i tell you what, i had a huge smile when i first started it but to actually drive her is insane im floating at the minute and dont think ill be down soon,
only drove her up and down the access road at the unit and once round the car park, what an amazing feeling, everything is coming together now i seem to make so much progress everyday.

bring on the sva

Congratulations!

The sense of speed, and the cornering ability, is what strikes you first when you drive a 7-style car (even a 1300cc one - which you'll find pretty fast, believe me).

Just be careful...

Hi Chris....


Yea tell me about it....
I just got mine running properly..
Had a bit of a hard time when it was first finished.
coughing and spluttering all over the place..

Put the new carb on...WOW..
Was sent up the village to get some bread this afternoon.
Did a bit of a detour..... 30 miles to be exact.....
Still buzzing..
