Ha, a week behind? not for long mate. You will overtake me very soon as I am:
A, skint now,
B, have a chronic legion or something on me spine that slows everything down.
C, I'm making me own wiring loom that should take furkin ages

They say it is quicker with two people but I'm alone, the wife thinks it's a scandalous waste of money and Kevin the teenager hasn't got any idea theres anything outside his bedroom (he's 27 by the way!)

No rush am I in, so we may have a race on our hands to see who takes the longest to build

I'm waiting for the warm weather me....

No Hope - Nuts the bloomin lot of yah.

1 a week ( think its a bit more than that ) the amount of chassis at MNR's when I was there and marc still recons that they are still behind. ( a note to anyone watchine wont affect your ETA but the chasis are ussually produced at least 2 weeks before collection to allow for bulk powdercoating )

Regards Agriv8

All the best with the build's Chaps and PS the kettle will be on I am sure !!!

I'll see you there George - swmbo and I are going up for a pre-order visit and ride that Saturday. Chris mentioned there was one being picked up that day - I didn't know if it was someone on here or not....

And millemg - hope the pickup goes smoothly

Cheers,


Vince

That's great news!

Enjoy the build; it'll be one of the best things you'll ever do... sometimes even better then driving itself.

Cheers,
Joao

PS: Pickup is a quite stressing moment with all those pieces and bits. Marc and Chris are VERY VERY professional, but sometimes there's a bit missing or already mounted... take your time, check everything and ask all the questions you need if you don't understand how a piece is to be used.

Blimey there are certainly more MNR builders than ever!

I've got back in the garage after a 3 week break and have now spent close to ten hours getting my bonnet held down correctly with a set of AeroCatchs! It's so satisfying spending a long time over the simplest of things to make sure it's just right... And yes some say I'm anal...

Have fun building, as I certainly find it bloody good fun! Plan is to airfield it end of March to bed things in before taking it on the road and SVAing...

Chris.
