landrover598 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'm off the list as i've actually started my vapour build, still at bare chassis stage mind you. Seeing as Jim started his when i started building my first project, 2 and a half years ago, and i've not seen a single picture yet, he get's my vote.

SOA 93 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Ive got a new car........... only prob is its still in my laptop...... I think you can go and stand in the corner with Bill Van Snorkel, under achiever that you are! Can I nominate myself....bloody hopeless! Have a 88 SOA project leant up against the wall in the garage started 2005. Have big plans for my Disco, have had the wheels, tyres, axles winches etc. for 18 months and nothing has found its way onto the truck. Have bought welders, tube benders, saws, plasma......... The amount of steel tube, box etc int the garage is staggering. I see what other people on this forum do in there alloted time and I hold my head in shame. But I wasn't silly enough to start a thread thank God. Do you think this could turn into a sort of coming out party. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Funny but harsh……………. Maybe 4 names on there probably (allegedly) have a fair bit to show for their (or others) efforts………………………at least 2 may almost have a complete vehicle (allegedly) and that not including Will as a complete vehicle in a pile of bits doesn’t count…. I feel a bit guilty ………… I had a lot of plans for the year but only a small % got completed ………… I guess there is always next year….and the year after …etc Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Think I'm going to be out of the running soon! Mine is condensing rapidly. It is sitting on it's own wheels now. Jusd need a cage, a coat of paint and a bit of fettling time and it will be off the road. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Cruel Tony,.... so Cruel But Funny as **** I know that Si Rs exists, moreover each time I see it is has progressed strongly, so he's an interloper on the list and should be thrown off it for cheating (ie building something ), as too has Mr Wightman, whose excuse for the time taken so far will prob revolve around the feeble excuse of bulding a mammoth workshop to buld it in - Tsk, such feeble squeakings.

Les Brock Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Mines not my fault.......Honest.......... I'm waiting on Mr Turner and Co....who's only had it only since the end of May ...and keeps doing events and enjoying himself rather than extracting his digit and giving me a big Christmas pressie So I can enjoy myself as well so thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it !

Jen Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Quick and concise: VOTE WILL! Simply for starting with a lovely truck in the first place and getting distracted by fast rollerskates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrode Finger Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I could nominate myself, but i have built one truck this year, and am helping twizzle resume the build on his after 14yrs in the garage. I have an idea for a new light build that gets eluded too now and then, its been a sketch and a chatted about idea for 4+ yrs now!! Just ask, twizzle and sheeppimp, they have too put up with my ramblings......... but it is top secret........ so i cant show anyone anything, cos then it would exist in cyberspace, and not be secret!!

FridgeFreezer Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Unfortunately he's now catching up fast, but Twizzle deserves an honourary mention for having his truck off the road for 14 years For sheer amount of talking/posting versus visible progress Mr Warne has to get my vote, turning up to the last two club playdays in a lotus that struggles to drive over larger lumps of gravel gets bonus points. Given that both have vehicles in a similar state to Mr Warne's, Dan & Jen could go on the list, although their starting points weren't dismantling a perfectly good truck plus I've seen evidence of work on both their builds recently - even if Dan seems to need a prod with a sharp stick quite regularly and keeps grumbling about not having a garage. Although Jez's truck is more vapour than solid, he's got a rather fixed deadline and the Stig on hand so anything could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 i think Les (H) is getting away lightly here. of all the other people i know on the list i have seen their truck running either prior to dismantly (Wills) or in build progress (Puggy) or pics SiRs. but Les' who i believe started before all these builds, i have never seen running or pics of it as a complete vehicle prior to during or post build ( post build pics due 2012) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 It's got to be our Rocket Scientist - he has a workshop, cool tool toys, at least one engine and gearbox (IIRC) axles, yet there has been no appreciable attempt to join any of them together - he just makes noises about being in a "foreign" country..........

Les Henson Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Well I did put him all together (pretty-much), but then I took it all apart again Ignore the grille - I was going to cook some burgers Oh - and the light covers - they are a bit pants too!

FridgeFreezer Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Good point, Al is (still) committed to vapour building and seems to be stuck on the "buying toys" stage of the build. Double points for buying a whole running UniMog and taking it apart rather than just painting it a less gay colour and going playing with it. Although it cost considerably less than Will's wanton dismantlement of a perfectly good challenge truck, it does rank highly in the "taking apart a perfectly capable off-roader" stakes, possibly higher than Mr Warne. Also a steering box for said mog appears to have arrived on my doorstep for Mr Al, I'm having to keep moving it every half hour to keep it from inducing subsidence on the patio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Lets not forget Will is the Champion 2006 so 07 would be a Double! Will could even do the treble of 08 at his rate of progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
