12 mins long this one, on google video. It ends with the gearlever snapping, which is a shame cos it was going to be fun getting past the elise!

if that doesnt persuade you that becs are more laughs per pound, nothing will!

the first few laps are a little boring whilst it all warms back up...

I see the car's still lacking a wheel arch! And you really need to stop those clocks floating around!

JoelP - 13/8/06 at 08:22 PM

yeah, i tried a cabletie but there was nothing convient to attach it too! I do intend to make a dash one day...

Is your nose cone wonky? Or is it the bonnet? On the drivers side.

JoelP - 13/8/06 at 08:44 PM

probably both, its a locost not an mk!

the nose is an interference fit, ie it stays on cos its tight rather than anything else

DIY Si - 13/8/06 at 08:50 PM

Fair enough! Mine's only got 2 bolts on it, and my bonnet rubs so I can't be too critical.

If I may butt in here - that's the bulge that the webers used to hide under.

Good work there Joel. Will you be able to put the lap where you were following me on there? The one that ends with me having a moment!

Cheers

Mike

JoelP - 16/8/06 at 07:13 PM

looking good there, excellent budget blast. Bullet cam was it?? We need more footage like this, how about a section on the website???

JoelP - 16/8/06 at 09:17 PM

hi mate. the car owes me just 3k, so definately a budget blaster! Footage was a 480 line bullet from dog cam sport, and a canon mvx30i to record it all. Excellent fun though, just wish i could still afford days at cadwell!

Guinness - 17/8/06 at 06:05 AM

cool thanks joel

MikeRJ - 17/8/06 at 03:24 PM

That's excellent, looks like a huge amount of fun
