After too many years away from serial seven ownership I have the hunger again! I simply want a fun 7 to drive in the good months, get away from the Surrey speed humps and go to France. Cosmetics are not an issue but an 'individual' car would be nice! Having had some serious stuff including a JPE and a CSR 260 I now just want some pleasure on a budget hence my top limit of £12k. Anyone wanting to sell at this miserable time of year?

After too many years away from serial seven ownership I have the hunger again! I simply want a fun 7 to drive in the good months, get away from the Surrey speed humps and go to France, mechanical reliability. Cosmetics are not an issue but an 'individual' car would be! Having had some serious stuff including a JPE and a CSR 260 I now just want some pleasure on a budget hence my absolute top limit of £12k. Anyone wanting to sell at this miserable time of year?

BOY OH BOY! What a reaction! I simply advertised something on eBay that would be most suited to a 'non 7' market, that is Motor Bike users. I thought it might help my chances of a sale to flag it up on BC since I bought it for use in a 7. Believe me, I did not want to sell this preferentially to L7C members as I don't give a toss who buys it. Now I start to see some true colours from, what I am sure is a minority, who think that, since I am a L7C member, I should offer 'special privileges' to other members. We are only members of the Lotus Seven Club and, as good as it is, it is not as someone previously said, a masonic lodge. This is a club, dammit. These forums are to share our interest in a particular marque, exchange vital technical information and have a damn good (blat)chat. The comment "I do dislike people linking for sale posts to ebay auctions, but there are no rules on BC to stop you doing it" is clearly one from a solely personal perspective but deserving comment: is there a feeling among club members that there should be such a rule? If so, I think you will regret closing this door and it will only serve to make membership to the L7C less essential. Lastly, I have to say that I am left with a sour taste in my mouth about all this. If I was a milder person I would not have bothered to respond but the reaction that was posted on the site smacks of 'spoilt child' behaviour. I think 'Petrolhead' needs to realise that he has no right to tell me how to sell something. I makes me reluctant to continue to alert members when I do have something on another selling site. It may well have that effect on others. David

Hi Tyrone and Pertolhead, I am so sorry to have upset you. Just a couple of points One, I have advertised it on eBay under Motor Bike accessories as I thought I would get a better response. Two, I did use my membership privilege to alert Blatchat viewers that I had done so. and, Three, I will damn well advertise where, when and how I wish and I pay no heed to petty foot stamping from such as you.

Hi Dave, I cannot really answer that as I have hardly used it! Best to check the reviews and their website.

I just put in an address I know in France, it found it and planned a route so, I guess, UK, ROI and Europe

Thanks, TBIRD, I will spare you another joke, (for a while!)

Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged the first one but let the other one off. Don't worry, these will stop when the CSR is sold!
