First Drive!!!!!
Yesterday i connected up the hand brake cable and took my kit car for its first drive. Im building the car at my parents garage and their road is a
cul-de-sac, so its nice and quite - and in a nice area of town, so no drive by police!
anyway, i took the car for its first drive and up and down the road - slow at first to make sure nothing broke, and im glad to say, that it was all
good.
after that i gave it a bit of a spanking, spinnig the wheels up as easy as immigrant entering britain.
wow she is fast and feels solid - other than the escort clock pod im using at the moment sliding around - no rattles or bangs!!!
cant wait to get further on now - need to organise a dash board....
i took a vid, but not gotten around to upload it yet...
and i was pleased with the bigger brakes on the front too. the 300mm discs really scrub off the speed without instant lockup - infact having driven
the same kitcar ( my friends ) with 260mm and mine with 300, i much prefer mine. more control.

Well done young man, looks like you are sort of ahead of me by a little bit.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
