Just wanted to say hello - Introduce myself
Tipster69 - 19/2/10 at 09:49 AM

I didn't want to join the Forum and my first post start asking questions relentlessly.

I have joined because we will soon (hopefully) decide what kit car suits us best, and embark on our first build.

Anyway, hello.

CHEERS
(I fancy something a bit nipper and better handling than my current bus as per my avatar)

OOPS, Good Start - I thought id posted this in the "Non Car Chat", sorry.

Thanks again for ALL the above messages.

Splitrivet - It took me ages to see the text you had typed there. I found your avatar "hynotic" for some reason. I can confirm that wasn't us in the link though.

Fozzie - F1 is "my thing", I simply love it. If anyone is interested the timings Live from the Jerez tests (today and tommorrow) can be found here:

Greetings and welcome.

Ask all you like all is welcome.

If you are into F1 then you will find that we come close . There are a few on here who have built cars in a similar style to F1 cars, but no one has come close to them on speed yet, except there might be on that is being built that might come close, straight line wise anyway. Linky Click Here

Yep he REALLY is building one with a VIPER V10 he reckons about 550bhp and 600ft/lbs of torque.

Enjoy the site and enjoy your build when you get started.
