F'kin horrendous IIRC... Issues with slapping a FWD powerpack in the back of a car - engine's too far back and, importantly, too tall.
Yup. Those issues are pretty obvious. You disappoint me :blackeye cos I thought you'd be the man with some factual numbers :wink:

Righto,

The event is on the Sat 21st Aug, (I have no control over that) and I will be running a training event at the start of the event from about 11am till 12:15 (or thereabouts) The event will then start at about 12:30, which you will be able to take part in, to get some further experience. Cost will be circa £10, and you will need to join the club, which will also cost circa £10.

So those interested, please step forward!

Kenny, I would love to do another Team SE shed project, but don't have the time just now to find a suitable car, or trailer....

I'll get full details up soon. The event will be held at Johnstone (near Paisley). As long as I know who is coming, it will be fine to join & pay on the day.

Cheers
