Thumbs up Big Grin Day!

Well for me anyway - had my IVA in Exeter today and ..............PASSED

Didn't think I'd get there in the lovely weather this morning, rain sheet got ripped off so the roadster got a bit wet (no drain holes yet!!). Thought I was towing a pond!! But managed to sponge it out, still bit damp though.

Adrian did my test (normally based in Taunton), very nice bloke. No major issues, although I thought I'd f**ked it with the emissions. Needed some tweaking but got there in the end (just). Might need some work in the future?

There were some small pick-ups but they were sorted on the spot.

Thought I'd pop into the DVLA while I was in the area to see if on the off chance they could sort me out.

No snags what so ever, 10 minute wait then left with tax and reg number. Just need to get some plates made up

Might go for a spin the weekend if the weather picks up.

Thanks to all that have answered my daft questions, helped me with the build and getting through the IVA pretty well un-scathed.

I'd buy you all a drink but my dads a Yorkshire man and I think its rubbed off(say no more).

Anyway just thought I'd let you know.
