and are you pleased with it


Bob C - 18/12/06 at 01:56 PM

Oh yeah - Now I've driven it 100yds...... it will take a bit of getting used to (about 50% average on starting without stalling) plus if you press the accelerator at 2500revs+ it just lights up both back wheels!! maybe some sticky tyres might be a good investment!
I now have to reverse a select few of the crazier SVA mods ;^) and sort myself out with a windscreen. Maybe I'll get my reverse to work as well. And register & insure etc.

Well done Bob, Its a big relief that little bit of paper, Dont forget to photocopy it because you wont see the original after the DVLA nick it off you.

Hmm that's why I went for the v6 rather than a bike engine, easier to control in traffic.

Bob
now 9 pm & I've driven it round to a mate's house. Bit overdamped & still got 1/4 turn SVA toe out but blimey - it's wick! I was wearing shades in the dark to kep the cold air out of my eyes - passers by must have thought I was mental. I somehow don't think I'll drive it much before summer.....

Cheers Simon - I suspect they may not stay on forever.... I could have got slicks but they were a tenner each!!!! - the rain tyres were a tenner for 4. So - the car on your avatar - that bonnet bump - where's that from?
