Don't worry about it Dave, and I think you mean Jodel for the aircraft...it used to be manufactured but I think the majority now are home builds.
As for testing the car ...I have found a disused factory very close by which has an extensive area around it which will be ideal for me to test the roadster, (but thanks for the offer Paul). Got one more ramp to make and the the lighting board to fit, then I will be in full shakedown mode getting all the "little stuff" done.

Don't know many from up there David just the ones who frequent NFS or people I have met up there repairing planes etc.

If you are stuck for a tow car Kev just shout and I will give you a hand no probs.

As I posted previously I don't think he would mind and it would be fun to try my Quattro against some ones Haynes.

just remember where ever you do it make sure its somewhere the public cannot freely access. i.e park your car in front of the entrance to stop anyone getting in.

Are those rims on the hubs back to front? Also you might want to weld some wheel chocks to the front of that in case you hit the brakes and the Roadster carries on in to the boot of the tow car, just a thought.

Will be getting a hammerite job soon.

Well spotted Phil....yes they are .....I dressed a small grindstone to have a 60 degree cone and then ground the back of the mounting holes to give them the necessary seating angle, it was one way to get the width of trailer without having to search for some wheels with a silly negative offset
