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?

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





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
