I bought my Garage Laptop of Dave, about 10 years ago!!
Its still going as well, and up to a few weeks ago, my Grandaughter was using it for school work,
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Hi Guys
Hello Guys,
Deckman , are you back building again?
Anyway I recently tried to find out what was happening with my Locost F607KGT, as it has not been mot'd in the last 6 yrs, so I wrote to the
buyers address and have heard nothing back, perhaps it left the country, the buyer was never back on this forum after purchasing it.
I thought it may have fallen into disrepair and I could rescue it................any info gratefully received......

Hi Dave,
Yeah i managed to get my original locost back January 2020, it took me 6 months to be ready i thought for the test, but got quite a few fails,
although those fails were great to see making the car safer. Am now almost ready for the re-test but covid has stopped my friend from finishing the
last two bits before the test so I have to hope it'll be ready before the re-test last date in early April.
If you fancy a long read, check out my posts on the Project diary part of this forum.

Good to see you're still alive and kicking! 
Hope all is well,

Cheap Laptop
Hi James,
Deckman................I scanned through your loooong build thread.............should be ok with bike carbs!!!
I still think a Crossflow suits the design, quite small and light, deffo not Pinto!!!! ....too tall and heavy.....
I suppose people are using the little 3 cyl Fiesta engine now????, small light and quite powerful?

My other half has a Focus with the 3cyl turbo and it's a frikkin rocket ship!
I don't know what the car weighs but in terms of useable performance it's way more than you need for a family runabout. Only makes 45mpg
compared to 56-60 in her previous diesel Fiesta but it's great.

Cheers Dave, yeah I have finally managed to set up the bike carbs, they flew through the emissions test at the m.o.t. workshop so hopefully they will
do the same during my retest :-)
