Well, I always thought I would be able to resist...
I really did think that I would be able to resist the temptation of filming my first start but, after a very long time and a few set backs, it became
such a big issue that I gave in!
Please excuse the production (and the noise as it is just running on headers at the moment) and the smoke at the end is just from the heat wrap on the
headers.  <- what a saddo, but I am still grinning!

Thank you Whippy. I have to admit that I couldn't see what all the fuss was about with first starting the engine. Now I can!

Now I can!
and its amazing how many do so without waiting to fit any exhaust, just so they can hear how loud it could be if they could only get away with like
that on the road

Well, as mine has to be made I didn't want to wait any longer. I just needed to make sure it runs before I tidy up the wiring and fit the side
panels. The sound on the video doesn't really do it justice and I really wouldn't want to drive it on the road without the rest of the
system on even if I thought I could get away with it!
