New 'Build your Own Sports Car.......' Book
All,
I may been sniffing to much 4 star over the last couple of years, but I am sure that I heard a rumour somewhere that Ron Champion was going to write a
revised version of book? You know, the one which has helped us all spend more than £250.
Anyone know any thing about this, or am I just stoned!
Cheers,
The Baron.

It was revised and now includes how to build the car "and race it" mind you that was a few years ago.

i think everyone has missed the point of this book! i reckon the whole idea was to have a book lying around for the wife to see to keep her of the
scent

So is there any further advancement on this? I've scoured the web and can't find any evidence of a new book, although there are loads of
rumours about a Sierra based book.
What Gives?

Someone put a brochure in my car at Donnington on the Sunday when it was parked in the Locost area. There was a yellow car on the front that was also
parked there, believe that was the car featured in the new book . Don't think it was Ron Champion though?

It uses sierra running gear with full irs drawings provided I've been informed and is based around a +2" chassis iirc. Demo car was built
by mk.

"Make you own children's shoes on a budget" by Chris Gibbs
A new Haynes manual, part of a series commencing in January 2007 as a part- work in the Locost Owners Club Digest.
Part 2 will explain how to make pants.
Come to think of it, my kids need shoes too so buy some smut today.
