Hello hello hello.
Based on the south coast, between Portsmouth and Southampton, general interest in engineering. No experience in cyclekarts, but have made a number of soapboxes and competed in the RedBull soapbox race 4 times, never built anything with an engine though! Not too shabby at MIG welding, as long as it's not tricky (box section good, tube bad). General metal fabrication is limited to whatever i can achieve with a wobbly drill press, and angle grinder and some hand tools, but i think that should be sufficient for a cyclekart by the looks of things. Not tried bodywork out of wood before, but have had a go at fibre-glassing, and get a bit better each time I swear I'll never touch the stuff again....
Definitely in the research & planning phase at the moment, probably with an aim of starting a build in spring 2023 (or 24,25,26...)
No fixed inspiration car yet, but leaning towards a Bentley at the moment...
