A guide to the Cordite build threads ...

Paul L 5 May 2012, 12:20pm
The number of Sammio Cordites on the go seems to be growing nicely. :cool:
So I think it is time to start a thread than can be used to keep track of them all.

You can already find details of:
- Spyder builds here
- G46 builds here
- Location map for all Sammio builds here
( Thanks to DaveCymru & AndyP57 for setting these up )

Each new Cordite builder just needs to post their revevant details as a reply to this thread.
( Simply copy & paste / update the basic template below )
Then use the "Edit" button to update your original reply as the build progresses.
( E.g. when final wheel / colour choices are made, or an updated photo )
This way no one person is left with the job of keeping the list up to date.
Which I hope is in keeping with the Sammio "not a car club" approach.

Cheers, Paul. :)
