Nice
You going to drive or trailer it?!?!?


graememk - 3/4/07 at 09:54 AM

trailer, its 75 miles each way way to far for a first drive.


BenB - 3/4/07 at 09:58 AM

True!!!! That does seem a bit far to go in an untested car....

Is the test @ Nottingham?

yes nottingham, i think someone on here has a test in the morning of the 18th

good luck....another one on the road for the summer


BenB - 3/4/07 at 10:23 AM

A52 would actually be quite fun in places in a 7.... The "average-speed" jobbies in Notts town centre would be a pain but the bit going East has some nice twisty bits!!! I used to live in Nottingham but work during the week in Kings Lynn at the Queen Elizabeth... The A52 and Sleaford were well known to me!!! But probably best to wait until after the SVA before joining the bikers on a A52 blat!!!

Sit down with a cup of tea.

and write list split into 3.

Jobs essential ie

Engine running
Brakes that do somthing

Jobs would be good

Emissions
Calibrated speedo

Jobs that depending on the examiner

Sharp corners

Then if it does fail you are retuning with a hit list of final things sort. Not a waisted day as the engine wont run or it has no brakes ect ect.

Regards

Good Luck!!!!

Like Agriv8, I'd suggest making a list of all the jobs. And a list of the things you want to take with you... documentation, certificates, photos of seat belt mounts etc. etc. I forgot half the stuff I wanted to take!
Nerves and tiredness (you're bound to be up half the night the night before the test finishing off) will make you forget!

HTH,
James

EDIT: That reminds me.... I better hurry up with that letter!
