First Drive
I hope this gives a few people some motivation. After 5 long years of building my car, it moved out of the garage under its own power.

That road is my drive, I think I was doing about 40mph but I didn't have my speedo connected as it wasnt reading correctly. I can't wait to get it finished now.

Cheers for the comments guys. I love the sound at the moment but will have to put the exhaust on at some point. The acceleration was a bit of a rush when I hit 3rd. It was a real thrill taking the car out for the first time. It's been out 3 times since.
I'm hoping to get it Iva'd in the spring but I want it 100% before then.
