Just a hiya!
Well, I just got back from the UK (very nice place!) where I picked up 'the book' and instantly got hooked! There doesnt seem to be much
of a 7 following here in Canada but i'm sure I can change that!
Well, not much to say really, just a hello. So 'Hello!'

Dave, I reckon being in here has taken its toll on you.
You're starting to be rude now, albeit jokingly...
Cock off or cock on. You choose.

Spottty,
There's a Rotary engined Canadian Locost already in existence. I've seen the website (someone may have the link) and it's even got a
vid' of him shooting round a track. The engine sound is very cool.
Cheers,
James

Ohh Cool thanks!! I havn't been able to find it and I have been looking for a good rotary locost site!
btw, I really wish I lived in the UK just for the cars!! We don't have anything like the Elise or VX220(?) all we have are econo boxes for
reasonable money :/ I really wish we could get the Clio V6 here, Ya I know its not the greatest car but it would be very unique!!

Is it true?
I read somewhere that they don't allow 2 stroke engines in Canada, what kind of people are they? Only in chainsaws.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Ya I think its a 4 stroke too. I have never heard a 2 stroke on the road here but I heard a few in London.
Anyone know the weight of a Wankel compared to a normal 4 cyl?
Best thing to do for a build....
Ditch the wife!

I just meant they don't allow two strokes.
So they probably don't allow any other hooligan type motors. Wankel are definitely 4 stroke type engines I remember them from NSU RO 80 years
ago. They were very unreliable in those days though.
