Default R1 powered roadster.. nearly there!!

Put some paint on the front guard to check the colour in the sunlight.. a good excuse to take it for a drive round the lawn.
In NZ we have a much less thorough inspection for certification. I should be taking mine in for the check in a couple of weeks.

Looking great there

Boy, I wish my front lawn was that big

Might be able to test the clutch on mine .... I do have a nice, Semi-private, Tarmac lane at the end of my drive ..... Just over a mile long & lots of bendy, twisty bits

wow, your car looks great, sounds nice too

as for your garden............around here that would be classified as a Municipal park for public use

nice build, look forward to seeing the car with bodywork on.

cheers
