May be a great idea for SEers to get together later in the year to do TD in the south. Any suggestions and who are interested?

I think that (not speaking from experience yet) that the Caterham kit builds are more assembling, rather than building IYSWIM, and are incredibly simple. All the dash, wiring and fiddly bits are already completed, so its bolt on the bits and drop in the engine (looks like the most challenging bit).

I think the cost reflects how easy it really would be.

I would love to do a self build, as then hopefully if it breaks you have some idea of what to do next with out getting the BIG hammer out straight away :roll:

After FF7 i can see a new, well used car sitting in my garage again......would be the 5th this year :lol:

well theres Oulton on Tuesday 28th Oct - £99 - open pit lane :thumbsup
or
cadwell on Sunday 30th Nov, £99, open pit lane

Surely at that minimal investment level theres a very good case for doing both :thumbsup
