Thanks Guys.

I made it from plans in a book with all the sizes ready to transfer on to the plywood. Its a half scale.

Ian, funny you should mention the V8, I bought the 4 cylinder months ago when it was on special offer thinking it may squeeze under the bonnet, now i realise i could easily fit the V8 model in there, next time mate ;)

I have driven it but it's not very comfortable.I prefer the wheelhorses to drive.
