BMW based locost

Hello I'm currently in the planning stage of building a BMW 325e based locost. I have found references here and there on building a locost with a BMW 4 cylinder and the occasional straight 6 like mine (M20).

I wouldn appreciate hearing from anyone who has done it with a straight 6. I was planning on building a McSorley +442 chassis. Does anyone know how the Vuento sp? chassis compares to a McSorley+442?

I found pictures posted here of a "Z7 locost" Does anyone here know who the builder is? I'd love to be in touch with him/her.

Any words of encouragement or posts/pics that might be BMW and locost related would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

Great - I'm looking forward to it. Are you the builder of the "Z7" locost? or is that someone else?

As a side note, I love all of the expressions used from the "other side of the pond" Ballsack alone had me laughing aloud as I wandered around the house.

Can't wait to hear from you Hippy

Watch it Marcus, or I'll set the hounds on you.

I shall post later this evening.. I didn't get chance last night but I will have time later..

And no, I'm not the one building the Z7.

For now I'm using the name M250 Venom, but there's no car to go with it yet..





Cock off or cock on. You choose.
