Hi Guys,
Let me introduce myself. My name is Phil and I am a massive motorsport enthusiast - F1, Rally, NASCAR, Touring cars, Le Mans, anything with four wheels and an engine. I am a software tester but should have been an engineer - I did Mechanics and Electronics at college and the first year of a Mechanical Engineering degree at University but just couldn't quiet get the maths.
When I was young I wanted an AC Cobra and asked my Dad how long it would take to buy a real one if I saved 1 pound of my pocket money each week - 900 years! So I decided I would build my own. Without a garage to do this in, I have had to wait until middle-age to buy my own house with a garage before seriously starting to think about doing this. I am practical and can build IKEA furniture and put up a shelf, I even serviced my R5, but nothing like building a real car.
I am hoping to go the the Kit Car Show in August to see what I am letting myself in for. There is no Mrs at the moment to justify this to, so full steam ahead!
