Birthday

Well, happy 20th birthday to my locost. Despite everything being "wrong" with it (1600 pinto, 4 speed box) I still thoroughly enjoy driving it. So thanks to the much maligned Ron Champion (OK, it was on the road for £1800 not £250) and the good old Locost Car Club (any old members still about?)

Happy Birthday car!


Bob still shows up here every now and again!

I imagine SteveM was a member too. Maybe Hicost?

Cheers,
James

As James said, yep i was there, also Marcus, was an old member,

I was reading one of those leaflets only a few weeks ago, wasnt it Rory Perritt who produced them ?





Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Glad to see some oldies still about. Ah, the newsletter, I think i still have some in the loft, must look them out. It was Rory who did it. I made him a filler nozzle and screw in cap. Can't do that now. Wonder if he finished his car.

I'm still calling in a few times a week. I'm a refugee from TOL (the other list)

I can't remember what member number I am, but pretty sure it's a double digit one.

Car is still on the road (a little late this year) but it'll still be in the family until I can't get in and out

Good memories here, it's still a haven of good advice and little drama all these years later.

Just had a look at my car's registration document - it's 15 years old! Where did all that time go...

(Just as well I did take a look - its MOT is due next week)

I've been here since 2003 and my car is 16 years old soon. I was also a member of the Locost Car Club, I even wrote a couple of articles that got published

Mine will be 15 this November as well.

I'm using it now more than ever!
