No 23 was a WOMAN!!!
I think her name was Laura from Worksop area.

Yes, there's more than Fozzie. She built the car herself at Oundle, I believe. and made a damned good job of it. Crossflow engine, book chassis.

Mine's number 14





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Well, somebody had to!

No. 23 was very well finished, with some interesting details.

Mine is number 19 if you hadn't already guessed. Longest trip so far, approx 75 miles each way trouble free.

6 and 7 were our babies - the first time they've been seen at a show together since mine (6) was finished 2 years ago.
Nearly didn't make it this time due to a dodgy water pump! Replaced it at the show and was fine for the journey home. Wanted prize for dirtiest engine bay after a couple of pints of rusty water pissed all over it!

Pic 10 gets my vote. i was amazed by the ali bodywork. Ive seen pics before but they dont do it justice. I cant even begin to imagine how hard that nosecone would have been to make. Fantbloodytastic.

pic 13 a close second.


It has to be said that there were some very nicely finished locosts on show. A real credit to all of the owners.
