yeah heard he bringing it down, he was gonna to the last one in april, but things were delayed for him big time, that and the weather was shate!!!!!

hopefully weather can stay fine for this one!!! im still trying to locate a decent venue for taking pics!!!, the last two times we went to a big retail car park but 'chavs' are always there and would be nice to find some where quiet where were not associated with em!! then back to the pub for another shandy!!

Talked to him on Sunday, it sounds quality what he's done, I believe he has primed the paint but can't decide what colour to spray it. This made me laugh cos he's done all that work yet can't decide what colour to paint it ?;D He's got tvr dials, red leather dash with stitching and cream leather seats. He's not online anymore that's why he's not been heard but he said he was going to send a CD of the build to Rich but I guess he hasn't yet. ?:)

By the way, the guy is unbelievable, he makes it sound like he's built a car with a meccano set, made it sound so easy! ?:o

I'm becoming a convert to campers. Was gonna build a buggy but after staying with a group of camper owners at Bug Jam i am beginning to change my mind.
Have kept tabs on the prices over the last year or so coz a lot of the people i know have them. And others on the RTTS egroup are looking at buying.

Now the garage rebuilding is underway i can start to think seriously about it.
