I'm a happy bunny - just driven the car out of the garage for the first time ever and spent a good hour whizzing up and down the alley - even the wife had a go!

Cool Great news
Fantastic news David

I can well imagine how happy you & Holly were to drive the Roadster for the first time

Build is looking good, have you managed to get the carbs set up now ?

One thing for sure, it'll spur you on to get the build completed.

Well done
