It had to happen

After a break of over three years...

Yes that's correct three years, thats one more than two and one less than four for those that cannot beleive what they've just read, I resumed the build of my locost by starting to cut out the brackets to attach the wishbones to the chassis.

It felt good... and I'm enjoying getting back into the garage of an evening.

Just thought I'd share that.

Is this a record for a stalled build without becomming an unfinished project?

Maybe you are building a slowcost ?

I have to say when you do get back into it, it feels good though.

Congrats chaps. I felt bad last week when I didn't get down to the garage (10 miles away) for 5 days!!

I'm on year 10.

I'll just leave it at that

(but it is good when you get back in the garage and make some progress).

That's a non starter, there's only one February in a year and it's long gone
