Grigori, :cheers:

You have made a wonderful car. Someday there will be more. I think I see children learning how already!

I am very impressed! Have fun!

I don't care what any of them did or didn't say, I think it's a beauty!

Guys Thank you all for your support! By the way found out today on the account registration can be done without any problems but it will cost a lot of money ... And even today, got a passport in the evening of the sport lay out his photos! Sneem can freely cross the border to participate in sports or events! Damn if I had the opportunity to go somewhere out of this state would long ago have left ... By the way can komuto Moldovans need to helpers can do absolutely everything related to cars :cheers:

It looks like Evans is using independent rear brakes to do these turns but take a look at this video. :)

I have independent rear braking (3 emergency brake levers) on my dune buggy and it can do a U turn on sand around one rear tire.

Hello! It's me again! All during my absence, I enjoyed traveling by car. And today, at the most inopportune moment burnt gasket! A burnt it because the limit of the engine 7000 rpm and for some reason it spin up to 8000 when I started to warm up the tires. having worked for a few seconds at such speed, he began working on three cylinders. first thought that the candles are bad, and immediately replaced all the candles on the new engine but alas, work has been takoyzhe and after a few taps on the gas pedal at all, he began work on two cylinders. then quickly decided to measure the compression and it was all at once yastno in the first and fourth cylinder 180. and in the second and third 60. Immediately called and ordered a gasket. as I unfortunately was not Spare. And I had to go five miles on two cylinders though to be honest the sound of the motor in such a state I liked more than before. He turned a severe and serious as the Eighth cylinder engine. Tomorrow will begin repairs and, accordingly, will photograph the entire process and share information with you! :cheers:

Hello everyone, I haven’t written anything for 11 years because my project was in the garage and didn’t go anywhere. But this year we were allowed to participate in official drag competitions in Moldova. We really didn’t take the place, but we had a very good time. And I decided to share it with you. Here are some videos for you to watch!!! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMjSSVBt8/

Your car sounds really good in that drag race video with the blue sedan.

Do you have any other Locost 7 builders in Moldova yet?

Cheers,

Lonnie

There were a couple of other people who collected, but due to the fact that it was impossible to make documents, they all stopped doing them. By the way, the blue car is a 2020 BMW X6 8)

Great car you have there, you don't feel the need to have front fenders? Stones don't hit you while you are driving?
Do you speak Romanian, or Russian? I speak Hungarian/Romanian, I'm from Cluj-Napoca, but I'm in LA since 1996.
Did military service in Roman/Moldova-Romania.
