After 18 motnhs building, I finally started my engine! In many ways, I cheated because I used a Westfield-modified loom, but I'm still elated.

I updated my website with a description and video. It's not quite as elegantly said as Hellfire's description of his first start, but you get the picture. I'm like a giddy school girls on coke right now!

--Thanks to this list for all the help, Chris

Great feeling Chris... makes it all worth while eh? Good to see some of the people we talk to aswell! Makes a nice change to put a face to a name - or even an ID.

Who gives a sh!t about the production of a video as long as all of the bits on the car work... I just have insomnia! so I need something to do... always!

Cheating - no such word - "used your initiative" that smile at the end of the video was very surpressed!!! You could tell you were very, very happy at that moment!

Top bloke - well done!

What a feeling....

Well done very impressive. I am trying to finish mine before you but I think I will loose

Cheers

Many thanks gentlemen. I feel like I'm finally on my way.

Just spent awhile reading over your website. It's certainly interesting and easy to read!

I can't wait until I get to the fire up stage. Still I've got quite awhile to go yet... Plus I'm not being so ambitious as to start with a scratch build...

Good luck, although it doesn't sound like you need it.

Chris

It's not ambition, but lack of real alternatives. I would rather pick up the phone and place an order with MK or ST or whomever, but that option isn't available.

The Phoenix is my favorite. Maybe next time...

--Thanks! Chris

Nice one Chris
