Default Photo

Here is a photo of the car after I got back. The car sailed through the test which was great. Slight problem with the handbrake which I adjusted whilst it was on the rollers and now it's fine.

The car felt really nice on the road and handled very nicely. Now to deal with Swansea. Hopefully have my registration before Xmas lol



And my 700th post! The car weighed in at 600kg exactly with a full tank of fuel so must be around 560 empty with is good for me.

Well done Dave, its a great feeling when it passes.
I expect you were grinning from ear to ear. I know I was.

Get those forms of to DVLA ASAP, and there might still be some good weather left when you get your reg number through.
