Hi all
I popped into Ultima on the way to Birmingham on Friday morning (not the NEC) to pick up a couple of bits.
Every time I go which is not that often, I am always made very welcome and given a coffee.
I know they often get stick over the build manual and rightly so, but they make up for it in helping in any way thay can, so hats of to them all, especially Dave who gave me some valuable advice regarding the bodywork, at the expense of some araldite he had just mixed up!
It always helps to see the cars in the flesh to find
the best way of doing things. Ten times better than someone trying to explain something over the phone!
It must be harder for people outside the UK to build these cars without this access.

my 1st visit to the factory was an 'on spec visit' just to see the cars in the flesh. Ted made me very welcome and ended up having a mini sales pitch and a white knuckle demo in the can-am. this was in between potential customers with appointments. Top marks.
By the way, anyone with a can-am, hows the soft top in the wet weather?

Yes that was my RR.
If you build the car on a dolly you don't need to buy brakes and coilovers until very late in the build.
I was there to pick up my gearbox but they had a deal on some brakes and a wing.
Strange journey home, £1700 car with £7550 worth of parts in the back and a £250 trailer with £7000 worth of engine on board. Did wonder what the insurance company would make of it.

Steve_D said:I don't think the insurance company would be interested in either the car's or the trailer's contents. As I understand it your comprehensive insurance covers damage to or theft of your car but not the contents. If an accident were someone else's fault they would then of course be liable for damage to any of it.
