    Hello to all

    I'm Samuli from Helsinki, Finland.
    I've found my way here by following Finnrodder's path.

    I will be spending time mostly on reading and enjoying your work of art.

    I am life long car nut and grew up with local V8 Magazine dreaming everything V8 powered. I have gone through phases of different love affairs with cars from different locations of this globe.
    Latest one is a mix of fibergl***, bad english electrics and self made hurricane.

    Closest to true it self I got in Escondido, where I was taken to local crusing nite with blown open top '32

    Cheers
    Samuli

    Hello & Welcome. I remember reading a book a while back about this type of homemade car. Looks like a fun ride.

    Thank you for your warm welcomes.

    It is mad, handles like a go cart. It is power'd 1.7 old Ford Kent and it really flies, with it, modern 2.0 16v or bike engine makes it faster than "supercars" and this one allow's legally install Rover V8 in it. So, TVR 4.9 in car that weights with it 1200 lbs, tho I dont know is that fun anymore, outright scary I would think.

    Midwest hello, Sami! That ride looks part sports car, part dun buggy. A nice car to tour back roads and forrest.
