The Kit Cat is born...
I collected the kit this saturday (Mark, Chris, thanks again) and on my way home I was checked by HMS Customs (in Folkestone, since the car will be
built in Poland). When they asked me what I have on the trailor I said (I was in a rush, it was freezing, my English is not that good plus I was of
course a little bit anxious that they'll stop me) that I have part for my kit cat. The officers had a nice round of laugh of me but this
released the pressure a little. And currently I'm stuck with the name (at least until I invent something better, although I'm not sure if
cars, like boats, should be renamed).

I will find out this week, whether I have a job in Cyprus, which will involve me moving over there permanently..
Problem is, Cyprus dont authorise Kit Cars, so I will need to build my car, ship it to another european country for SVA (probably UK) register it, and
own it for 6 months before I can register it in Cyprus...
I just know thats gonna be loads of fun with Customs..
LOL
Have fun with your build
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!

I guess kit cars are usually built in peoples spare time so you will be able to "have a break, have a Kit Cat".
Sorry couldnt resist!
