Default An introduction

Just wanted to say hi to everyone

I've just bought the "Build your own Sports Car on a Budget" and I'm looking forward to building another kitcar for myself.My first attempt at building a kitcar from the ground up was a Formula27 back in 1992,it took me 5yrs to complete,I know,I know, a long time,mainly due to money/time/first baby on the way etc.I finally finished it in 1997 where I competed in the CCC hillclimb championship.


Ending up selling the car due to kids/financial/real life reasons.
Years later I rebuilt a VFR400 NC30 R3,this rebuild took approx 18 months of hard work etc with a lot of custom parts.

Which ended up like this after 2 days of being on the road

I haven't rode since the accident(2006) due to the fact there are just to many idiots on the roads.
I had a trip to Cadwell Park the other weekend which has sparked my interest in cars/motorsport once again.So the plan is to build a car with a bike engine or a BEC as I've seen them called!
Hopefully I'll get the best of both worlds,relative safety of a car but with the speed/sound/rush you get with a bike.
Regards
Darren
