First Drive Out and About
Well finally the days the day, got out in the car. Put the plates on yesterday, but didn't get time for a drive.
Took it for a quick drive and realised the tyre pressures where all wrong and the toe was scrubbing the tyres making them screech on the hot tarmac
Adjusted it all and got back out. Wow amazing, hairs all messy now 
Took the brother in laws girlfriend out cos my wife and brother in law were being miserable, not wanting to go for a drive. She loved it, so just have
to persuade everyone else.
Everybody turned and looked, had a massive grin on my face.
Roll on next weekend.

Hi Ben
Good to hear your on the road at last.
We were out yesterday on one of our regular Hoons we met up at the services on the M20 then headed towaeds Canterbury through the lanes and ended up
in Whitstable for brekki, then made off again through the back roads back up to Maidstone where we dropped some tickets off to another fellow tiger
owner, then up to Brands wher we parted company and i went home. Covered 120 miles and the weather was great you cant beat it.
We all meet up at the Moat at Wrotham hill, the next meet is Next Friday 14th around 6 pm and Everyone is welcome.
Have you seen our Thread on here we are arranging a large gathering of Kits at THE BENTLY MUSEUM & WILDFOWL PARK ON THE 6TH SEPTEMBER.
