Newark show
After waiting too long for a part built project to turn up, i have bought a new MK indy deluxe kit on sunday {or rather Timcrasher persuaded me to!!}.
Partly because i found out first hand how strong they are also!!! {video footage will be available shortly } Anyway, got all donor parts on monday,
ie: 4x4 rear end, type 9 diesel box, 2ltr zetec, etc all for £200. Was going to go for a bike engine, but after hearing Tims hastles every day whilst
he was building, i thought id,e go for an easier option!? Still if i get stuck, i can get Tim to do it!!!!!! Cheers for now got to go to work and bug
Timcrasher.

I think you must be mistaking me for someone else, if you think I'm gonna build it for you.
The only reason you have bought one is that you have been so impressed with my god-like driving skills on the two occaisions you have had a lift. .

IMHO a good choice Roy, certainly tough cars. Cant fault the engine choice either, dont think BEC's present more build 'problems'
just different ones! They do take some getting used to though.
Tims defence.
I may be wrong but hasn't Tim got a 3.14 diff installed... very easy to loose traction on a greasy road with that gearing. Easy mistake to
make. Anyone would have done the same...
The reckless man may not live as long......
But the cautious man does not live at all.....

Yeah. If its any consolation Tim, the back end of ours stepped out on the same roundabout on the way to meeting up.
Roy, look forward to seeing yours at Huddersfield in August then (Great Northern Kit Car Show)

Cheers, Spunky and Hellfire the backhander's in the post.
Just been out for another run up the bypass and back to check things are ok. I accelerated passed a car in fifth gear and the rear wheels just lit up
on a damp bit .
I had a sense of deja vu.
Roy: I'm read for Donnington on the 5th, are you ? Or is you trusty rusty festa still subsidising the Saudi oil companies?
