Hello, I hope I've chosen the right place to introduce myself!
Ever since seeing "The Prisoner" when it was repeated on PBS-TV in the late 1970's I have wanted a Lotus Super 7. I'd pretty much
resigned myself to the fact that I couldn't afford a Caterham until after the kids finished college (they are 6 and 11 now). 
I was completely un-aware of the Locost until just last week when I saw a short article about them in "Make:" magazine - I was stunned! Oh
yeah!
I've got the book now and have been thinking about appropriate doner cars available here in the US. I would love to hear form any builders in
the Massachusetts area.
Of course I have to finish my current project first.
Cheers,
Jake.

The bus is amazing, but have you seen all the other inventions? I particularly like the mobile phone built into an old fashioned handset.

And locostusa. com, You sound like just the kind of person we locosters need. Can you get the locost in the back of the bus? Russ

Wow! this forum is jumping, that's a great sign!
I've found the Yahoo group and will check out locostusa.com right now.
As for getting the car in the back of the bus - that's where the bedroom is, however I think I could get it on the roof with a couple of stern
davits. Captain's gig, eh?
The family and I are planning a narrow boat vaction starting in Falkirk this summer with a week in the south to follow. I'm hoping I can find a
Locost gathering in the right time and place.
Cheers,

Just google "KAR 120C" and you will find loads of "Prisoner' information and pictures of the black and yellow Seven S II Patrick
McGoohan drove - I'll have to try for those plates in Mass.

Check out the 'Clubs and Events' section for local meetings. You'll find that I organise something every month around the middle of the
country. Usually just south of Birmingham.
If you're around and fancy joining us, anytime to suit you, drop me a U2U.
