That king pin inclination makes my head hurt trying to figure out what the geometry will be like when it turns...

Beautiful bit of work!

Looks amazingly like a Finch shed with a combination of a lot of previous observations!

Hi Guys,

Yes I've finally crawled out from under a rock & am going to have another play.
Hi Rhys, well spotted!
Hi Clemco, nice to get a look at what I'm trying to copy!

Hi to everyone else!

I've kept a low profile because I wanted to finish last car (I'll try to load photo)
It's been a while since I built the last 'yacht, but easier to do these days.

Welcome back Bill, I'll have to get my PM out of moth balls too now!! I don't think I've sailed it since last time I dropped past your place to see the LLM, due to all the... well you know why.

Right! I certainly hope that pic' is of your new Land Yacht Bill?? The Mast should go about 300-400mm in front of the Rear View Mirror.. If not then I don't want to see it again as I have just turned a Bilious Shade of Green.. Sod!
Anyway as the others said welcome back.

Hmmm, replace the front wheels with a single front wheel in front and I think you may be onto something there Ron!!

Anyway Vindi and mini-vindi look almost as good.

You mean you haven't got one of those in the shed I thought it was a land yachting thing to have a '7' lurking. One day I might even finish mine...after the Scimitar
