MotaLeira Has a MAC!
Mitcham retest this morning at 9.00am, pass at 9.15am!
All projections passed, but the most nerve racking thing was the noise test.
The tester accepted my documents showing max power as 10200 rpm and tested at 7650 (not as 8850 on original sva).
With the extra in line box came back as 97dbA 
Now off to Wimbledon DVLA to start the paperwork/home visit rolling!

Well done!..
I am looking forward to seeing it.
Will it be at Newark?

Well done, Martin. Now you will have to bring it to a Newlands meeting so we can all drool over it.

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Thanks for all of the congratrulation messages!
Just got back from wimbledon dvla.
Lots of bad info to impart 
The dvla in it's wisdom have cut 11 inspection officers from the london area so now there is only one officer for North, South and Central
London. On average, home visits are 8 weeks from MAC presentation. 
Also the person incharge of amateur builds/kitcars is only allowed by the dvla to work 3 hours each day on these kinds of registrations.
The good news is that my car is booked in on the 27th of May for me to take it to them (£80 on a flatbed).
I've paid my roadtax (£125) and registration (£55) already so I will get my reg on the 27th.
They didn't bat an eyelid over my new reg request, so here's fingers crossed that I don't get the same hassle as Cloudy.
I will go to Newlands at the earliest opportunity (shiftwork & weather allowing) also Newark if the weather forcast is dry.
Bits will start loosening them selves this afternoon!

DO WHAT!!! 8 WEEKS!!! WTF??? Man this is gonna suck even more after I have been ripped off to the tune of £450 for the darn IVA
£80 for a flat bed? Is that for the Day? I paid £50 to have the Mini recovered from Carshalton. Do you want their number?

I'm alright with the recovery, thanks for the offer.
The other little gem explanation was that the reason why vro office phone numbers are no longer given out was because people were posting the phone
numbers on "kitcar forums" and they keep on ringing the phone off the wall!
I wonder which forum they were talking about?!
By the way, all grills have suffered catatrophic mounting failures and removed themselves from the car
I just need to change my belts over to the 6 point jobbies ( I found out that these were ok for sva after I fitted the 4 points ones). The 4 points
are already spoken for, before anyone asks!
