Stuart_B - 15/1/09 at 04:11 PM

hi all, i passed my sva first time today, at edmonton test station.

I work up at 4.30 to hock up and load my uncle cab up of tools, i was outside with the car a 4.40, putting the tools in the back off my uncles cab, then pulled the trailer off with my little saxo, on to the road, and then attached it to my uncles cab, and put all the cars away, and set off.

got to edmonton test station at about 7.05am, so once we loacted the test center my dad and uncle undone the trailer straps while i went and got the bacon rolls and tea and coffe, and brought that back and eat tem then got the mk off the trailer, and drover around to lane number 2. and waited till they opened.

then the doors uponed and i got to see what was in the lanes.

then the test begain, and it did not start well as the sva man did not take the age of proof of engine age, but then we showed him the V5 and he accpeted it, so that was good. but the next question was can you take a wheel nut off, and i frogot to pick up the wheel nut as i has rusing to get away, but near the end of the test we had a go getting the locking wheel nuts off, and got it off, and he was happy with that.

I had to take off my exhaust and air filter surrounds as they were not radius enough, but he sad just take them off and it will be fine. so off they came and that was all fine.

so then he done all the rest off the test and it passsed first time.

so here are some more pics off the car whist it is being tested:
