Welcome to paulb.

Please reply to this post and share a little about yourself especially location (not your specific address though!), interest and experience in cycleKarts, any particular skills you might be happy to share...etc

Some tips:
Visit the club's website and read "What is a cyclekart?" and "Build your own"
Choose an inspiration car
Have a look at the Events calendar on the club website and come along to an event
Start a build journal - it’s great for others to see your progress and for you to ask for advice
Join the club

Hi,
As a result of a post by Chris Loader on the Caterham and Lotus 7 website, I have joined the club!
I am based near Market Bosworth in Leicestershire which looks like it is reasonably close to many of the venues and events. It looks like a great opportunity to learn new skills and partake in gentlemanly competition. I have spent a good few hours looking at the GB and other websites and have already made myself a full size side view mock up of the Stevenson template. I have projected various inspiration vehicles onto this using an LCD projector, which gives a good  impression of what might work.
I know my way around cars but I have few metal working skills at the moment, but hope these will improve in time. Being fully retired now, should give me ample time to practice.
I note that there are a few forum members quite close to me. Is it the 'done thing' to contact them direct to arrange  viewings of their machines?
Looking forward to meeting other members and seeing their machines.
Paul

Hi Paul, welcome to the Forum. I am in Northants and you are welcome to have a look at a couple of cyclekarts at mine. PM me for details. Also see if you get to one the meetings coming up like Stretton.
If you can drive round corners, you're not going fast enough.
