What ho!  Squadron Leader James Tanner has a certain ring to it.

Looking forward to hearing more.

If that thing doesn't come with 8 x 303 Machine guns fitted I'm going to be disappointed!

Interesting!
We must avoid torturing our brains with false problems, it occupies but it can annoy. In jest!

It's getting closer to being a rolling chassis. I have used car seat runners to mount the pedals on and they have quite a bit of travel. A lever going to the seat should make it easy to adjust.

I like that idea. I may well incorporate it into mine so that my wife can drive too.
I'm not quite as green as I'm cabbage sounding.

I picked up a steering wheel for 30 quid off ebay that I think will look good. It's from a Nissan Figaro.

Figaro! Good idea - very nice
