That's better :)

Nice looking site. I use the same Joomla template for my Beer Brewing Site (http://www.brewersguide.org).

Websites are not realy my forte, which is a shame as I have been administering apache on Linux and Netware for over 10 years.

Oh no Rob, that's another 50 squid i owe.....:o

Only kidding, a very nice write up Rob and, as others have done, seems to sum up the business very well - except for the toilet (in the "store room" there is a nice shiny clean toilet reserved for the Queens visit).

Glad you enjoyed the monkey burgers and chat, always nice to see fellow builders of any car (makes you appreciate how good ours are for a fraction for the price....)

Will get you some beers at Stoneleigh.

Regards....AndyH

ps, i think you need a spell chocker.

pps, HAndy didn't tell me this one. "This was born out when Handy advised me to buy a Bargin second hand chassis rather than buy from them which was initilay my intention. " :) :rolleyes: :) not the one that Baz bought though

ppps, got my new Lorch Pro welding set the other day and it is bloody marvellous. A beautifully made machine and so much easier to use and less to clean up afterwards

Spooling wis neva mi string pint.


As for the chassis.. If I had not bought the completed chassis, I would probably have not advanced my plans ... Could have been a long time till I started buying stuff, I would not have been in a position to think about suspension parts untill probably next summer...

Getting a cheap chassis opend up the horizons and put the build in a much more atainable stance, enabeling me to comit to purchasing the bonez..

And also making the eventual purchase of the body a closer propersition.

I have only two worries on my build. Making a chassis ( sorted ) and passing IVA. So the whole project is now much more viable.

There's a saying... A bad workman never blames his tools.

Fortunatly that's Blueshid ...

My Clarke is pants, I had a SIP beforehand which was much better. I would love a decent mig that gave consistent results every time it was used. It's one thign that the OXY set can be relied uppon.

TT, my tip for the website would be to replace the 1.1 MB BMP photo with a 50 KB JPEG one. You can use ImageMagick's convert utility on one of your Linux boxes to convert the pic and resize it to the right dimensions (browser image scaling is a faux pas).

Really nice review TT, like Spud says, owe you a beer :)

As for suggesting you buy the 2nd hand chassis............I know you had originally intended to buy a flatpack chassis kit, but when the full chassis became available at a fair price ......I know that you felt a pang of "hope Handy won,t mind " thoughts from the PM you sent me,
like you say in your review.........Saturn & Handy are there to be helpful to all builders & not just "sell parts"......

We totally understood why the attraction of the fully built chassis was too much not to consider it,
We both ( Spud & I ) are totally genuine in our "passion" for the Roadster & will always aim to provide a great service at a fair price but above all a genuinely helpful honest service to all builders .

Thanks for the great review , :cool:

cheers

Good review TT, it confirms my own thoughts on Saturn. I wish it was less than 400 miles for me to visit them:( They have always been incredibly helpful, the stuff I have bought from them ( chassis flat pack, brake kit, will be buying some GRP soon) has been of great quality and comes with terrific support.

Ok, for the critical, I have put it through the spell checker!!!

Not sure why it was BMP in the first place, possibly cos I was not paying attention and using paint to rescale the image... Reworked in GIMP, but kept the image the same size as it's referenced elsewhere.
