As my registraction finally came through last week, plates fitted on Sunday and the storm cleared enough for a couple of hours of clear sunny driving.

Mrs M and I donned out helmets and braved the elements. Took it easy but got a good 50 mile shakedown under our belts. Car felt great, very planted despite the wet roads and a surprisingly smooth ride. Had the wideband lambda running and could see that she needed a bit more fuel in the mid-range.

All in all a perfect shakedown, I'm a happy bunny

Well done

Nice one, you can both enjoy it.. wor lass wouldn't get in mine for a million quid!

The only place mine would sit was in the drivers seat.

Thanks everyone. Mrs M is on the insurance and I did offer her the wheel but she declined until the weather improved

And now the second drive......

Mrs M suggested we go out for a drive before Christmas dinner. Lovely empty roads up into the valleys. Got a little nervous when we started to see snow at the top of the bwlch but the roads were okay and I took it easy. Back in the lowlands and gave the the car a few beans on the straights, tweaked the carbs last night and mid-range was a lot better, think i need to go slightly larger on the mains but all in the tweaking.

So that's 100 miles on the car, one tank of fuel gone and a lot of smiles.

Merry Christmas everyone
