Just ordered my Aries Motorsport Chassis/Starter Kit

Now a few weeks to finish collecting bits before it's ready to collect

Well done that man

congratulations.

you jammy sod, Mrs Knuckles wouldn't let me spend any money on a chassis so i had to befriend the owner of a local engineering firm and make my chassis from scratch. when yours arrives you will have leapfrogged my build by 2 months. bugger!

anyway, hope you enjoy it and happy new year.

Well done, i wish could afford to do the same, but as I have to stay at home to look after the missus I had to make my own. i really hope it all goes well, least you don't have to through the "god I hope I hope I cut this right" stage.

I'm fairly local (from Monmouth) if you ever need help.

Well done you won't be dissapointed.
Steve is a top bloke very helpful and always at the end of the phone or e-mail.

My biggest mistake on my build was not spending the cash and buying a chassis. Really like the aries (i've got the GRP) - good look.

Very good choice! As said before, Steve's a reliable bloke and the kits are top quality.

Give Alex Roebuck's build diary a read, lots of tips and advice:
