ade - 17/9/03 at 09:35 PM

i wonder how many people,like myself,are waiting for the arrival of this book. will it ever make an appearence i wonder. has anybody any info , to give me some hope.


stephen_gusterson - 17/9/03 at 09:44 PM

the first and second books were not wonderful, they are a good guide.

Id just go ahead and do it. Lots of people have, and I cant imagine book 3 will be a massive leap forewards.

Im known to be wrong tho...!

Try the mksorely plans - they are hightly recomended by others.

does he do the plans for the i.r.s chassis cheers

i heard he was working on it. i think he does it for fun not reward so things probably take a bit longer, and understandably so!

have a look and see, or mail him, he comes on here and seems a nice clever bloke.

i have heard of roumers of the magic 3rd edition...

it is supposed to include IRS and producing a weather proof hood / side screens, though anyone who contacts haines for further details seems to get (at best) vague answers

it just seems to be getting perpetually held back

Q, what user name does R.C. post under????


stephen_gusterson - 17/9/03 at 11:15 PM

i have been on groups like this for 3 years and never seen ron post.


has anyone seen him at a show since locost ltd went under?


thekafer - 18/9/03 at 02:46 AM

Ron C. Was at the Carlisle show in the states with a real rough example of a locost. At least so I've read in kit kar.

If there were a third edition I would hope it would include more 'hard' dimensions,the missing scuttle stuff for example.

Just a thought,Fletch

I'm getting the impression that the supposed 3rd edition of the book is somewhat like a unicorn.


Metal Hippy - 18/9/03 at 01:46 PM

Very horny?

sorry


flyingkiwi - 18/9/03 at 01:49 PM



nothing like the thought of sitting down with Ron's book in both hands......


timf - 18/9/03 at 01:54 PM

Metal Hippy - 18/9/03 at 02:21 PM

Somebody scan it, I haven't got the 2nd Edition....


stephen_gusterson - 18/9/03 at 02:43 PM

All this time I was hoping she WAS the inspector!!!

Wishful thinking Fletch


carcentric - 22/9/03 at 02:48 AM

Perhaps she could be hired to represent you to the inspector . . . .


Rob Lane - 22/9/03 at 10:57 AM

There was a rumour that Ron C was back in the country and had been seen at a show.

I would think he would keep his head down as there are various people desperate to catch up with him!

I wouldn't hold out hope of a third edition.


Ben_Copeland - 30/9/03 at 07:25 PM

Has anyone seen the Ron Champion...

"How to build an off road buggy for as little as ........."

Think thats the 3rd Edition everyones thinking about lol
