Owners Club
Hi,
Is there an active owners club on the go? I've just completed my hayabusa powered velocity with only the SVA to get through and i'm
looking for friends to play with....
Anyone have any experience of the SVA test centre in Cardiff??
Regards, Rich.

I woundered this at stoneliegh, but never got round to asking question.
Could do with one, I think there's gonna be a few of us desperately trying to finish cars before the summer buggers off.

Aye, I wandered around stoneleigh on Sunday but couldn't find an owners club pitch - nor any velocity's for that matter! Heard there that
luego gone bust - gutted. Hope it doesn't mean that my car is worthless now!!!

Thanks for the link. I think i registered on that some time ago but got no reply from them.
Anyone happen to know approximately how many Luego's are on the go? I think i had velocity chassis no 33 but that was 14 months ago.

Nice one, let us know if they do. I spoke to Grant a couple of months ago on the subject, he reckoned that they were looking for people to organise in
their local areas...
How far are you into your build??

How'd you know what No. chassis you got? I bought mine in March 05 (hope to be finished before summer dies, but have no idea what No. chassis it
was.

Aye, that's right - i got the number from luego - not sure how you would get one from them now though. That said, i believe it just needs to be
a 17 digit number so i suppose you could give it any chassis number you want?
Anyone building in S Wales?

Hi Richard
Yes I'm building in Cardiff. You're way ahead of me if you're thinking about SVA.
I've had my velocity chassis for 2 years almost to the day. I don't have a chassis no - get one when you need it was the word from Grant
and co.
Anyway at the moment I'm more concerned about such matters as what bits are pure Velocity and what can be had from elsewhere like windscreens,
exhausts and such.
Are you local to Cardiff?

Barry, i'm near to bridgend so quite close really - how far into the build are you??
Also to clarify - the chassis number i have is: luegoveloci200332. Not sure that they sold 332 chassis though..... I don't know whether luego
kept a log of these numbers when they gave them out? It might be a task the owners club could take on i.e. find out what chassis numbers are
registered and provide subsequent numbers to those that need them.

Bought it in Feb last year - but you are right, it does seem to read that way. Pretty sure the chassis was manufactured last year though 'cos i
specified the CDS full cage.

Just joined as well to see if it prods anyone into action..

I do have some pictures, i'll try to get them on the weekend. I should clarify - when i said full i meant roll bar with 2 rear stays and
diagonal in cds, not full as in the scaffolding job you see in the race series!!

You should be able to choose whatever 17 digit cahssis number you want...providing it doesn't already exist. Mine is LUEG0VIENT0V82005.
Have got Viento Chassis # 2. Slightly different dimensions to the later ones, but means I can fit slightly wider seats 
Anyone in South Essex - Brentwood/Billericay area?
