It's amazing...
...how much quicker a Viento comes together than trying to build from scratch. After spending 4 days or so out in the garage I'm far further
ahead with the build than I was after 18 months on the book. I'm not surprised at all that it would be quicker but I am amazed about how
quickly the build moves forward.

well if those 18months were spent on the chassis it's not suprising, seeing as you can buy a chassis and save yourself all that hastle straight
away!

Chris,
I did hear that Mark Evans and his team (Sky - A Racecar/Sportscar is Born (not sure what it was called)) managed to build a W/field in a week.
Another three days and you'll be off to the SVA Centre then?
Glad your impressed.

I dare say that if we all had the time/space/money/equipment available to us that Mark Evans did in that program then we would all be going for SVA in
three days!!! (although how many of us would wimp out and build the Westie?)

That series is on Discovery Home and Leisure at the moment (6pm & 7pm on +1).
It's interesting to note that whenever he needs extra hands to lift something, it's always the same people that he talked to in the
Westfield factory... 
I reckon that his workshop was very close to the Westfield buildings!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
