Doing things the locost way
I have had the locost at the new workshop for three or four weeks now and not really done much with it so on Monday, i decided to make a ramp to get
it down the steep slope and drive round the estate.
As we had some pallets left over from some deliveries, i 'borrowed' a couple 
Unfortunatley, i couldn't drive it for long as the steering lock is dreadfull and i couldnt turn down any of the roads on the estate without
having to back up and take a second go so need to make some mods 
t is a great feeling hitting 27mph and getting into second gear 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I think the engine bay is bigger. Iv made it 6" longer and 6" wider at the nose than a haynes roadster.

You dont need lock when you have rear wheel drive!! Just a good right foot!
I bet that sounds nice.
