Sounds like a group to me....:-) My first question... I'm finding that I will need to widen my cockpit...it's just to tight for elbow room...any comments or...
Welcome mate, and every one else.... I'm hoping to form a select group of knowledgeable, interested people who are friendly to the self-built middy cause.... ...
Yoo-hoo! It's only me; I just popped in to say hello and wish you luck in your new home. I did buy you a house-warming present, but I ate it on the way over....
... Alan: Are you running into interference with the frame or the body work? If the frame, the top tube might be made into a "V" to clear your elbow. Bob...
... Hi Bob, and welcome. It's mostly the body work that is the problem although frame widening would give more seat room, and there is room with the body to do...
Hidey Ho there neighbor! (Not really, but in the age of internet...) Alan - what's your physical specs? Since you'd like to market the Meercat I think that it...
... Good points. I have the chance now to make these changes with little effort. How many sales would I lose "because the cockpit is a little roomy" compared...
in the great white north... Interested in the Locosts and the Meerkat...Actually contemplating a Ariel Atom, Meerkat , Mid engine Locost as rear wheel drive...

Hi Stew, and welcome. I too am a fan of the Atom, and many of my concepts have gone and may still go in that direction. As you say, the availibilty of suitable...
Hi guys, just a quick update before I update the website. I put the car back up on axle stands again so I could work easier on the body mountings. It seems...
Hi Alan I've been watching your website on and off for a while now and am very impressed at the way the project has developed. When you get the car into...
Hi Keith, Thanks for joining. I hope that many of us can get involved and have some input here. Your name is duly recorded for the export model...:-) Alan ... ...
Alan I have just been looking at the photo section on this site and if the photo of you sat in the car has the lines drawn on the tub for a rework around your...
Keith, Yes, the lines drawn do show the proposed rework. The seats have yet to be chosen, which is another good reason for chassis widening too....more choice....
I'm blatantly copying KB here from his Kimini group by asking everyone to introduce themselves, and tell us all something about their projects, or interests. ...
Howdy. I'm a 42-year-old sheet metal estimator and born again motorhead in Oakland, CA. I've got a Stalker V-6 in the garage which runs very nicely (and bloody...
Berkeley, Thanks for the bio., feedback, and kind words. I think your observations are spot on (well I agree with them at least..) and neatly sum up my goals. ...
Hi all. Well I'm a 41 year old chronically underemployed enthusiast. I've always wanted a high perf auto, but having kids at 17 sucked.. But the kids are grown...
... Alan, to me the most awkward part of the Meerkat has been the nose/front fender/bonnet. It seems to me that the best way to stay true to an austhetic...
Stew, It's certainly an idea with merit...I'm working on possibly changing the front suspension on the next version (finish this one first, I hear you...
