The constant ribbing about being unable to spell (or use punctuation) on BC had you running for safer pastures eh

There are a few of us who visit Blatchat - mainly for the tech stuff.
Questions such as:
"How do I do this......"
"Send cheque to xxxxx"
Makes me smile!
PS coming on Locostbuilders, there is no pre-requisite to be able to spell or create coherent sentences. As long as you're clear in what you
ask, you'll get (95% of the time) a reasonable answer.

As for the pics, you should just be able to browse your computer and select what you want, unless it's too big, but it'll tell you when you
try to post it. When I hit the browse button it comes up with a file upload screen, form there I pick what ever I want and attach it. Like this for
example:

Welcome to the nuthouse Chappy .
Who cares what you drive... I dont.!
I saw a Cat***am at Brands Hatch open day a few weeks ago.
It was very nice.
However I was terribly disapointed with the quality.
There was paint overspray on the mesh grill on the bonnet, and other little minor points like that.
OK on a Locost, but I would NOT expect that on a £40k car.
In fact I have seen one or two Locosts that were finished better
I have to admit I was not impressed.
I wouldnt accept that on a £10k New Ford Ka or Fiesta, let alone a £40 prestige sportscar.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

of the others.
Next project is one of these:
Is that a Crossle Si??
If so.........GIT!!
Absolutely beautiful car and worth every penny of its price. Handle a treat too and just look gorgeous!!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Hello Chappo!!!!
welcome to the loony bin!!!
As long as its got 4 wheels and an engine then I have time for it!!!
I race what's in my avatar, I'm just finishing the car below (which is very caterham-esque in terms of size, and even has a caterham HPC
prop and sump lol!!! )
And....I'm building a twin bike engined Fiat 126 for next years racing, so I don't really care what it is they are all cars and this site is
THE BEST resource on the web for car building, without a doubt!!

Mr Dev, nope it's the next project, assuming I get rich in the near future. It's Gardner Douglas's T70 spyder, and I really, really
want one. Shame the missus doesn't want to have one though. Although the screen is helping the argument greatly! Just need to find roughly
£8k for the rolling chassis.

Hmm I think it was a T70 at TotalKitcar Live Bands Hatch the other week. Orange thingy, that I was told was a £50k car... 
Looked the dogs and was very quick.
Keep saving Si!

They can be a £50k car, as so much depends upon where you get the bits from. An engine from GD will set you back ~£12k for the new LS7, or you can get
a supercharged jag V8 for ~£1k! Same power, much less money! Same goes for the internal ally panels. GD want something like £500, or a few sheets of
ally for £60. The "complete" kit from GD comes in at £30k ish for all the options I think.

That one is on the front cover of totalkitcar this month.
Very nice car, if a tad over any budget I'm ever likely to have.

I'm half way afraid that might happen to me. Going to try and do it the locost way, albeit with a not so locost shell, chassis and suspension
bits.
