yep, you're definitely in the 3rd teardrop club. And there is no cure.

I told Chell yesterday that I am building my last one, and she said, then what are you going to do, sit down and wilt away? Heck, you're only 50...

so I think I'll be building a few more...

Next year, the new and improved winter warrior.

The year after, who knows???

Thanks Mike ;)
It is going to be aluminum clad this time, not fibreglass, Miriam.
The list is to long to put here. Suffice to say that this one is a lot simpler than the other two, littlecritter.

And, lastly, yes I'm gone, Heikki ;) Sad, is'nt it? :lol:

Kerry, If you want to know what's really frightening is the fact that I already have the suspension, steel for the chassis and timber for Number4. :? I definitely need help but cannot find it anywhere. :shock:

Cheers

Paul, Great progress. I'm still retro fitting my ideas into the first one. It's still fun- and one of these days I'll start another.

Good job. :thumbsup:
