First drive yesterday!
Drove it for the first time yesterday - about 6 inches or so back and fore in the garage
 Well guys I have spent my Christmas break doing the wiring - building a custom loom from scratch (with the exception of the engine harness which is all BMW straight out of the donor) Yesterday I got the engine fired up, and got checking that things were working - instruments, charging circuit etc and of course, the clutch. I only moved it a short distance, but it did move under it's own power for the very first time! Needless to say I'm happy as a pig in the proverbial. Gotta get it finished soon, I'm dying to get it out on track.

Well done,
I remember the first time I drove my sierra out of the garage after 2 years during it's 24V V6 4x4 Conversion. I am not sure if doing the same in the roadster will match that for me but we will see. Did the V8 sound nice  TT
