Remarkably the car went straight through at Glasgow and got the certificate. Only problem was a brake cable that snapped during the test but I had a spare in case. The tester was exceptionally fair and was obviously looking at overall safety and build quality rather than nit-picking.

He told me some horror stories and cars that were so bad he refused to test them. One last week had a wooden floor held on with gaffer tape and painted silver!

Off to the pub!

Cheers

Gary

Nice one Gary must be a great feeling, any problems with those rear seat belt mounts we talked/wrote about recently?

Cheers

Congrats!

Steve

well done congratulations!!

Congrats. Nice loking car mate!

Thanks folks

Richard - the tester was quite happy with the mounts. I had brought pics of the build which showed the bits below the frame. ie 12 inch solid rod tigged to a bracket on the frame cross member. Tube and fillet reinforcement at top of frame, tigged and plugged. Its probably the strongest part of the car!

Cheers

Gary

well done and nice looking car but you have neglected your lawn!

Well done! I was supposed to be there today as well but I had to put my test back a couple of weeks as I am still repairing stuff!

Caber

Well done, it's always good to see another Locost get through. That's a good looking car.

David

Well done! Good luck with the DVLA.

We've had some great blats out through the Borders in the past couple of years. I think the Etterick Valley is probably my favourite road up there.

Cheers

Mike

Well done Gary.

Enjoy it.

Rob

P.S. Whats the motor?

Just itching to get out now and see what it really feels like on the roads.
RobH - motor is a 2l pinto with stage 2 head and twin 40s, lightened flywheel and raised sump. I bought it complete from someone who had crashed a Tiger super 6.

Guinness - any time you are doing a Borders blast again let me know - you would be welcome to come to Peebles for a visit

cheers

Gary
