How I came to build my Puma Clubman.
I have always wanted a race car but needed to do it on a budget. So in 2000 I
bought a Formula Vee that was in pieces, incomplete and Instead I suggested I show him the car that I really wanted to own and I took him to meet John Karnon to see his Puma. I had met John about 3 years prior and loved his car but at the time felt that building one was beyond my abilities. However after rebuilding my Formula Vee I was more confident, also if Craig and I worked together work could pool our resources and abilities. The decision was made to go ahead on the 18th Feb 2003. Craig and I built our cars together, two cars at a time. They were built mechanically identical but with different finishing such as colour and wheels etc . Feb 18th 2003 we decided to go ahead. My car was registered Dec14th 2004 and Craig's was registered, due to work commitments, Jan 2005. We work together making and designing every part from the wishbones to the wiring. It was an enormous amount of work but worth every minute. One of the most rewarding days was the day my car was started for the first time. Click here to see and hear my engine (very large file) the first day it was started. I still find it hard to believe that I built my own car.
