I had been told that Gus had made a nice job of his car then I saw it for myself Monday morning...Bit more than "just a nice job" Gus has managed to do a better job than quite a few cars on show in the halls, turns out he has never built a car before either....:cool:
Cheers for letting me drive it too and sorry I stayed in 1st and left the noisey bit alone but cider lack of sleep and knowing how far you had to go to get home meant I didn't want to be the one to break it..:)
Cheers.

Don't praise him to much I have got to work with him all day, and his head will swell!!
I know what you mean though. When it was in the hall at Exeter last year you would be hard pushed to tell it had been built at home, by a novice car builder.
Proves what it possible by not cutting corners, attention to detail, and taking your time.

True though he really has made a cracking job of that...my wooly hat is off to Gus for being fussy and taking his time. :cool:

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the kind words, it always seems to attract a lot of attention wherever I go. I think it is the colour!!
People are even more surprised when they find out it was built from scratch at home, and the amount it cost.
Cheers

Hi Gus,
You know me by now surely I don't say I like something if I don't and that is one fine and dandy car and to think you built it for next to nothing considering what others have spent really is a credit to you.:cool:
Cheers, Mark.

There you go, you've gone and made his head swell.
He has gone red though reading such lovely things said about him, lol.

Gus should be proud of the "green meanie" also I would say it's worth a lot more than it cost him to build too.;)

I agree with you. I just hope my own will be up to the same standard once it is finished.

I think Gus has every right to allow his head "to swell",
I too had the pleasure to see his Roadster & must agree it is STUNNING :cool:
A very high standard to follow :eek: :D Nice one Gus, :cool:
cheers

Glad to see that Gus's has kept it looking perfect, it was in a different league at Exeter last year at it's first "official" outing on the 3GE stand.

Really made a proper job of things and the green meanie colour suits it.:)
