Hi everybody....1st post just had to relay my experience today when Spud took me out in their saturn sportscar roadster ...one word
A..W..E..S..O..M..E ...well I can think of some others but I won't go there. I had already bought the book and discovered this forum and to find SSC were only 20 minutes drive away it was an easy excuse to want to build one so I am now slowly going to begin to amass the parts and ask all kinds of Q's some of which I am sure will be going over old ground but us noobs will always perpetuate that.
Had a long chat with Andy (thanks for the time) and helped me out with a few thoughts (still fancy the ca18det engine though Andy). So hopefully at some point in the future I will be starting a build log just as many of you have and look forward to a challenge and a bloody fast car at the end of it
cheers

A very warm welcome to the forum

I can well imagine some of the thoughts that went through your mind whilst in Andys car

Any questions, just ask away.
Plenty of help & advice to be had here

Welcome.

Saturn seem to have lots of visitors which is gr8 news.


Roadster seems to be becoming a strong proposition for new builders,

I think us northern builders will be amle to have some good meetups when we are rolling

Welcome Kevin, someone's going to crap themselves in Andy's monster one of these days Damn good lads at Saturn, always willing to help and to go the extra mile.
Like I said, welcome to the looney bin, it's a damn fine forum.

Hello Again Kevin,

Glad you've posted and sounds like you enjoyed the ride out as much as me we'll get your wife out next time, hope you didn't have to do too much shopping afterwards. Sounds like it's your turn to do your shopping now.......

Couldn't push it out there too much though as roads still damp and greasy.... PLUS got my TOYO Proxes going on next week.....

Just a reminder for all Track Day at Teesside Autodrome - 9th April All Welcome..

Any help or advice Kevin you know where we are......

[K4KEV]

Cheers for all the welcome's guys (n gals if there are any)
it is nice to know that there is a wealth of info on this particular marque that I will be able to tap, especially oooop ere in the far North and again many thanks for your time Andy....I,m sure I will be a regular visitor given my proximity to your works 20 and boy is that car a beast it has given me the incentive to 1 loose weight (it was a tight fit )....2 search my shed and loft for things to fix and flea bay them (got lots of stuff to repair) 3....capture my youth
(I built a vw nova back in the early 80's) ain't it great when you can find excuses to build a roadster. Yeah Flyerncl.....my grin was kinda chesire cat like but god knows how many times you have seen that recently.....nice little set up you have there Andy I hope it goes from strength to strength....right getting late now so its book (Mr Gibbs) or ebay for a bit

Hi Kev
I too have taken the spud69 experience, still laughing about it.
I think we found the right forum, they all seem really helpful, really friendly, and of course mainly really MAD
I'm in the same position at you at present, just looking for the right donor. We'll have to keep in touch during our builds, we only live about 10 miles apart.
Good luck with your search for your donor.
Alan

Alan & Kevin

I don't expect to see you Two having a fight over the same local donor car

You'll probably end up in an fleabay bidding war without knowing it

Good luck in your hunt for a donor chaps
