Smile Thanks Chris

My build is at last on its wheels ( Pictures to follow soon )

In light of recent events, I would like to like to extend a big, big thank you to Chris Gibbs.

The Haynes Roadster book came at a very low point in my life .

Without boring you all with the details, I have been dogged with serious health problems for the last few years.

It was Chris's book that gave me the desire to make the most out of my personal situation.

For the most part, I have enjoyed each & every moment of my build.

The support of this forum + the personal support of Chris, has been invaluable

Once again. A big thanks to Chris.

I can't really put into words, the difference that your book has bought into my life.

I can relate with my buddies above, it helped me get over a very bad time in my life and gave me something to talk about with dad during the 6 months sat at a hospital bedside. Have a great holiday Chris. A personal thanks as well. I recently celebrated my build Birthday, but really, I started cutting the steel 6 months before setting up my build table.

Its been a shame some of the crap going on recently on certain forums, but we like your jokes and humour. That' why we all come here every evening!
