At last, a Date!!!
Finally got a date for my test!
Took my money mid-May (see previous moan) and today the wife text me saying I had a letter from VOSA. I'm working in Delhi until tommorrow so I
said open it. She said it wa the CD being returned and the test centre would be in touch shortly. Shortly it was, 10 minutes later she had a phone
call offering a date!!! 
As I knew would happen because that's the way my luck runs, I am away working in Texas for 3 days, and the date I got offered? the 2nd day I am
in Texas! 
Anyhow, I am now going with 8am on 24th July so let's hope my luck changes for once, apparently the guy wants 6hours 
Fingers crossed I guess, and watch this space......

To prove that it is a self-build and thus elligible for the IVA M1 test.

Nice one there aren't many of us 442's on the road. We are indeed a very rare bread.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Certainly sounds like it......(I took my build 'log' - a photographic story of 'how it was made' !)
Edited to say - good luck, Daddylonglegs!

I printed off some of the most important photos & sent them in with my application but they never got as far as the IVA man, I also sent them in
to the local DVLA chap. He did have them when I went in to register it. I took my laptop to the IVA with me for the photos, He only wanted to see one
or two, one being the bare chassis as it was self built. The whole test took about 3 hours but it is a very uncomplicated tidy car working the
principle of don’t have anything sharp or pointy & if it ain’t needed don’t fit it. One last tip, If everything is that you can see even if you
have to strain to see it is well done he will be more likely to accept that the things you cant see are properly done. Hope to wish you luck nearer
the time but good luck anyway.

When I read the title I thought you'd been on match.com
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thanks Gary, let's hope I make it +442.... +1
@leewesty, I did the same as John, just put the lot on a CD, printed off some choice pics of the main stages of the build, and sent them with my
application. I also took some printed pics to the DVLA when I went for the inspection and VIN allocation, but they weren't really intrested to
be honest, but she kept them with the paperwork anyhow.
Probably need them for the registration I guess?
And thanks for the good wishes, more positive Karma please!
