Northampton Locosters
I`ve just picked up a nearly finished Locost which has a number of things that need addressing before it would be ready for an SVA. I`d like to take a
look at a couple of SVA`d cars and maybe get some input on mine, anyone on here help out?.........Martin

Where abouts are you? give us a couple of weeks to bolt it back together and I'll need a drive to check everything out.

Oh, how much space is there to park several very fast cars outside your house, as this may determine how many turn up!
We could manage 5-8 cars easily, more if you wish to annoy people!

Depending on where you are , I am in Rothwell and have a car on the road was SVA ed in 2003.
It is presently on the road but I am about to start an engine swap to a zetec as soon as I have all the bits ready and sort the snags involved.
A few of us meet at the Overstone arms in Overstone on the second wednesday of each month from about 8pm onwards.

Yes - would be good for a really valid reason for a run out - stop SWMBO from looking at me like I am mad!
Let us know where abouts you are - I know Toady1 (Liam) is still after a run out in mine, so that would give us a valid excuse for a reasonable
trip!
Needless to say this is weather permitting!

Another good point here from Jud, about time I had an excuse to fix it and get out again before it snows.  I quite fancy a ride in yours too at some
point, as mine's the only Indy I ever actually been in!

Beer and cars?! If it's not raining you'll be fighting us off with a stick.

Can do. Have to be in the tin top, as I probably won't have time to change the clutch on Saturday.  Also, the Missus won't let me.

Yup found Milton Malsor on multimap - simple run out for me.
Will need to keep an eye on the weather - I'm a bit of a fair weather MK owner!
Are we still going for it if it is raining - i.e. a social rather than a car event?
Cheers

Even if it`s raining it would be good to meet some of you on Sunday. I didn`t realise there was one so close to me Trev, when would be convenient to
come and take a peek?.........Martin

I'm up for it regardless of the weather. I'm with Jud on that, I've only driven in the rain once, and don't intend doing it
again soon! Blooming scary getting spin at 50 in 6th!

I'll second that motion. If you don't mind me turning up in the tin top.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I've got an almost SVA ready Locost built from scratch by my own fair hands. You are very welcome to come and have a look at it, but it's
not as shiney as Trev's. I'm on the East side of Northampton near Great Billing.

OK then - I'm up for 1pm on Sunday at the Greyhound. Rain = tintop, no rain = MK.
Looks like you have a couple of local cars you can look at - so you can cover your SVA cribbing even if it is hammering down at the weekend!
Cheers

I've got a book locost SVA'd 2006. You're welcome to have a look anytime, although it's in winter upgrade mode (in bits) at
the moment.
It's not as shiney as Geoff's though!
......and it can't fly like Trev's....
Sorry Trev, but the film the other day brought back so many fond memories.
