well done guss i recall you saying you would like it done for exeter at last years show. well you did it.
take it easy they have next to zero rear traction when the roads are damp. yes i know every one says it but i really do mean it these things are bloody fast and bite hard if your not gentle with the throttle in the damp/wet. onwards with the celebration.

Just been out round the block with gus. What a rush. Acceleration is rapid to say the least. Makes me want to get mine finished. Just need to rob a bank and get more hours in the day lol.
Well done mate. Looking forward to the lifts to work. Only when it's not raining mind.

Thanks for all the comments guys. When I got back from Dave Dew's last night I was on such a high (natural) I couldn't sleep. The thing steers like it's on rails.
Original failure points were as follows. 1. Excessive handbrake travel. Examiner has to apply a load similar to 40kg, ie wrench handbrake as hard as possible. Cable clamps slipped on the cable as I had not removed the plastic covering. doh. 2. Foglight was only 'E' marked. No B or F markings. 3. Speedo readings were out, ie cable snapped on way to test. Bo**ocks. At least it failed on something else as this would have been really annoying. So all in all a good fail but a shame it cost another £90. Well worth it now I have driven it on the open road. Looking forward to seeing some of you in a few weeks time. Cheers Gus
