IM BACK!!!!!!
Hey Guys Im back!
after 2 months without internet i have finally got it working again!!! bloody stupid bt screwed me over with the FREE UPGRADE to the faster 8mb
service that you only get a 4mb service with! then they said that my line wasn't compatible when they sent me e-mails saying that it was! and
the phone calls to india, just dont gte me started!
on my return i bring great news, you proberbly wont remember but i lost my internet connection about a week before my sva test! for all of you that
dont know, I PASSED !!! with a few minor alterations at the test centre (credit to the chap at the birmingham test station), i have had my DAX Rush on
the road for about two months now, and i have got to say i think that its absolutely AMAZING!!!
i have added a few photos of it at the test station but it has under gone a few modifications since then, i will have to get some more recent photos
when the weather is a bit better.
i should be attending the south birmingham meet on monday the 1st of october so i hope to see some of you there in the DAX if your attending.
hope your all doing ok?
Alex

the south birmingham meet is in Broom just south of Alcester, near Bidford - Upon - Avon. probably about 20 - 30 minutes from solihull if you take the
m42 and then A435.
Mods -
1) i have new Carbon Fibre front wheel arches! (the old one got wripped off at 90mph  )
2)Carbon fibre rear diffuser!
a few others in the pipe line, carbon fibre aero-screen, changing the front lights, new bonnet latches (got to get rid of those sva proof ones -
urgh!) need a boot cover as well. yu know a few bits and pieces
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Spooky, that's the exact same bay where I had my SVA, and I've got almost identical photos!
Well done on the pass, better get out there and make the most of it before the weather gets too crap

Good effort Alex, good to hear you got it all sorted and on the road! How many miles you put on her so far?
