Viento 2nd time SVA pass at southampton
Had the retest this morning after failing on my first attempt in febuary. One by one the items on his list got ticked off then the final two which
were the ones that were most likely to fail: speedo was within 3mph of true speed all the way to 70 - chuffed about that, then the final test which
was emissions - idle mixture needed a little adjustment then it passed!
Really chuffed, drive home was brilliant despite getting pulled over.
Just got to get it registered now!

Well done, hope the Stalinist copper understood your reasons for driving with no plates.

Well done dan not long till you are on the road now
Reg process was easy for me at pompy, the only problem you may have is that the reg inspections are only done on wed and they are done at botley

Nice one - all that hard work no doubt seems more than worth it.
First time I've heard of anyone being pulled - trust you made the most of being totally legit?
Cheers, Pewe

Well done Dan.
Not long now.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

Enjoy.

Another Luego at Stoneleigh? Only the best cars get pulled on the way home from SVA.

Thanks for the kind words guys. The police lady that pulled me over was actually pretty cool about it, they obviously knew the system and I just
explained why I had no plates, and they acfepted my answer and didn't even ask for any paperwork.
I don't think I'll be able to make stoneleigh as I already have other plans but hope to attend some of the local meets and meet some of
the other guys around here.
Just polishing off a bottle of champagne with the gf now to celebrate!
