hello...........
long time no see yet again,  but if you remember that last time i said hello i would be starting a new project after the regrettable sale of the
last one  .
soon to be started is a new project using an MC-Sorely +2+4 chassis  , 4wd and some serious amount of grunt , possibly turbocharged but looking
more and more normally aspirated yummy 
i'll be keeping a step diary as i did previously aswell

Train conductor?
Do you have to hold onto the electric cable ? You'll need three days off to recover. Get stuck in there and good luck in the new job.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

however, yer - looking forward to this one, not gonna be able to go as fast as i did previously, but winder is here so its time to bump and grind

I am going to do this first one on this book chassis and then do a MC long+wide ... With the 4x4 and a Cosworth 24V...
And If I get the Sapphy runnign with the Eaton M62 Super charger then maybee do that to the Locsot as well..
