Who Am I?

My name is Daniel Brookes, I live in the North East of England in a place called Ingelby Barwick with my wife Anna and our Border Collie pup Lucy.

I work in the IT industry, like most I like to find things to do outside of work that are completely different.  One passion I have is cars, I've always been interested in them and how they work but I have never had the time, money or determination to properly learn.  That’s where this project comes in.  It’s a tangible thing, where I can work with and understand physical things that are in front of me, more importantly its completely different.  So much has changed in the IT world and everything is "Virtual" - it’s nice to do some proper work.

My main aim is to learn as much as possible, have fun and end up with an amazing kit car at the end.  I have no particular time frame, it takes as long as it takes and the main barriers are money and my own time.

When I started my build our old Collie Jess was still with us, she enjoyed many a day sat sunning on the drive whilst I was working on the car in the garage.  She managed to get to the old age of 17 before unfortunately we had to get her put down, but she had a good life.  We still miss her greatly: 


Now I have a new sidekick called Lucy only she is much more interested in the build and stealing parts whilst I am not looking!   She's only a pup but is coming along well:
