Hi all,

I'm Simon. I found this forum and the threads looked interesting...well at least the titles did, hence this introduction!

I'm interested in engineering generally, anything that's made of metal including tanks, trains, planes, ships, plant, engines (particularly aero piston engines) etc, etc.

I've recently started building a go-cart for my son which is based on a 1920/30s racer. It's designed and built from scratch. When I get chance I'll upload some picks. Be warned, someone described it as dog kennel on wheels, so be gentle with me.

Regards,

Simon

Hi Simon and welcome. Would be really interested to see your project as I also have it in mind to make one for the grandchildren.
