  2. Hi all,

    Thought I would try a new venue this month at The Greyhound in Yarlet near Stafford and Stone

     https://www.thegreyhoundinnyarlet.co.uk/

    To be honest, I will be at the start of my training for the prestigious event they hold there and was hoping others might join / support me. I reckon ill get up to speed in maybe 18 months to 2 years.. Please see link below

    I will be there from 7.30 in the kit (or not if its raining). Everybody is welcome and the food is good.

  3. Yes Mac 1 have a good pedigree on and off the track. There used to be a few of them on the Locost Builders website, but like the rest of the kit car world, in the past few years, the website doesnt seem to pull as many folks it used to.

    Beware of asking if they are a branch of MK. LOL

  4. Quite a few have done the Landover conversion in the boot. Only need a more powerful pump for the turbo engine s.

    Have a look at Matt's if your at the end of season bash.

    Btw if you go the engine bay option. don't have your swirl pot under the exhaust headers like mine has. Put it on the other side. It boils my fuel on hot days when the fuel level is low

    I just don't get trikes at all - all the disadvantages of a bike AND a car (you get stuck in traffic and you get wet), with no upside that I can see 🙃

    Love that Golf - I had an '88 GTi many years ago, my first car that actually had any power! Like the wires hanging under the dash - very kit car like 😄

    My trike is for sale Neil.

    First dibs????  🤣

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  6. Hi guys and gals. Just a reminder for people to rummage about in the darkest corners of your garages or wine cellars.

    Donations are required for bingo prizes for EOSB. This can be anything car, household, bric a brak or just about anything.

    We do not need any old Sierra clocks though.

    We can't seem to shift them🤣

  7. Beautiful coloured car BTW. 👌

    There has been a decline in organised run outs over the past couple years. I suspect I know why, but I dont want to hear the dreaded word again.

    Lots of clubs have gone to the wall and some have picked themselves up sharpish. Some clubs are more about automotive problems and building whilst others are more  about run outs.

    Rhocar was a stable mix of all of these things, but I agree, we could do more run outs (I am also guilty of this of late).

    For anybody wishing to call for a run out, then just try it. We know there are informal run outs with close groups. But maybe a post on the forum would be more inclusive and productive?
