Took my car for its first spin today, only to the top of my road and back twice, but it was great fun! Can't wipe the grin off my face.

Not sure how I'm going to avoid doing it again before SVA...

You cant.Its addictive.I've been out in mine quite a bit and still no SVA.

Dammit, I knew I'd be hooked once I did it once! I REALLY want to drive it again, but at the same time I REALLY don't want to lose my licence!

The most annoying thing is it's 99% finished but still waiting for an SVA date

Oh well, guess I'll have to just sit and dream...

If you are, take it for a few MOT's. Where I go he only charges for the pass so I slackened the handbrake off and I had to go back 3 times .

Haha I hadn't thought of trying that, very clever! unfortunately I'm not insured, I guess I couldn't make it much more illegal if i tried. Fun tho

Pete

Isnt there some sort of clause that you can take it for a pre-arranged appointment with a specialist to have pre-SVA work done?? Perhaps a friendly specialist could book you in for a £10 suspension tweak.
If you get caught dont quote me on this - id love to know what you can and cannot officially get away with though. All helps to shake down the car before test time.

Whatever thing you try you'll still need insurance.
