Hi wightsparks,

Tell us a bit about yourself?

Any cool projects on tap?  Prior experience?  

Do you have the winning lotto numbers?

Oh no another Brit, they let anyone in here! (... eventually  - that image thing took 3 goes!)
Anyway Baloo pointed me to this place - I have an English "Sandrail" - meaning it looks like one of yours,  but lots of road use with the occasional venture into the mud, unlikely to ever see sand. I bought it with a 39hp Beetle engine and a VW swing arm set up. Ditched that lot for a Miata 1.8 at 139hp and a Porsche 944 IRS back end - bit faster now. 8)



 Looking to build another newer one but not quite decided what yet.

[EDIT] How long does this image thing when you post last as they are pretty difficult!

I'll pm him

but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

hey wightsparks
                        good to see you here, you will like this place they are a good bunch of guys with a great depth of knowledge who will help out where ever they can

I still have a hankering for a uva fugitive like yours   I did bid on an engineless one on ebay a few weeks ago but it went north of £1000 so I gave up, too much money when all I would probably use is the number plates lol

anyway welcome

Thanks Baloo! Yes the Fug's seem to hold their value - which is good as I will need to sell mine to make room in the garage for next but one project that I am still undecided about..

Thankfully the captcha and question thing on posting seems to have gone now. - It was a forum thing not postimg.
