Chris you arse!
Youve made me sort of meet a realy nice bunch of people, cost me a fortune, made me learn a load of new skills that will stay with me for life, and because of this stupid half built thing in my shed - I decided to stay in the UK and not go travelling!!!
Seriously though, great book! its realy REALY gave me something to focus on over the past 8 months and cut my boozing habbit considerably

Hope I get the pleasure of meeting you with a finished roadster one day

Guys

Although not building a Roadster I did buy the book mainly for the pedal box plans which I'll get round to making at some and to be honest was just a damn good read.

Although easy to get embroiled in the events of recent times I have this life code that I go by, which is, I treat everybody as my friends until I learn otherwise.

I met Chris a couple of times at Stoneleigh and had a bit of a chat and also gave him a battery that HandyAndy gave me to him if I saw him, he seemed like a genuine sort of guy and pleasant to talk to. I also met a few others that I now consider to be friends which is really nice.

So hopefully the recent events won't stop us sharing our knowledge & friendships, life's too short and sometimes personalities clash, things calm down and we either move on from where we left or proceed to pastures new, either way you'll still have people around you that appreciate the work you do and the support you give. So thank you Chris and take care.

Regards

Rich

Thanks Chris, it was always a dream of mine to build a car your book has inspired me to get out there and do it. Yes I know I have a temperary halt on it at present but she will get built.

Thanks

Rich
