Building my own car
A while ago I decided as a hobbie that I wanted to give it a go. I was in need of a hobbie as gaming was getting samely so I started collecting a box of parts and gradually putting bits of car together in sections. Initially setting up the bodywork, the 4 cylinder engine and after alot of confusion with different gear sizes got the gear system setup, I eventually unveiled my creation to the rest of the family.

I was dead impressed. A photo of this and another project I've worked on.

Also a lorry conversion which I'd completed too.

Tbh though neither failed to get faster than 5mph....I couldn't push them faster than that.

WOW
I *always* wanted that car. I dreamt about it.

I got it for my fifth birthday
it was aces, although the gearbox was frankly beyond me at that age.

seats, steering, engine, suspension = fine, made perfect sense to my young mind and were all present on my self designed creations. my dad had to do the gearbox for me for the big one on the box though.

the gearbox was a bugger to get right
Did eventually get it working though :D

I got this...
I think I actually 'squealed' with delight.
