stillp Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Great video! I helped a neighbour (well, I passed him spanners) build one of those from the Lotus kit in the early sixties. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tim hunt Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Great video Hamish, the car was very impressive, wonderful for a short cross country blast but I couldn't live with that gear whine on a long run. Good dd technique into 1st but the driver got a bit carried away at 20.30 and cut the corner a bit naughtily into the side road, it looked to me that a low slung vehicle could have been hidden unseen behind the hedge. Also, shortly after telling us how important it was to 'make sure no one's coming out the side' at 23.30 he takes a left hander without a glance to ensure that no one could emerge from the minor road on his right. I would not be a comfortable passenger! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
