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..
