Been smiling ever since.....Still need more power though, its surprising how quickly you get used to it...

Close, but no cigar...1st Feb for me...Just checked my reg document.
And yea as you say it is suprising how quickly you get used to it.
I will be looking for more power come the winter....

Only joking Slim, I wont ask her because she can talk underwater without O2
and forgets to stop,even in her sleep ! I really cant be bothered tonight.

It's still a good idea and who knows how long in the future the forum and original contributors will continue to contribute,bearing in mind "The new book"
we will have a new toy to make after the Roadster and I hope it brings as much dubious pleasure to one and all as the Roadster has.

Dont let Stevie Wonder proof read it Mr Haynes !

wow upto 24 Roadsters in progress with 2 more starting shortly, plus the original 5,

best order some more plaques Slim

some of us that were at the Stoneleigh kit car show vowed to have our cars there next year so hopefully there should be at least 10 Roadsters on display in 2010, maybe even more, would also be nice to see the cars currently being built overseas at the show.

Would I still qualify if I built a live axle roadster?

Both sierra's and cortina's are scarce over here and escorts just don't exsist. Waiting on finding my donor before I decide exactly which way it goes.

(Budget says the cheapest donor I can find)

First 10 gold
Second 10 silver
Third 10 - plastic or dyno tape lol!

fourth 10 = felt tip marker pen


on a serious note ...

is everyone happy with the suggestions that have been put forward so far ?
any other suggestions welcomed , as this is a forum , its open for discussion, is this plaque idea something that would be wanted by forum members?

this is just my opinion , if the Roadster chassis is the main focus of the build but needs to be adapted to make use of what "available " donor parts are obtainable due to location / availability then i,d say yes its a Roadster, after all the book "suggests" the donor parts to enable the plans to be followed from the book.
thats how i,d see it anyway.

Thanks Andy for supporting the idea and completing your entry.
It's best to keep the 2 lists as one item until it gets too difficult to handle as copy/paste
I hope that the 33 persons claiming to have started join the List.

Andy, I only saw this reply last night. I must have been sleeping when following this thread.

Thanks for the reply.
