Last drive of the year - I thank you
I had my last drive of the year yesterday, (tax ran out in Sept). Another good sunny day and still great fun to drive. I've done 1600 miles
since getting it on the road in April. No major problems with the car, it's been very reliable. I changed a rear wheel bearing and I think I get
carb icing on cold days (it only lasts about 1 minute), that's it.
Plans for the winter:
Quickrack
Sumpguard/skidplate
New boot box/ rear shelf
Clean out all the stones from the inside and mud from the rear arches.
Building and driving the car has been a hugely enjoyable experience. When I began to plan, I was a total novice but after discovering locostbuilders
then Mark/Colin at MAC#1, somehow I have managed to build a great reliable car that goes like the clappers.
Thank you all for helping me to achive this!!!!
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

.... now is probably a good time to take up watercolours or smoking a pipe maybe?
well done mate - I've been busy with work as usual but the missus has more or less settled into her new university routine so I should hopefully
reclaim some free time in the evenings and at weekends all being well
