Smile Well done Andy

Great news Andy, what a milestone to reach

That first drive is going to stay with you forever, Green with envy mate.

If I read your post correctly .... Did you say that the Roadster was so fast it made you leave your dongle behind Blimey, that is quick !!

Well done on reaching the last pre IVA hurdle

finally got the prop on then i felt exactly the same as you. my first little drive really spurred me on. the only thing with taking it for a quick spin is it gives you a new list of little things you need to do

well done its now a car

just got back from america after several weeks of driving lazy v8's i thought f' it. jumped in the roadster and took her out for a good run, even though it looked like it was about to piss it down. lets just say after a few weeks of not driving it i forgot how quick and nimble it was.
