It all started on 11th september when my blade engine packed up. I decided i would take it off the road for a couple of months and buy some new bits and tidy it up.

So after about £3000 spent and nearrly the whole car rebuilt i finally took it for its MOT on saturday.

Didnt get there,- clutch cable snapped DOH!
Now after being really excited about getting it running for summer i now feel like i'm falling out of love with her.

does any1 else go through stages of hating their car?

I always had a love-hate relationship with my old RH, but once you get it back out on the road and feel that smile on your face, you know it's all worth it.

I'm sure I will be exactly the same with the Locost I'm building now.

Isn't that because you keep fiddling with it. BTW have you got that auto launch sorted yet ?

If only cause I need some more cash to progress
