were we live
Why is it that almost half of our members on this site have not put were they live
It only needs a town. or at best a county (uk)
reasons
If I had the opotunity to have spoken to anyone when I was building my car (1997-99) I would have finished at leat six months earlier, as it happened
about a month before I was on the road, I contacted a couple of guys who lived local two me (hicost = James and John Biddle)
who for the last 4 years we have got on very well, and have been to pretty well all of the shows, the infomation passed between us has furthered my
car leaps and bounds
This forum is an excellent way of comunicating, but will allways be second best to actually seeing someones creation, and sharing infomation (sorry
Chris,)
I have said before that our cars will never be "finished" and belive me its true!!!
Also The shows, a lot of our members have probabley never been to a show,
well. you have to, most of your questions will be answered without asking a question, and again My fault, i never went to a show, and if I had I
could have saved another six months!!!!!!
also it could have saved those days in the garage, that nothing happend due appathy
seeing somone elses car, and on the road, can be the most inspiration that you will ever need (Surrey dave, am i right ??)
there will allways be exceptions eh Bob??

hehe yeah and anyway i never understood why people have secret locations either,but on the other hand there's a guy building a locost not far
from me and he never goes online and couldnt much care about anyone else.
Miserable bastard,probably why he's nearly 50 and lives on his own.

Seeing as I first got interested in the racing type of locosting, I would never have got the encouragement to go it alone and do one for the road
myself if it hadn't been for the people on this site offering advice and encouragement at the local meets. As said before by others in a better
position than myself, looking at finished cars is far more rewarding than seeing em in the back of ron's book ! and builds the incentive as
well. I also find it annoying to see posts from people too shy/scared to say where they are from, especially in the 'for sale' section
May be it could be a condition of registering on this site to give a location, I'm not after starting up a secret data base, but a town or city
would be a good start 
It also give people the opportunity to invite others to the meets , as I know of several people who don't look on the clubs and events section,
and one who didn't know it existed ! D'oh They have been enlightened !

I agree Ha Ha Ha..
I live in Sheffield (Yorkshire for those Dahn Sarf) and work in Chesterfield (Derbyshire - see previous). The Chesterfield people never got to
Sheffield (Too far away - less than 10 miles) but are forever going to Derby (40 miles). Very stange thing going over the border every morning...

I live in Clay Cross, five miles south of Chesterfield and about half way between Sheff and Derby yet my postcode is Sheffield. I am about the same
distance from Nottingham as well. I can get to Staffs, Notts and Yorks within 25 minutes and Lincoln in 40 minutes and the Peak District is nearby as
well. I don't go to Sheffield unless absolutely desperate as it is a pain in the ass to park or drive there. Derby got it right, free parking
and park and ride into the centre.

Clay Cross,

Sheffield Council is anti-car, no wonder Meadowhell does so well...

Yorkshire, Derbyshire. Are these places in England or abroad. They sound like they've come out of a novel like Lord of the Rings - lots of
Shires in there

If they are from The Lord of the Rings I wouldn't mind betting that they are somewhere near Mordor....
The shire ?. ..... sounds a bit like Cornwall really - but without the weird little people - oh yeah and full of bl**dy emits (holiday makers).

Simon that is absolutely typical for a shandy drinker.
We've got the cheap houses, fresh air, beautiful countryside and you've got......um..........lots of congestion
I've worked in the south - it's pants
No offence, like

Clay Cross,
That the place that you try not to stop in when using the A61....
You're not allowed into Clay Cross. It's far too select for your sort..
Our house was £18k 19 years ago. 4 bedrooms and a garden, 200 yards from the pub. If you stop you'll probably lose your wheels, don't
risk it..
yours, Pete.
