Four Stars interesting!. JF said Sequel Madness. If you have ever gone to see the sequel of your favorite move only to be horribly disappointed, then you know how I felt after reading this book. It really is not in the same league as the author's previous excellent work. "Build Your Own Sports Car" is a classic and well written, but this book is really just a piece of fluff. The product you would get if you completed the project is merely a child's toy, and the instructions are poor. Skip it and buy the original book you'll be happy you did..

So first off, let's buy the wheels : The cheapest place I could find quoted me £130 for four (they were only small ones too). So that's the budget exceeded already without a single hole being drilled or a tube being cut. I doubt you'd get a donor motorcycle for anything less that £100 that wasn't a useless pile of scrap. Then there's the steel tube- have you seen steel prices lately ? Add the cost of all of the other. 0 for four (they were only small ones too).
