I am always massively humbled when I see talents like you fellas, Mike, Gav and indeed others. Makes me wish I'd chosen engineering as my career path. Well briefly ;-)

Truly inspirational. Keep it coming.

Cheers guys, thank you for the very kind comments, just try to do the the best with what I have available to me.

Tbh, even now I stand back and look at the cars (especially the exige) and can't quite believe I built them... weird I know!

Any chance of the Exige being at Croft on the 3rd of July? I remember watching it in awe at the last Lotus Newcastle track day.

Rapid was the word that sprung to mind!

Seven years I have been on SE and Ive doubled my post count in three days… Slow down guys your wearing me out!! 8)

I was hoping to be at Croft yes and was planning on the bringing the new track Elise. I ran it up for the very first time at Anglesey at Easter, all was good except a few small oil leaks off the new braided hoses to the laminova, pretty sure I have fixed them its just that I want to make 100% sure everything on the car is now tickety-boo before any potential new owner takes it.

Tut, my pleasure mate as always!

Would love to see your Elise with S_E Gav, I am sure there must be some twitchy fingers out there.

When you are doing projects as good as these, you need to be on here more often. Plenty of guys on here love this kind of work and it's nice to see and read about it. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing the pictures and write up of the Evora when you get it.


Cheers,

Steve.

Had a pole about the engine bay last night. Hard to believe it is not factory.

I did not think it was a Sanjoyism, just thought he rather liked the engine bay..
