New Velocity project owner...
Hi everyone,
Few weeks into Velocity XT bought as a part-started project - rolling chassis but starting again from page 1 of the build sequence and doing things
properly 
Forum has already answered many queries and saved a lot of time - no point re-inventing the wheel I guess. Really enjoying it so far and having Ben
from Luego just up the road (live in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire) a major advantage - he just popped in the restaurant to drop off Velocity badge.
Some of your pictures have been a real inspiration and lots of great ideas / neat solutions to be found. Aiming at being on the road for next summer
so maybe a few outings to shows etc - can't wait!
Cheers, Bill.
Well it SEEMED like a good idea!

Best of luck with the build mate, you are a lucky devil having such support in your local area.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Hello, and welcome not only to the forum, but also to the merry band of Luego builders. Especially to someone who is building a 'normal'
sized Velocity rather than the 'overblown' Vientos
Join the club! Although I've now completed mine(see below).
I'm not sure you can use the internal site code for the avatar picture - I think the 5 - digit numbers are only for posting a pic in a thread.
What you need to do, is first resize your pic - I think the max allowed is 150 x 150 pixels - upload it to your photo archive at that size, display it
on screen and copy the link line (don't copy the [img] at each end). You then open your control panel, and paste that line in the avatar box.
Whilst you are there, add your approximate location so people can see at a glance on your posts whether they are near enough to collect stuff from
you, come and help you, or invite you for a blat (or even a 'go' in theirs to spur you on!!).
I am quite surprised you have got a new Luego - the company has pretty much folded up is our information - you must have got one of the last ones?
See this thread Where Clive (jollygreengiant) had a brief letter back
from Ben.
Anyway, don't be afraid to ask for any advice, help, guidance - where to get parts, how to fit them, etc etc - we have all been or are still
going through the build process and any difficulties can be overcome - especially when you get nearer the dreaded IVA test (probably a week or two off
for you yet)
Good luck, and above all, enjoy it! Regards, Steve.
