Newbie saying hello

Postby Dave Walker » Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:11 pm

Hi all
I have just joined the site and thought I would say hello. I live in Seaford East Susssex and brought my first kit car two years ago a Pilgrim Sumo MK2 based on Cortina MK4 running gear .I was told it was Capri based but after tracing the builder discovered it was Cortina. Its using a 3ltr Essex V6 matched to a 4 speed box I believe from a Capri . Its not over powerfull but suits my pocket. I did look at building my own but time and budget ment it was cheaper to buy a built car.I have no complaints at all with the car I just love it and its something I can add to as time goes by.It is currently sorn but will be back on the road 1st May when I hope to join in with the Eastbourne Historic vehicles parade.I have sent the application but I may be to late.
I am a junior member of the Cobra Replicas Club and we have a small meet on the 3rd Wed of the month which should be starting again soon so I am looking forward to that.Hopefully I will get to meet some of you as the weather improves
and the meetings increase.
Regards Dave :

Hi Daxmatt
As I said in my intro its not the most powerfull engine on the block but so far it has been very reliable and not prone to overheating so I am more than happy.
