Here's Looking at You!

How would you like to be the subject of an AutoPuzzles 'In The AutoPuzzles Spotlight' article? If so, I have an amazing offer for you (I know, I watch too many infomercials  :D): Just PM or e-mail me if you'd like to take this sure-fired path to web fame, and I'll in turn send you a list of twenty-or-so questions, for you to answer at your leisure.

When I get your answers back, I'll format the Q&A for publication on the AutoPuzzles front page, and here in the forums. I'll even include a picture of you, your car(s), or both, if you're inclined to send one.

Thanks, and make it a great day!  :)

BTW, Karn,

You have lots of other info on me you can use for your profile, the Honda Shadow, I own a pizzeria, my kayaking and jetskiing, etc.  Feel free to use it at your discretion.

Are you looking for details on the person or their automotive project. My Seven build is relatively interesting at least it will be when I get an engine.

As one of the items on my automotive life-list, I would say your Seven build is definitely interesting. I'd love to see more of it.

Ok some info on the Seven - its a based on the "Locost" design from Ron Champion's book "How to build your own Sports Car". Typically one buys an old Ford Escort MkII (Euro only - its a older Brit book) and a pile of steel then weld up your own chassis. I totally wimped and bought my chassis (time is tight with two little kids and another on the way) and fiberglass bodywork. Mine is from a company called Luego in the UK - there is a local distributor a couple hours north of here. I bought his demo pile-o-parts so its orange which wouldn't be my first choice of colour but I don't hate it. Interestly its my third orange car! My rear axle is Hyundai Pony (interestly a copy of the MkII Escort/Cortina), front spindles are Hyundai Stellar (copy of the MkIII Cortina), steering rack is MkII Escort (from Swedan of all places), steering column is Ford Sierra so all my suspension bits "bolt up" as far as possible in a handmade car. I've got it to rolling chassis at this point (assuming I had tires on the rims). I have a Mitsubishi 4G32 engine and transmission that I think I'm not going to use anymore but will probably find a Toyota 4AGE or Miata engine instead. Progress will delayed a little bit as we are moving house at the end of month but I'm hoping to be done by May or so.

Since both porridgehead and Arthur Dent are replying in this thread, does that mean we can send them the 20 questions and use them as content for the spotlight?

You will be receiving them shortly.   :o

10.  Are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party?

I seriously considered it at a younger age.

9.  Do you know the whereabouts of one "Justin?"

The discount bin at the used CD store. 

8.  Are you now or have you ever been "einberliner?"

Nope.

7.  From how many forums have you been banned?

None, but I've been chased from a couple, when my identity was in danger of being discovered. 

6.  Were you a member of the original Combustion Chamber?

I did, under another name or two. Neither was hairy or pooie. 

5.  Does the screen ID "Hairy Pooh" mean anything to you?

Yep. But I didn't go by that name at the original Combustion Chamber.

4.  Would screen photos of large breasts change your answer to #5?

Well, um....(ah-hem).....nope.

3.  Animal, vegetable, or mineral?

Admiral.

2.  Do you now or have you ever "inhaled?"

See answer to # 10, above.

1.  What do you really think of Ultra?

A gentleman with a strong will, a great wit, and a drive to succeed, and to help others succeed. Hell of a chess player, to boot. A good guy.
