Default well finally drove it today!!! :o



finally got the first drive in my cossie after it being off the road for a little holiday

Not run in yet and no miles on anything - engine,clutch,gearbox diff etc!

Unfortunately the moment got to me and soon realised it was running over a bar boost LOL god I have missed that

Clutch is erm..... "digital"

After stalling twice trying to get onto a roundabout in traffic decided would not stall the next time Beautiful broady onto roundabout.....off of roundabout and over bridge LOL

Funny as it was the exact same manouver in same place as the last run before it was took off the road a few moons ago

got back to garage and owned upto my crimes - all unintentional! but mega mega fun

Happy bunny

Martin

Shut it mike - I'm sure it wasnt a dream as i spent today moving the car around to get the perfect light for all the under bonnet pics Even after spending ages at it still tons of the features are lost in the pics - I would say if you want to see it get yourself to the ring next year

Also couldnt find the emails I'll call him tomorrow

An island is what you see at a crossing with the square lights you kick over when drunk!

Get yourself over to germany for a weekend of car madness if your looking for a good break next year
