This is a read-only archive of the old Madabout Kitcars forum. New posts and replies are no longer possible, but every thread is still here to browse and read.
Gents, I got to thinking about where all the Sammio cars are, whether fully road legal, at a stage in build or even at the planning stage and as an experiment, thought I'd turn to google maps.
I've seen this done on other forums and it could be of use to find that there is another Sammio enthusiast on your doorstep that you hadn't even known was there.
Click 'Edit', Search for your post code (or city centre if you don't want to give away the exact location) and 'stick a pin' in it with relevant comments to say which variant you are building and any pertinent stuff. I've started with a red one for Spyder so maybe we could agree on, perhaps Light Blue for Cordite, Dark blue for G46 (or something like that).
If you find you can't edit the map, or if you have problems in any other way, feel freee to pm me your details and I'll happily add it to the map for you.
I think that as long as we keep with the idea of group-ownership, then that fits in perfectly with our whole ethos of being not-a-club, so we don't have to rely on individuals (such as me up to now on the other thread) to do things as we can all chip in

Could not peg our location, would you do it for us
This is useful, I have just seen that there is a Spyder man in Romsey, just up the road from me and one near Portsmouth.!
I have also made the leap and ordered a G46 for delivery at the start of May.
I see there is another G46 in Stanley, only 100 miles away! Thats is useful
I will be passing by on the way to Middlesborough this weekend, is the G46 really at the bus terminal?
Sorry Guys, bit slow at this sort of thing so left my details, but on wrong thread, what number are you? Didn't see the idiot guide, probable because I'm an idiot!! Will see if I can sort it myself, regards simon
Hello Andy
I hope you do not mind me asking but I would like to take advantage of your good nature and offer of Sammio location plotting help.
I am poor with computers and the simplest operations leave me helpless.
If you could put me on the map I am twined43 and building a Cordite no.6 on a spitfire chassis with 1500cc spitfire engine and gearbox with overdrive.
15 inch wire wheels
Probable colour scheme old english white with dark red interior-Gary at Sammio is arranging a pair of Cobra seats as they are the lowest and the floor pan is not dropped.
My address is CM6 1ES -Gt. Dunmow Essex
I will try to sort out some sensible photos for the web site soon.
Thanks for your help (if you can)
Regards
Bob
Hi Bob, welcome to the Sammio experience. I appreciate you say your computer skills are limited but it would be nice if you could put a build thread together and post some photos of your progress. Do you have any youngsters in your family that could talk you through the process?
Lurker converted to a builder added to the map!
Cordite No.13 with a GT6 donar (that needs a lot of work).
I'll start a build thread as soon as I figure how to fit everything into the garage!
