COREdevelopments - 22/7/08 at 06:58 PM

hey guys, really happy had my retest today. passed no problems at all!! the speedo was spot on finally got it sorted.
went on to dvla cardiff managed to nearly breakdown. car was spluterring and wouldnt rev! pulled in on j33 found out it was the toothed wheel which had come loose!! got it tightened back up while a couple of foreign on lookers were watching me and my mate. think they liked it.
finally got to dvla cardiff, waited bout half hour. spoke to a bloke there who asked me to fill in as much of the forms as i could. when i done this he then went on to get me registered, told him i was happy with a Q . he got it all done within 15 mins. so was extremely happy.
managed to get stuck in rush hour traffic on the way out of cardiff, but car did not over heat at all.
few glad thats over

thanks for all your help guys

Congratulations go out and enjoy, did someone mention Sun if so what country are they posting from, had mine taxed for 4 months average sun time 2 days per month enjoy it while u can in both sun and rain. If u werent scared of getting wet u wouldnt have built it. Seven drivers should be hardcore

update. took the beast to work today, well what a drive, i never knew the roads were so bumpy, think the shocks are set too hard or maybe it is because its a live axle. really need to get it setup suspension and carb wise, seems really twitchy on the road, but it has got a quick rack and 280mm steering wheel.
it really is an awesome feeling driving it though, cant wait to take it out on a track.
one day soon i hope.

cheers
