Woo Hoo I Passed
Passed first time and i was in and out in just under 2 hours.
The guy at Edmonton was the nuts, had a quick look over the car, and didn’t even check any edges, bottom of dash, bolt grades. He said the car look
well prepaired so this test should be easy - i had to sit down i was in shock
Said the brakes were great, and my self-centring was amazing for a 7-style car, and my weight was split 50/50. My speedo was just under all the way up
the scale.
A quick tweak of the emissions and i was passed, talk about crapping myself for the pass month getting it ready.
I cant recommend highly enough the Edmonton guy Geoff.
Now just to sort out the DLVA side of things.

Congratulations...I really dont think the test is as bad as some people would have you believe, mine certainly wasn't. I reckon if the tester
sees that you have made a real effort to follow the regulations and present a well built car they are on a positive from the offset.
Anyway, happy motoring.

I have always said that turning up with a car that looks good (and shows that you've really tried) is 75% of the battle.
Congratulations!

Well done that man.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Nice one!!!!
so where are the pics?!!!
in my experience the testers aren't orgres and they do want you to pass it is just that they have to work to a set of rules.

Congrats & well done! As Steve (Amalyos) said you must come along to one of the Essex meets soon - we need all the new faces we can get! I'm
away for a couple of weeks hols, but will try to get something organised for another meet on my return.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
