Hello Ron, hello Morris!

I just signed up. The built-up thread back then was awesome. My problem then was when you didn't read up about it daily you lost track. And finding something from a while back became very tedious. Especially with a slow connection which I suffered from many years here in SA.

Build thread like that, as well as "The butcher's" 10 years ago and Kirkham's $1mio build (lately CSX3170) make me come back to the site.

I know from watching an old race car builder a lot (and helping him a bit) that you must constantly change things to make them work on the track.

He has '72 McLaren since 1975, which, looking back, shows what genius Bruce was. The Can-Am cars are so simple but efficient. The other genius, of course, is Jim Hall. He was just a bit too experimental to win often enough.

I don't want to mention Porsche... They saw, came and conquered...

A book would be great! I would add it to my C. Smith range.

Wasn't there a printer on this site? ;-)
