First Drive - just couldn't wait, numpty
 
Not having had much progress on the build recently I gave in to madness yesterday and took it a run down the lane, it's nearly a 1/2 mile round trip. Now I really wouldn't recommend this as it has no bodywork, radiator, exhaust or shocks and only a handbrake!! :eek: Engine and wheels really. Scared myself sh*tless, even had it sideways in second. It's surprising the fact that although you know you have no brakes that you stamp on the pedal !! Man it was exciting :D but as the saying goes "Don't try this at home"!!!

Nice one J,

Another bloke after mine own heart, i took mine for a spin round the block once mine was rolling - a bit after your stage though. Came across a cop car coming across end of street (never see one when you want to), soon pegged it back to garage and door down. Cop car then went past my house 3 to 4 times looking for the orange thing that flashed past him......:p
