - impressive stuff!

Took me ages to find an S4, after I'd done my full Mods & rebuild, I came across my original S4 for sale at a dealers, would loved to have bought it back but it was totally wrecked, Had most of the original S4 bits missing, and the dealer was advertising it as an original T/C. which was total b
ks, I fitted the T/c engine into it in 1975!!
Oh he also wanted £9K for it, and the car needed a new chassis, I suspect he still has it for sale!!
>
Do you use your car much?
I do about 5-6K miles a year in mine.
I agree the aeros are fantastic on an S4, my wife loves 'em too which is a bonus!!
I have all my original S4 bits so I could return my car to it's original spec, if I ever needed to. When the HLR[Historic Lotus register] first saw my car I had plenty of verbal abuse for changing it's spec;-)
Only major problem with the massive power increase is that the rear AO21r tyres only last 800miles
Whereabouts do you live?
I'm in Mid Wales which has some great 7ing roads.
