True 'locosters' are miserable because it takes so much longer to build your car before you can drive it, compared to buying a box of bits
and bolting it together in a couple of weeks !!

They are also miserable bacause they have the skills to build their cars from scratch but end up spending all their spare time wiring other peoples
'kit' cars so they can get on the road before the locosters!
Eh Jason!!

I suppose the Locost is the modern equivalent of a hair shirt - only true devotees of pain and discomfort would want one!

The more you feel the pain, misery and repeated bludgeoning of expectation with reality, the more you earn the right to drive.
and a freezing cold garage helps. Leave the doors open if its not cold enough, too.

My garage seems to warm up with the doors open!!! Ive just had to dig out a T-shirt with sleeves! Its getting bitter up North. Luckily still warm
enough for shorts!
OOOpps- just realised i cant join in this conversation, ive not built a locost. Im like that imposter we are always looking out for, you know what i
mean - like the ones who build a car then tarnish it with a funny little engine!!!!!

...and kit built BECs with IRS are the best. The rest of you just keep asking the question until you get the answer you want because of the time
you've spent fabricating your inferior de dion CECs.

Nope, not yet! It's nice to read someone elses point of view - I've read books by John Robinson and john Bradley and they're all
right!
Smashing......
p.s. Sylva.....

I hear RALLY DESIGN have got a new delivery of reverse units in for the BEC boys.....
Free tin off Kiwi included.
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Losers!
If you cant even derive the necessary physics and chemistry from first principals, source and process your own materials, then design and build your
own engine and all other parts and necessary tools, just go and buy a Toyota Corolla!!
I'm currently deriving calculus and some Newtonian physics with which i hope to understand the chemistry of combustion and how it might be used
to provide useful force/torque. I hope to have a working engine within 10 years. By then I should have all the ore dug and processing equipment
designed and built to continue with the rest of the car.
I can see the trickiest part being deriving the necessary maths and electromagnetism theory to design the starter motor and alternator, but I think
it's fair enough to use my university notes as i did make them myself. Certainly no point asking you lot!
You all just carry on cutting up RHS with your expensive shop-bought hacksaws and buying in engines, hubs, calipers, etc, etc (which you all probably
think grow on trees - bless). Ron Champion Locosters, Caterham Owners - all the same to me! Waste of space.
See you on the road one day! (that's if I'm walking on an adjacent pavement of course. I only plan to operate my car on my own hand laid
road - once I've sucessfully developed my own tarmacadam from base materials).
