Anyone Near Penicuik, fancy giving my car a pre SVA check
Hi,
My SVA is on May 6th, I was wondering if there was anybody in the Penicuik/ Edinburgh area that fancied giving my car a look over for anything obvious
that it might fail on.
Cheers
Steve

I believe Baldrick may be handy for you. Could be wrong though.

Thanks, unfortunatly I just found this site the other week, Doh! . Great site would have been very handy during the build . ah well. Being
realistic it will probably fail first time, but hopefully on nothing too serious. The test is at Newcastle.
Hopefully I will see some of you at knockhill during the summer.
Cheers

Sorry I'm not anywhere near Penicuik, nor qualified / experienced enough to judge whether it'll pass an SVA,
However I am in Newcastle next Friday and have a yard full of odds and ends, just in case you need anything bringing over to Sandy Lane. Addition
pipe wrap, padding, cable ties etc.
What time is your test? Good luck!!!
Mike

What a load of good guys on here
mangogrooveworkshop, I'm about 3.5 miles from the slope, Hope your crash wasnt too bad and nobody was hurt.
Guinness Thanks for that, my test is at 8:00am until 12:00.
subk2002 I met somebody outside Halfords with a bike engined MK, maybe that was Scotlad I dont know, this guy had passed at Newcastle. It was
himself who told me about this site.
SeaBass I was hoping to go to Bishopbriggs but the the earlist appointment was 20th May. Your cars looking good
Thanks for all the replies, If anyones looking for an excuse for a drive over the weekend (not sat)or one evening next week, feel free to come to mine
and share your wisdom
Cheers Steve

Yep, Zilspeeds correct - quite close. Unfortunately I'm up in Aberdeenshire this weekend but will try and get over next week - in the car if
poss. My SVA was in Bishopbriggs also. Fail first is a good idea - let's you know exactly what you have to concentrate on as you only have to
fix fail points.

You know what I meant!
Were you at Lothian bridge last night - I think I saw your & Lindsay's cars outside. Were you working on the car or driving it?

Hopefully nothing serious wrong with my build. If its adding a couple of cable ties and some rubber strip here and there I'll be well
happy
If you get a chance to bring your car across next week that would be good.
Cheers
