first drive
had a sneaky little nip round the block as i haven't driven it yet.
getting in and out of the garage was a nightmare (live on a hill and ramp not made up to garage since it was built so planks of wood, bricks and a
jack were required) however once out she drove (400m - metres!) faultlessly and i didn't stall once (3 road juncitons) which was great seeing as
its a small twin plate race clutch  A bit of wheel spin so some more clutch practise required but this thing wot i built works

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Conjures visions of you running down the drive holding a handbrake and making handbrake turn, tyre squealing noises.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
