This thread has hit the 100 pages!!

We hope for completion before the 1,000

Scottie22 · #**1983** 20th March 2015, 20:41

I bet all your posts add up to more than 100 pages WCA!

WorldClassAccident · #**1984** 20th March 2015, 21:33

Probably - my job sticks me in front of a computer for 10-14 hours a day with me needing to pay attention for 3-4 hours so I spend more time on here than necessary.

Keep up the postings. I always look forward to your updates and REALLY looking forward to seeing the real thing at Stonliegh

Scottie22 · #**1985** 20th March 2015, 22:01

I'm beginning to wonder if I'll even make it there, the work just seems to keep coming, and it all takes so long, but I will carry on and hope.
I am really tempted to ask, if you are on the pc for 14 hours and paying attention for only 4, WTF are you doing for 10 hours, watching porn?

WorldClassAccident · #**1986** 21st March 2015, 06:59

If you search carefully there is stuff other than porn on the Internet

Couldn't agree more. OK, so I do a bit of car building. I can handle it. I could give it up tomorrow if I wanted to. No, really I could...

Scottie22 · #**1990** 21st March 2015, 11:20

Boo Hoo!
everyones on at me!

Scottie22 · #**1991** 22nd March 2015, 13:16

Sunday, and I have started on the final rain channel, it usually takes a whole day to fabricate one, and finalise it, so I may not complete it today, as I have other things to do, but we will see.

Scottie - I am sure you will be glad when the last rain channel is done.

I know it has been a ton of work, but they will be yet another nice touch on your build.

Good luck, Paul.

That sounds just like my mate, the one who is addicted to brake fluid- says he could stop any time.

Scottie22 · #**1994** 22nd March 2015, 20:03

I certainly will be glad when the last of the rain channels are done
Paul, the odd thing is that, I may never get around to making a roof, Probably will never drive the car in the rain, so why the hell am I bothering?

I'll tell you why, when I was looking at the only XKSS replica I've ever been close up to, and the builder told me it leaked badly, I swore to myself that mine would NOT leak, hence all the extra work on the channels.

Scottie22 · #**1995** 25th March 2015, 11:05

I have finally got the last rain channel made and in place.
For some reason it proved more difficult than the other three to make, and seemed to drag on forever.

Thankfully, I had the experience of the other three to stand me in good stead, so it was possible.

Normal life really got in the way, friends came to visit, and interrupted me, they no longer seemed to be put off by, "piss off, I'm busy", I think they have become hardened to it.

I just kept chipping away at it for moments at a time in between everything else, til it was finished.

Anyhow, here are some pics:

Links please

Scottie, good to see you continuing the great work, and I hope to see it at Stoneleigh.
This month's Octane magazine includes the statement about a Lynx XKSS which sold recently for £260,000.

Scottie22 · #**1998** 25th March 2015, 14:56

Thanks for that y cymro, I'll check on the mag, and I also would like to see my car at Stoneleigh!

I'll have to keep at it though, it seems like there's still an awful lot to do.

( Liked the " links please" joke!)
Is he serious? ARE there other things on the net??

davecymru · #**1999** 25th March 2015, 16:08

Hey Scottie,

I had a trip down to the Haynes motor museum today and I've got a few photos of their XKSS (a replica I think?)
I expect that you've already got loads of that car from every angle, but I can post what I took on photobucket if they'd be of use/interest?

Scottie22 · #**2000** 25th March 2015, 16:59

Go ahead and stick them on this thread Dave, I may not have them!
