I'm sure that this is just the start of something big! We're hoping the same, a future in the motor industry And if anyone's read the full build thread you will understand why we're so chuffed, he's growing into a fine young man and is focused , which was not the case a few years ago George wants to start all over again on another project And learn more in depth skills, luckily I've a good mate who owns a garage and he will be helping out there soon on Saturdays and picking up more skills and tips It'll probably be tea making and watching, but it will help Just look on any street corner these days and see kids wasting there lives and causing mayhem.... George ain't going there!!! He' has met a good few RR members and has taken lots of advice from those people , particularly Grizz who he has great respect for Today has just made the whole thing worthwhile Again thanks All RR members who have helped with parts and just being there with encouragement , this place is superb!

Just look on any street corner these days and see kids wasting there lives and causing mayhem.... George ain't going there!!! Hes lucky to have this oppertunity to have something to be focussed on. I had my first car at 15 (authough i was working on my dads cars before that). All my mates were lost as far as having something to do other than causing trouble. I had something to do. Not only that, when they passed their driving test they all went out and drove like utter pillocks, and couldnt understand why id go to all the trouble of building a nice, loud, fast mini and not join in with the crazyness. Because I had respect for my hard work that had gone into the car, and respect for the road and all other road users also. George will gain all this and id consider it very important to him. Good luck to him and his future path into any car related career. I bet he feels

'George wants to start all over again on another project'
And so it begins.... I have three sons, who between them own 11 cars, all except one are stored at my house! Number two son specialises in getting complete running cars, and turning them into incomplete immobile sheds, which block the drive, and prevent me from even getting mine in, let alone anywhere near the barn!
Number one son has set fire to his RRC three times so far, and is becoming quite proficient at fitting new wiring looms!
Number three son doesn't even have a licence yet!
Well done George, keep it up, cause your Dad as many problems as mine cause me!
'17mm socket dad? No not me, I didn't have it, must be one of the others.....' even tho' I have about six of them.
Anyone else have the tool stealing fairy come to visit?

Awesome stuff!
All credit to George for such a classy car. It would've been too easy (especially as a young 'un!) to cover it in spoilers and stickers, but a few well chosen mods and accessories, along with some fastidious detailing have resulted in a show-winner! Respect to the judges too for thinking outside the box when they were doing their job.
Keep it classy George! :-)
