Default 1st drive... Phew what a day...

Ok we can dream..


I was doing some general tidying up, just got shot of two MI16 engines and stuff, moving my v6 into the garage etc..

So we uncovered the chassis to have a looka at it



I had a drive, note I had had 3 hard days graft so looked a little worne out



And my m8 Rich had a drive... He's possibly not the best example of a roadster driver


TT

I was one of the founder members of that club ..... Here we are, almost 3 years later .... Still not driven the Roadster for real

Driven miles & miles in the workshop & garden .... Got the sound just right, heck I have even got a dump valve

Looking cool TT

Well the V6 engine is now in the garage, which is quite untidy having had to extract a load of bits to sell

But the intention is to get teh 2.9 runnig on the garage floor, for 2 reasons.

1) I need to get that engine tested and have a loom for it.
2) I need a test loom for the white car as it's starting to give me a sense of humor failuer as it will not even fire!!


That MK1 golf shell is in the way too.. Can't seem to give it away!!
