SVA PASS
finlay - 22/8/08 at 11:35 AM

well i passed today

thank F@Łk, that is for sure a weight off the old sholders,

it was absoloutly pissing it down to and from the test, on the way back i lost it twice, just about ended up in a field and head on with a transit

then to top things off my driver side wing bracket snapped off at the weld and slid under the wheel causing it to lock, just aswell i was slowing down on a straight and lucky i was only a couple of miles from my house

anyway im well chuffed

thanks to everyone who has helped me out on here

and hope to be of help to some fellow builders

cheers

Finlay

Well done Finlay, just to concur with you, both my cycle wing brackets have broken but I fixed them and no real drama's.

Then Sunday say me loose the back end and end up in a hedge at the botom of a ditch

What tyres are you running??

Hopefully not > In Aberdeen the sva guys do the dvla inspection etc as long as you notify them in advance of your date.
Well done Finlay nice night for a drive now. Can you confirm my statement above ??


finlay - 22/8/08 at 03:32 PM

DVLA reckoned i would have it this afternoon or at the latest tuesday, so they must be pretty quick, the SVA guy told me that they were struggling for work up here
