Oh My God. First Drive!

Just took the car up the road for the first time, and this is what ive been waiting for for 3 years.

I am buzzing, what a fantastic feeling. Now i know why i wanted to build a BEC.

Just had to share it with you all.

Know exactly where you're coming from and the best bit is the grin factor just never goes away - I still get as much of a buzz now as I did 6 years ago when I built my first one

It's a great feeling isn't it. When I drove mine up the road last year it fish-tailed all the way back. I was shaking after!
