Hello and welcome, post some photos, we like photos!

I built Meyers Manx UK-00-002 in 1999/2000 and still have it.

Welcome. Exciting times if you are in the home straight of finishing the build.

Today's PHP vulnerability is causing mayhem on many web sites so I expect you'll be able to post images soon.

Any plans for showing new buggy off in the roads or at shows ?

Postimages account??? That's perhaps why i can't post images. Is this something easy to set up?

That looks terrific and definitely needs to be seen in action and at meetings.

Really well done.
