cars

When I was knee-high I used to stand on the drivers seat and steer the awesome red 1980's GMC Jimmy we had, whilst Dad did the pedalling.  Once I was able to reach some form of pedals, he took me to the local kart track and gave me a shove.

This led to many years of karting at various levels and a number of race wins and even a Championship win.  I can still remember Dad standing and pointing at the apex of corners with a big stick, which I was supposed to hit with my front wheel.

Dad's racing experience came from Formula Ford as a privateer back in the '60s, where he was well up there amongst the funded teams.  He was in the Navy at the time and could never race a full season as he was often on deployment, so that put a stop to his racing career going any further.

I'm currently building a 1925 GN Vitesse cyclecar, here's a link to my 'blog'.

Why?  Well why not...  Building a car is on my bucket list, so best crack on and build one!

I'm not doing this by myself - there is a limit to time and knowledge.  I'm eternally grateful to a particular friend who is helping drive this project forward (pun intended).
