Miserable Locost Owning Barstewards!!
Much debate about the MCOB thread, so in the spirit of balance and equality-
I really hate them Locost building gits- them with their superior attitude -
" I knitted my car you know, it's SO much better than your purchased car"
and- "if you dont own your own smelt, then fabricate your own RHS, then you're a big jessie."
and people who have no intention of actually ever completing a car having endless discussions of IRS Vs. De Dion......
And most of them smell of engine oil and bacon rolls...

I love the oil / petrol / thinners / etc smell. Rally cars at a track on full chat is a particular favourite.
Im pleased im not a kit builder. Iam a developer / assembler of a specialist sports replica. Im probs more accurately described now as a Manager of
continuous improvement.
yes mark - you have unleashed a Demon. Damn you....

Draw the line at producing your own steel? Pah, I even distill my own petrol from raw crude....lightweights....
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.

I put plastic bags over all of our houseplants at night, to collect the CO2 given off, for use as a shielding gas.
Oh, and I cut all of my chassis tubes by gnawing them with my teeth.

I actually met my first caterham owner today (a rarity in the US). He walked into my office while I was looking at someones build page, then started
to tell me about all these people that try and build them in their garages, but how they will never own the real thing. this didnt bother me as I
really don't have a garage, but I showed him pictures of my build anyway, and challenged him to a race once i actually finish it (in 2011).
Kinda funny that this thread came up today

You must be a fairly laid back kind of chap then! I think I would have had to have lowered myself to his level with a bit more generalising:
"Caterham owners have to pay stupid amounts of money for a very basic sports cars because they don't have the talent to build one
themselves..."

I made my rear suspension brackets out of an old iron fence post, the headlight brackets out of a discarded aluminium stand from work, my own P clips
from off cuts of aluminium and rubber sheet, blah blah blah!
Just thought I'd throw in my two penny worth!
Cheers
