See you at Exeter soon.

Cheers

Can't wait to see it in the flesh
 
That is looking just awesome Gus :cool: :)

Really looking forward to viewing the Roadster at Exeter :)

I trust you are making the most out of this fine spell of weather & enjoying life on the road :cool:

Where is the drool button on here ???

Gorgeous looking car Gus. I'm looking forward to seeing in the flesh in a few weeks :D

gus 12th October 2010 04:22 PM

Trying to make the most of the weather. Dave took a couple of the lads up the road in it at lunch. I can't drive it in my steel toe caps.

They both came back with daft grins on their faces, must be that roadster bug again!!

Dave is wishing his was on the road. Have to get his ass in gear and get on with it.

I'll bring some absorbant granuals to Exeter with me and put a ring around the car if you think you'll need it David!! lol.

See you soon

That looks sweet!!
Can't help thinking that all of the roadsters that have been build over the last year or so look really well made and professional.
I think we are uping the game over some of the rather bad looking original locosts I have seen over the years, well done guys!

Note (not all locosts look bad some look ace just saying the haynes with saturn bodywork looks as good as a MK)

Looks fab,

where are your side repeaters though?

Well said Mike, just what i've been trying to get across over the last few months and i believe we are starting to get away from the Locost culture. Helped by cars looking like Gus's and others Haynes cars on the road to date.

Plus when you look at MK's or other similar, more expensive, cars there is very little between them.

Well Done Gus......AndyH :D

Great effort Gus see you at Exeter.
Plenty of questions to ask :D

leroybrown911 12th October 2010 08:55 PM

Looks ace, well done. Cant wait to finish mine now! best get my finger out :o

Nice one Gus. Only one problem, caused an argument in my house. My wife has so far kept out of the build decisions. I have always fancied a Kawasaki green car, but I know how much the missus hates green motors, so I planned an all black car. I stupidly showed her your pics, and she's very impressed. She now thinks a green car is the way to go, so all my plans are scuppered!!
Do you happen to know the RAL colour for Kawasaki Green Spud69??
Anyway, nice car, certainly raises the bar for the rest of us wannabes!:p

HandyAndy 13th October 2010 07:47 AM

Wow, stunning, very smart indeed :cool:

It,ll certainly be a crowd puller at the show:cool:

cheers

CaptainCrash1971 13th October 2010 08:49 AM

If in doubt ask the spud!!!:)
Ta for that.

Enoch 13th October 2010 08:56 AM

Wow, that is simply gorgeous!!!
Very nice looking job, you should be well proud of that.

gus 13th October 2010 09:10 AM

Hi CC,

Spud is correct with his RAL number. That is the one I gave Fabby when I bought my body work.

I to thought about an all black car until I saw one. It wasn't a Haynes but it looked to plain in all black.

Dave Dew talked me into it in the end. He now regrets it as this would have been his first colour choice, lol. He'll have to think of something else now.

Thanks for all the comments guys, it really adds to the pleasure of building the roadster.

Gus

I'll have to start wearing a white tatey on me head and call myself "the Spud" then sell my memoirs 5 years later and make a fortune.

If Only......AndyH :D
