Are you using Nottingham test centre?

I posted my application Thursday and got a call Friday from DVLA asking for the money! Hopefully be using Notts test centre, did they give you any idea how long you may have to wait? Im hoping to get mine before Christmas..


tcr - 10/11/12 at 05:38 PM

yeah Im using Notts, hopefully shouldn't be longer than 6 wks but they couldn't say exactly

Good luck with the tests chaps. Any pics for the collective or have they been up already?


tcr - 10/11/12 at 08:26 PM

heres a few from blyton ....i know not many ppl like the rear view but thats the person who's behind me's problem ha ha

TCR - Nice colour choice!!!!!

My pics, it's not quite done here, side repeaters have now moved, it's now got 2 mirrors and the windscreen lower seal needs making. I know there's lots of radius fails as it stands but I've got trim and covers for everything to be fitted the day before the test. Trust me, making a 1997 Robin Hood look like this is not easy

I'll post proper pics (not off the phone) when it's alll roadworthy etc etc
















In this pic you can just make out my glovebox on the left of the dash, inside is covered in alcantara like the dash, tunnel top and armrests and theres a stereo in it. That's what I was asking about hinging a few weeks back.

Thanks, it was a load of trouble to get it to this stage but I didn't want to quit on it. You'd know what they're like having owned one.

I'll prob flog it early next year and keep my other car (in the avatar), it's more like yours in that it's light, handles extremely well and has a litre bike engine up its arse

I just want to have completed it and maybe take it to Stoneleigh & Newark then I have to trim down the number of toys lol


Bizarro - 22/11/12 at 03:06 PM

Have either of you had a date for a test confirmed yet?

Thought I might of heard something by now, I tried speaking to VOSA but all they would tell me was 'my application is currently being processed'!


Stott - 22/11/12 at 05:54 PM

They rang me and took payment the next day, they gave me a z number.

Popped to see the inspector on Monday this week, he still hadn't had the forms sent. Gave him the z No to chase up and rang vosa who told me it was sent to the test station that day so I should hear this week.

Inspector reckons he could do it first week of dec but its not definite until he gets my papers from vosa.

I live 5 miles from the test centre and work a mile from it which is lucky I guess so I can pop on and bother him about it lol


Bizarro - 22/11/12 at 06:58 PM

That's good, I posted mine about 2 weeks ago so hopefully I may hear something back next week.


Stott - 23/11/12 at 10:01 AM

Thurs 6th Dec 8:30 am.

Good luck for Thursday.

Got my date through at the weekend, Monday 17th 8:30. Im happy with that, if it does fail on anything it gives me time over christmas holiday to sort out!


Stott - 4/12/12 at 07:18 AM

That's not bad really, depends very much on the test centre it seems.

My mate waited about 6 weeks for avonmouth in September.


I'll post up how I get on, I feel like I should be fussing over the car now but don't know what to do on it, as far as I can see its done.
