First drive test on the ROAD!

Hi friend,

The only thing I will need to modify is windscreen : I have aly frame exatly at the same level of my eyes.
BTW very weel and all the people turn to look at my car
Next mounth number plates

Well done, Rudy!

I have noticed that the Avon screen does seem a little short top to bottom, so I'm not surprised you have a problem.

Another thing - are the rules different in Italy? In UK you have to get the number plates before you test drive on the roads... at least, we are supposed to!

To say the truth , to let my wife to drive the car too, I put a seat runners and this rises the seat by 30mm, however even without it I had problem with windscreen, so I will need to make a taller windscreen.

Hey Jp, yes you sey the truth about first time on everything

I can't see how the screen can possibly be to high for you?
Exterior near to finish
Exterior near to finish

I would have thought you would need a booster cushion

Serriously though - well done , wish mine was nearer completion

He is thinking he will need to make a connector to interface his "disney" computer to ours car to let the car go faster, you have to know he like "work" and "study" on the car with me.
BTW that photo make me laughing a lot too.
Will post some new photo early next week (I think now is much better than the ones in the photo archive)
