Well done indeed, it is a good feeling to have that bit of paper.
Now copy it before it disappears in the depth of the DVLA never to return.
Now you have got to just wait that little bit longer before it gets driven on the road taxed.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

Thanks chaps..
For one, im not bothered about loosing the best part of a months tax, that will be well worth it after the first drive out with plates... and im
certain therell be a day with good weather before christmas...
As an aside, they seem to quote my car as having a weight of 820kg... that cant be right surely... ive got standard velocity chassis with locost
bodywork, lightweight triton seats, sierra running gear and a 4age with T50 box...... even if thats the weight plus driver thats a lot more than id
expect to see..

Yeah the tester said he hadnt seen any Luegos go through. he thought it was a spanish make. I was gutted.... (no disrespect to any spanish members of
the forum)
Again, thanks to all those who helped and especially bob and conrod for that original meet at tels cafe back in 2003 that got me going in the first
place!
Oh and through the 199 miles its now clocked up (long drives to IVA) ive driven it very easily (read gently) as the geometry is no where near set up
and even though it feels planted im not about to test it by any means.... One thing i cant wait for is snow and some very slow motion sideways
action... think it will help me learn the dynamics of the car at slow speeds, never driven a RWD in anger so need all the learnin' i cant
get.
