So that was slightly easier, using the media tab did make it a bit easier, the output result seems a bit odd though?

So that's what we got, at least we can post a larger file, I think this one was 2.8mb.

but the problem is you have to upload one file at a time, and if you have lots of other files already there, it's quite easy to " loose " the file you just uploaded in the list.

So it's still to time consuming to do it this way, I think the blatchat team need to look at improving this asap. 

Hi Ross,

as I mentioned above my Son Tom was 10 for her build of my Superlight Twenty back in March of 2016.

He did get quite involved with build, with some small supervision he fitted the radiator and steering rack on his own, he is capable now of left and right hand threads, and with some guidance used the torque wrench too.

However like most 10 year olds his attention span is limited, so he often got bored, and was more interested in going online on the Xbox to play with his mates.

This time surprisingly my daughter, who was 6 at the time, seemed to get more involved and got hands on to the build, she helped assemble the roll bar, the seats and the steering column too, if fact she got more enjoyment out of it than Tom did.

Whatever it is a great experience for them, and I was asked by my children's teacher if I would do a talk and overview of why and how we built it to the rest of the class, which I really enjoyed.

I still think most of Toms class buddies did not really believe we built a car, and even less that Tom and Lucy bolted a lot of it together themselves!

Have fun with it! 

A better picture now we have gone full aero!

Fantastic Craig!

Let me know when you are coming down to Brunters, we go there quite regularly so we could easily meet up.

Enjoy your car, I'm already loving mine, and gone full aeroscreen now too!!

Its looking very good Rich, your making great progress.

With you at the start of your build, this is what you have to look forwards too, i collected mine from BookaTrack this week.

Heres some photos of my collection day from BookaTrack Caterham.

Wow she looks fantastic Craig, enjoy!!

Collected mine this week too!

Quick update, my car passed its IVA test first time yesterday, Friday 6th May. A big thanks to the team at Bookatrack at Donington Park for all of their help and support. Now the wait for the reg paperwork to be completed by dvla Swansea.  

hi will,

she's finished and has gone off to Bookatrack for the Post Build and IVA next week.

lets hope I have not put too many wrong bolts in and it won't be too hard for the IVA pass!

here she is having her post build today at BAT.

Thanks for the comment, yep that's what they look like when they arrive as a kit.

Basically a chassis and about 30 boxes and wrapping for all the bits.

I will,post more pics when I get time, but the way the image post works on blatchat makes it a very long and laborious process.

Here's the picture of the big day - delivery day!

Fantastic news Craig. I bet your bursting at the seams with excitement! 

We look forwards to seeing lots of pictures! 

Looking forwards to seeing your build! 

Fantastic! 

I am going to be doing much the same in March 2016, when my kit build Superlight Twenty is hopefully going to be delivered .

my son Tom was around for my R500 build in 2008/2009, but as he was only just three at the time he only really got to watch the build.

now at a much more mechanically cable 9, he is much more interested, so it will be fun to build it together!

your 420R looks superb, and looking forwards to all your posts on the fun challenges of a new Caterham build!

good luck and enjoy!
