Do It Yourself…
Recently I’ve got into the bizarre habit of building my own stuff. As a keen, but entirely incompetent, amateur musician I’ve made a couple of penny whistles out of plastic conduit tubing, and a mandolin out of a kit of selected tonewoods and parts that my marvellous wife got me for Christmas. A discussion with a friend who is a keen kite-flyer (with all the fancy stunt stuff going on) has me thinking about knocking up a home-made kite or two as well.
But if I had a bit more money, any mechanical ability at all, and a garage to do it in, what I would really love to have a go at would be one of these sports car kits from www.gtmcars.com. (Click the little pic for a better view…)
I think that looks great. And imagine when people ask where you got the cool car…
“Oh this? Ah, it’s just a little something I put together in the garage…”
I want one. My birthday is in May, and I did a pretty good job on the mandolin that Mrs RoadWhinge got me for Christmas… What do you think are the chances?

And a snip at only £12,000!

Absolutely. Looks very reasonable to me. When you see what some kit companies are charging for vehicles that don’t look half as nice…

That car is sooo cute! I want one! How many of these are there? I wonder if my boyfriend will build it for my birthday instead of getting flowers.
