1st TIME PASS AT GILLINGHAM..YIPEEEEE
GeoffB - 7/12/06 at 08:10 PM

If the heading did not give it away i passed the sva first time at gillingham today.YIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway now for the full saga..

after mucking about with the emissions late into the afternoon, i finally found and adjusted the mixture settings because i wasnt getting more than 5-6k revs..

got up this morning and went a mile to fill up with petrol..mixture setting was not good it coughed and spluttered and would not go above 20mph..not good in them torrential downpour that conincided with this..time i got to the petrol station the cat was cherry red and smoking like a bonfire..rolled upto the pump and filled the petrol station with foul smelling smoke
which put the shits right up all the staff..not good..
managed to get it home and got it loaded on the truck with plastic sheet covering the cockpit..which stayed on till the test centre by two bits of tape..Luck omen.?

No.. as we unloaded the car it had left a puddle of petrol on the back of the truck..and stiking like mad right outside the test centre reception..

Anyway as it all went very smoothely and i
got a pass...WHO CARES...

Moral: dont give up even when things are agaisnt you..you will get there..

This morning i was shitting breeze blocks..Tonight i could poo Gold Bars

Thanks to you all, there was no way i could have done it without you all and this site

Well done mate! Nice feeling, isn't it... I know, as I too passed first time at Gillingham in October last year. (Who was your tester, by the way? Mine was called Ian Bylett.)

Enjoy!
