My wife said I needed a hobby.....so imagine my surprise when I showed her a picture of a kit car, and said "Let me build this.."......and she said "I think that's a great idea!" So this blog is a chronicle of my efforts to piece together a Birkin S3 Clubman, and a tribute to my wife's patience and understanding.

One Prepared Earlier .....
As promised, I asked my mate Steve if I could put a photo of his Clubman up here to show what the finished product looks like. This is "Little Red". She is a 2005 Birkin S3, one of the first (if not the first) IRS model in Australia. She runs a stock 2 litre Ford Zetec and a Ford Type 9 gearbox. Most importantly, she goes like stink and sounds incredible, especially on overrun in 3rd gear where she crackles and pops like all good sports cars should. This is what I am striving for with my build, and we aren't to far from running together in the National Park on those early morning runs!
