Just a short thread to introduce myself! I'm Si (better known as Frodo, hence the nickname) and I've joined because I have ALWAYS wanted a GT40... And I'm fortunate enough to be a DINKY and therefore nearly in a position where I can afford to build one :happy:
I currently serve in the Royal Air Force as a Weapons Systems Officer, which has mainly involved sitting in the back of Tornado F3 jets until now. I now instruct on a trainer called the Tucano in North Yorkshire in England, which is good because it means I get plenty of time to indulge in my other passion - motorsport!
I race a kit car called a Stuart Taylor Locoblade (imagine a cheap copy of a Caterham with a Fireblade bike engine) in various series, mostly with other RAF competitors. I didn't build this one but it has definitely motivated me to build next, and I plan to upgrade this car to a race (but road legal) GT40 :shocked: if the missus doesn't object too strongly...
I hope you won't mind all the silly questions I'll inevitably ask while I make my mind up
Regards,
Frodo
