By the way Martin, what's the spec of your car?

I'll check with the SHMBO, I'll be in the tintop as the locost is in many many pieces.

I will as long as the weather is reasonable, at present I trust it more than the tin top as that is using more water than diesel.

I'll try and make it as I'm similarily about 5mins from the Greyhound. Will probably be in the tin top though as well as the Fury
isn't taxed at the moment.

Good point that. Mine does appear to have lost a few bits of trim. Oh, and the speedo sensor has gone south, so that doesn't work either!

Mines mostly still as it pased the SVA.
It has grown an aeroscreen since but still has most of the nut covers etc on it , I made a permanent job of the covers so as to not look out of place
and provide protection for the bolts and dampers etc.

Does anyone who is coming tommorrow have a `concise` SVA list that would apply to a Locost, i`m wading through a PDF at the mo and a lot of it seems
not to apply to an amateur build?.......Martin

I have some info relating to Westfields but very much the same , i will bring it along, have you a print out of the PDF info ? if so then we could go
through that and ammend it as much as possible.
The weather isnt looinkg to good and suspect i may have to come in the tintop.

The main thing is figuring out where the floor line is from the cone shaped contact thigny, and then radiusing everything above there. Then radius
everything inside, and watch the dash bottom edge radius too.

Ok, lets hope the weather holds off so some of you can give your cars a run out. I`ll be wearing a black and red NASCAR jacket so you shouldn`t miss
me..........Martin

Good to see you all there. I trust that you all had safe journeys home and that we will all meet again sometime soon.
Enjoy.

Nice to meet a few new faces. Should be a suitably large gang of us soon! We can go terrorise the local car clubs!

Sorry I didn't make it today guys - real shame as I'm only 5 mins down the road.
SWMBO wanted to go out for a romantic walk etc and I need to earn the brownie points so I can go to Autosport then on the lash in Brum afterwards next
weekend.
If you do another one I'll definitely be up for it.

See the thread I've just started about a meet near Silverstone, at the Green Man. Hoping for the end of the month sometime.
