It's a shame your going to be putting the buggy on the back burner! As long as you don't give up on the beast!

I'll ask Rich to do some videoing, when he gets back from his hols ;) I'd ask my lad, but he's poorly!
I'll get some posted as soon as possible ;D

Wonder if Max has a video?? I might have to have a ride up ;D

Hahahah Yes steve, just not on this friday, next monday or next friday. Those are my last exams :) I do have a video camera that could possibly be used :) You're welcome to come up and get a video of it giving it some stick on a road like the A686 or one of the passes in the lakes ;)

I've just been looking at 7 day forecasts, it's a bit vague, but the forecast for saturday morning is showing patchy rain and cloud, but i will keep you updated :p Saturday seems to be the same as the rest of this week's forecast has been, and so it is likely that it will be sunny and rainy :) It does seem best about late morning actually.
I shall PM you my postcode and phone number if you need directions or a contact.

Nah -- spoiler looks OK in grey  :p  That gap twixt front and rear sections looks a little disconcerting ----  not from a structural point of view -- just aesthetics  ::) Other than that --- excellent, but EXCELLENT, build  :D

Thanks Holy!

I'm not sure about the spoiler colour???? But I have some black paint for the galv sheet in the centre section, that should make it look better!

^Dad enjoying the beast that is mary after a rather quick 36mile blast up the pennines :) Mary is a beauty now, brilliant acceleration and a rather modest top speed (Pah!) It stuck to the road on tricky bends etc unless Steve gave it some encouragement for some well controlled powerslide. It also sounds totally amazing when it's about half a mile away buzzing along country lanes!

Thanks again steve, It gave me and my brother inspiration for a build thread update ;)
Maybe a roll cage mount next time to do it justice, I'm awful at holding still at your speeds! :p

Cool, I'll have a read! I bet your brother loved his drive in Mary, his ear to ear smile gave it away!!
I'll have to build a camera bracket for behind the screen ;D
