Met up with OX, J30FOS, & Rich at Northwich this afternoon. Bought a crash hat and OX wizzed me round the town. That is one serious machine. Im so close to finishing I dont need much encouragement but its all systems go now. Cant wait to get it on the road now.
Thanks guys see you at Stoneleigh hopefully with the car.

Tut tut Col, you know that arranging things prior to obtaining a pass will result in denial of proposed pass-out !


locoboy - 29/3/04 at 02:51 PM

Jarvis Shut it!

Pass sorted


richijenkin - 31/3/04 at 11:23 AM

BigT - 31/3/04 at 01:52 PM

Col

Get the beers in and I will see you there !


Mk-Ninja - 31/3/04 at 02:14 PM

The Internet has been down for 2+ days so missed the thread.

Have a good time tonight Col, I dont think OX will dissapoint dont forget your hat.

Gordon


locoboy - 31/3/04 at 02:49 PM

hat or skid lid?

Got hat...... got skid lid all beit a bit old, open face too so not really worth it unless the unthinkable happens.

May have to be the sunnies and wooly hat,

Im sure it wont dissapoint me, its got to be one hell of a beast, and im sure the piccys dont lie, its nicely done too.

im sure with me in the passenger seat it will somewhat skew the BHP/Tonne figure though! - at least it will be cosy


richijenkin - 31/3/04 at 08:06 PM

LMAO... these cars dont like the rain!!!! good to see you Colmaccoll and good luck with the build

[Edited on 31/3/04 by richijenkin]


locoboy - 1/4/04 at 10:56 AM

They dont mind the rain, its the ever so slightly heavy right foot and the wet road and the diesel on the roundabout that they dont like!

"You spin me right round baby right round like an indy baby right round round round!"

Good job there was an alert kit car driver behind us ........well as we ended up it was actually in front of us!

Good to meet you guys last night and i say credit to either your driving or your car RJ for keeping up with 2 QUICK BEC's.

Note to self.....Must meet up again for more fun and laughs, maybe my car will be road worthy then too.


OX - 1/4/04 at 12:13 PM

well if you want to risk your life again col give me a ring ,sorry about that lmao .will bring a crash helmet for you next time


Alez - 1/4/04 at 12:39 PM

Hmm.. OX, any connection with John Oxborrow, creator of the OX7 mid engined Locost?

Cheers,

Alex


locoboy - 1/4/04 at 01:10 PM

No worries OX, it was good fun, i have been the wrong way round in mine a couple of times, all on roundabouts too, one was changing down to soon and letting the clutch out to quick - locked rear wheels and a nice 180 deg spin ither one was just over eager acceleration.

You will have to take my GF out in it for a rip, she needs convinceing about these Bike engines, and it will persuade her to allow me more build time! - she loves fast cars etc but is still a bit sceptical of the bike engine application - im sure the R1 beast will show her otherwise.

I just hope she doesnt expect my puney CBR1000 to tear up the tarmac quite like an R1 !


OX - 1/4/04 at 10:51 PM

alex ,no not me sir

col any time dude ,just name the day .your cbr 1000 will fly im sure


locoboy - 2/4/04 at 08:19 AM

Im not sure it will fly, i may have been spoilt a bit by having been in a, blade, zx9,blackbird and r1 BEC's,

Anyone know how well locost will go with a cbr1000 in it? am i right in thinking they are 130bhp?


mr loo - 14/4/04 at 08:42 PM

When are you nutter's going out again?.me and steve are up for a blast in our bec's


locoboy - 15/4/04 at 11:04 AM

OX - 15/4/04 at 12:41 PM

locoboy - 15/4/04 at 03:04 PM

Peteff - 15/4/04 at 03:09 PM

Everything seemed in order apart from my brake lights not working, will look at that this week before stoneleigh.
