A car build, noice. yeah I hope you start a thread an keep us up to date!

Perhaps polluting this place with build updates and photos isn't the best thing to do? I guess it'll be ok in the non F1 section? As an alternative I've been playing around with blogging software and I've lashed up a "blog" on my home server. I'm not much of a blogger really, not my kind of thing as I don't do anything interesting! However, when this project starts I will need somewhere to track progress as it is useful for IVA to have a concise record of the build, so I thought I'd give it a go and see how it works out.

There are lots of free blogging sites, but never wanting to take the easy route I decided to implement an "in house" open source blogging system instead. Been tinkering with this for the last few days https://morinis-blog.f1banter.co.uk - you chaps can beta test it for me to make sure it works 

Tried to give consideration to PC's and mobile devices and it does seem to work on mobiles (not great though, better viewed on a laptop sized screen). I recommend the dark mode as it is a lot easier on the eyes. Apologies for the lack of decent content, but I'm primarily going to use this to record my car build once I've gotten it under way. I also integrated an "in house" comments system. I noticed a lot of the comments "plug ins" used existing services on the web, I'm not keen on third parties having my data so I installed an open source comments system to keep it all in house. Comments can be added anonymously after they have been moderated by me, or if folk take the time to create an account they can comment without moderation.

Still trying to sort out the finances at the moment so I'm not in a position to put in a kit order just yet. I want to see some in the flesh examples of the two cars I'm considering before making a final decision anyway. Hoping I can get to the National Kit Car show over the August Bank Holiday weekend to pick which one I'm preferring (I reckon the decision is already made, but I'm trying to stay open minded).
