If I recall correctly, he was going to ship his Birkin from Columbus to some point out west to join up with the trip.
His name is Al Bornstein & a picture of his car is in my posting above. In fact, I hope to run into him tomorrow at the Mid-Ohio Vintage GP.
Do you know Al? He is a great guy.

Doug,
Well that has to be THE trip... I only remember four or five Birkins three from Texas and one from North Carolina and one from California.... but the group was so large that I may have missed him. Sure sounds like I should know him...
What do Sevens (non Caterhams) typically resell for used?

I'm out of touch on new kit prices but the GBP has been beating up the dollar and while Caterham was absorbing the increase for awhile ....
The kits really were all over the map in both completeness and cost. If you don't mind missing the fun of building your own a bit of shopping around can turn up some real deals. Think reproduction 72' RSR in the Pelican ads compared to building your own. Prices range low $20k to mid $50k second hand. I know a guy with $45K in just the engine. Sevens are very much a blank slate and engine, transmission, interior or lack there of, carbon fiber, fuel cell, etc. is all your call.
Mine is about 1200 lbs and 280 hp "pub number", (actual 260ish with lower rev limit) and truly does make other cars seem slow.
