Last inspection for the road certification of the Roadster this afternoon. All good: it's a «Pass». The inspector, after the test drive, even told me «it's a good car, very pleasant to drive»! And if there are some swedes over here, they will understand even more the meaning of these words knowing that my inspector is Bosse Bildoktorn! Just a thing he asked me to think about and improve (but not enough for a "fail"), are the front wing stays, they are vibrating a bit too much, in spite of them being made of 5mm x 25mm steel strips. But I have the whole winter to think about that!
Well, anyway, it is not over yet, still have to pass the noise test, and MOT. But we're getting there!

The Roadster has been weighted at 680 KG, with a full fuel tank (34 liters) and no driver/passenger. I was expecting less, but I know I haven't really worked on the weight, running a 2,0i DOHC from a Sierra, steel frame seats, and so on... what is the average weight of a Haynes?
Anyway, it is a relief!
