it`s my dads & wouldn`t mind grabbing another if i could, but don`t really feel like sending big wads of cash to england for a new one, would rather all you guys find one for me in the back streets in an old shed or under a tarp somewhere, that`d be nice :-)

cheers & hurry up will you, my other projects are all becomeing runners so i have to find another one to start on :-)

Thanks Jai, i`ve PM`d you , cheers.

GT,,, As they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder",,, & in this case my dad is the beholder of said Marcos & one of only 3 made here in Aust as far as we know so a pretty rare beast indeed.

Jon (feral) i`d like another Marcos if possible , but a Jem would also be pretty cool. I was going to take a mould off the top of this one , But just to make am "Upper Skin" for use with a space frame but figured i`d ask around first

jbeenz,,, There`s only a couple of wood stringers inside the floor & they`re pretty well sealed up from any outside infuences :-)

Hhhmmm,,, "Beer Holder",,, does that mean that i`m beautiful??? I Am drinking beer :-)

Thanks guys, that Jem looks cheap at the moment, but a few more days to go will sort that ,,,Plus shipping it out here, plus duty & customs & broker fees & GST &&&&& Might have to pass, but i`m watching it anyways, thanks Jon


I really do have enough projects on the go,,, maybe they`ll all be finished & running by the time my grand kids are my age, but then i`d have to actually have some kids of my own for them to have kids of their own for that to happen yeah??? or can i just buy some grand kids off E-bay???

But i really would like to make a circuit race marcos/jem,,, bullet shaped turbo twin cam 16v injected mini some-"thing" really makes the heart start to pump hey? can you just imagine it??? :-)
