S.V.A. Tomorrow!
mackei23b - 17/6/08 at 06:31 PM

Well it is the night before the S.V.A. and the final checks are done.

In a moment of madness I’ve decided to drive the car to the test (53 miles) to arrive for 8am in Glasgow, so it’s an early start to avoid any traffic. Let’s face it if I wanted an easy life I wouldn’t have built a car!

I’ve checked the forecast and is says that I’ll get a dry run through, but may well be wet on the way back, I’ll settle for that, lets hope they are right.

Here is the last picture of the MK, ready to drive out in the morning, all fuelled up and ready to go, wish me luck!

Cheers

Ian
