[bazzzzer]

[dodgydave]

cool, it be good but will it end up being just you and me?

[bazzzzer]

hopefully other people will see there is some interest and want to join in ;)
sometimes people just dont wont to be the first to say i'll do it , but then get encoureged when they see others mad enough to want to give it a go :D

[dodgydave]

hopefully.

dont know bout you but im thinking box section chasis with a vw bug engine as its air cooled, it wont need water cooling :)
looks bit like a lotus 7.

bit like the one that was on the wacky racers from scrap heap challenge

[bazzzzer]

not gave it a lot of thought yet ;) but alot to consider to keep to the £500 budget though :nod: need to go and do :sleep: and think about it :D

[marty_t3]

The biggest stumbling point on the rules is whether to use MOT'd cars or not.

Can each team decide whether they want MOTs or not and give me the teams vote. I'll ask the same question to each team, add up the votes and we'll go with the option with the most support. Can't say fairer than that.

I could be interested, if you think I could be of use :thumbs:

[bazzzzer]

that would be good :thumbs: the more the merrier :D

I could probably compete in a reverse scrap heap challenge: take a working, useful vehicle and turn it into a pile of scrap :wack:

i can see that happening :)

R sendout you be more than welcome to give it a try.

Should we mot it?
This means it be drivable to the events :)
but i has to deff stay in the £500 budget.

all we need is a garage or space we can all get to to work on our toys.

ive been qouted for a double garage in bournemouth for 375 with electrics :)
i know bournemouth mini owner chairman uses same block and would help with spares, welding etc :)

[FullMetalGasket]

There's a small group of us up here in Bristol that are up for it aswell :nod:
Trouble is it's a fair old way from Bristol to Bournemouth :wack:

I'd guess it's probably better for us to have 2 seperate teams really (plus me and SteveB already have some plans ;) )
Thoughts people?

[dodgydave]

bristol and bournemouth is a bit of a trek, but prehaps we meet and convoy together if goes ahead :)


OI beast 1600 are you going to join in and play?

[bazzzzer]

yea thats the problem with the south west being quite a large area to cover with crappy roads as well :rolleyes: and on the south coast here with sooo many oldies , who think they cant breath at anything above 25 mph :rant:

[FullMetalGasket]

Lol, I'll start up a thread for all doings' relating to the Bristol team and leave you guys with this one :thumbs:
