I checked out Kirkham website and a copper Cobra couldn't get any sexier if Jessica Alba was driving it in a knit bikini.

But, I really want to build my own car. More than half the fun of flying the Vans RV is knowing that I made every rivet in the thing (about 10,000 of them) myself.

However, when it comes to the engine -- I'm going to need some help. When I chose the engine for my airplane, I was lucky enough to find a company that allowed me to come to factory in Texas and spend a week putting together my own engine, under the watchful eye of a master mechanic.

I learned then that there are a lot of things that can go wrong and when you're dealing with things that spin around and go up and down thousands of times a minute you really need to know what you're doing to avoid VERY costly mistakes.

Just like the plane though, I hope to learn enough while making it so that I can do the majority of my own upkeep.

Mike -- I'd like to catch up when you're in Singapore if it's convenient for you. You can send me your itinerary at "fncceo@yahoo.com.au"

Thanks!
