omega 24 v6 - 24/2/09 at 01:15 PM

I can't believe it I'm totally over the moon I built a car I really really built a car and it passed sva first time.
All the way home I could see it in the rear view mirror MY CAR THAT I BUILT

Whooooo HOOOOOO
Thanks for everyone help and the stuff I've purchased from you all. Thanks for Doug at Aberdeen kind words on the build quality. And thanks to CalvinX for his support and advice especially when I was getting pi**ed Of and really thought It was time to sell up.
Slater (keith call me later I might have stopped dancing and shouting by then MAYBE)
A couple of small point needed attention ( speedo calibration was out by 10mm on the tyre circumference and noise level average was JUST in there.

Woooooo Hooooooo

Now for the DVLA?

WELL DONE!

Nice to see a happy builder!

Promise you will let us know what its like to drive.

Lots of people passing the SVA but not many, first drive posts with pictures and videos etc.

I want to see GRINS and WHOOOP WHOOOOPPING as you fly through the countryside.

Really pleased for you.

Good job. And there are photos, I particularly liked the 'rear axle brake pipes' and the 'sva dody edges'!.................


andrew.carwithen - 24/2/09 at 05:29 PM

Hee Hee,
The heartiest of congratulations, Omega.
Excellent news!
Fantastic feeling ain't it!
I'm still buzzing from my pass yesterday and my face is actually aching from the permanent grin I've been wearing since.
Once again, very well done,

Andy.

Well done Gary ............... I'll now go and hang my head in shame as my build doesn't look much different to when you last saw it, (before you even stared yours).

Enjoy yourself Mick
