I built a car now with pictures
I can't believe it I'm totally over the moon I built a car I really really built a car and it passed sva first time.
All the way home I could see it in the rear view mirror MY CAR THAT I BUILT
Whooooo HOOOOOO
Thanks for everyone help and the stuff I've purchased from you all. Thanks for Doug at Aberdeen kind words on the build quality. And thanks to
CalvinX for his support and advice especially when I was getting pi**ed Of and really thought It was time to sell up.
Slater (keith call me later I might have stopped dancing and shouting by then MAYBE)
A couple of small point needed attention ( speedo calibration was out by 10mm on the tyre circumference and noise level average was JUST in there.
Woooooo Hooooooo
 
dawn breaks fingers crossed
 
brake test
 
safely home BIG SMILES

Congrats mate well done.

Hee Hee,
The heartiest of congratulations, Omega.
Excellent news!
Fantastic feeling ain't it!
I'm still buzzing from my pass yesterday and my face is actually aching from the permanent grin I've been wearing since.
Once again, very well done,
Andy.

Well done Gary ............... I'll now go and hang my head in shame as my build doesn't look much different to when you last saw it,
(before you even stared yours).
Enjoy yourself Mick
