First drive
Tonight I took my car for its first drive. This is the first time the car has moved under its own power and it was great fun. I probably should have put some air in the tyres first. Now i just need to fix my brakes!!

Thanks Skov and Stot...
I just need to sort out my brakes, weld my roll bar stays and a few other fiddly electric bits and can then (budget depending) order my bodykit!!

Well done David....
The extra low profile tyres may cause a problem at IVA....  Looking forward to my first drive also......
