Seriously addictive watching that stuff. As someone who'd ridden bikes for over 30 years I used to be quite sad that I didn't have that level of talent or bravery/lack of self preservation (delete where appropriate). These days I'm quite relieved I don't! :D

Sounds really good and I'll be reading your build log too. Not that I can afford one mind you - Tornado are only down the road from me in Kiddie so I'm interested to see what their motor is like.

I have an additional question beyond brand names. I think all the pics of the four post lifts show them on the floor surface, which of course means checking the approach angle on the ramps. Has anyone looked at chasing out their floor to have the ramps recessed? Naturally this would be much...

Sorry to hear about your friend's Minor - being both small and a very old design they really don't stand up too well to a hefty shunt. Thank goodness he wasn't in it at the time. Still, fun to work on them and very easy to muck about with. The really annoying thing Randy is that my other half...

Thanks - I did think a little earlier that I might end up being the proud (and slightly worried/excited) owner of a spaceframe chassis being advertised on eBay for literally a few pennies, but in my eagerness I didn't see the very large and clear writing below the pic saying the auction was only...

Hello all, I thought I would sign up to this forum as it does seem to have lots of very interesting info about all things GT40. I will most likely never have an opportunity to own one - real or replica - as time/money/themissus/ seem to swallow any savings I get to scrabble together, but I've...
