Locost Club Newsletter

Following a meeting between myself and Rory at Checkpoint Charlie (the pub) last night, I have taken the poisioned chalice as editor of the Locost newsletter.

I need the people who volunteered to help at Newark to get in touch and I need you, the great unwashed, to send stuff in.

I DESPERATLEY need hints, tips, build stories, SVA tales or anything Locost related.

Fingers crossed, the next Newsletter will be out before Christmas.


Cheers

Chris

i could pull out a few things...:

'how to burn your garage', 'how to burn toes, head, fingers etc', 'how to make a bendy car (part 1)', 'that doesnt even look right (part 2)', 'how to waste a lot of money', 'how to make an under powered over weight sports car, in 10 easy bodges', 'how to make a clutch you cant press'......

sure theres a few more up there somewhere... ah yes, the creme de la creme:

'how to spend far too much time talking crap on the internet whilst the missus watches shite soaps on telly, without falling out'

quite a complex one that one...

Just had a thought.

Can someone who posts on TOL copy and paste the original post there?

I'm not allowed, although I still read it but mostly just for the porn links!

Cheers

Chris

Porn links!!!

I'm disillusioned now. I thought that was a genuine attempt by a young girl trying to forge a lasting relationship., even thought she might be interested in cars, what with posting to a forum for that purpose.

yours, Pete.





yours, Pete

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

Sorry to burst your bubble there Pete!

How about a comedy page for the mag?

Cheers

here's my excuse for the expense: the car will be worth a lot more than the sum of its parts when finished, so it's an investment. when eventually sold it will turn a profit.

Chris,

I'm working on a short article re twin (bino-type) mcyls, although it may have to be for the next one, timewise. This piece will be wholly biassed, reflecting my own prejudice against the use of such installations on road-going vehicles.

Will be in touch.





Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

Darren may be interested in sharing some of his shocking knowledge.

He said just recently he's written several articles for other mags.

Cheers,

Dick - Thank you, I'm using the other article you sent me in this issue, so the one you're writing would be ideal for the spring issue.

James, go round and sort him out!

Cheers

Chris
