The Beast Lives.......Finally!! First start #8419
I assume that you have all been through it? Wondering if the build will ever actually end? Am I making any progress?
Well after a couple of false starts this afternoon, I have finally woken up the beast, and I can't stop smiling - maybe I will finish this thing after all! Can't wait to drive it now. It sounds fantastic, way better than the video.

Congratulations Mate!!!!!! (In my best down under accent)
It sounds AWESOME!!!!
I just have one question.....
Since your steering wheel is obviously on the wrong side and your toilets flush the wrong way.....
Did you have to change your firing order cause your distributor is spinning the wrong way too?
Can’t wait to see your first go cart!!!!

If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough....
