First Drive

I'm a happy bunny - just driven the car out of the garage for the first time ever and spent a good hour whizzing up and down the alley - even the wife had a go!

As is compulsory - vidoes below

Well done, it's a great feeling isn't it, the first time you drive a car you've built yourself.

Congratulations.




Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Thanks everyone - was a fantastic feeling as it set off.

I'm very lucky that my wife is very supportive of my build. She's even been busy with a wire brush and the paint bursh at times helping me She even jumped out of the car yesterday and said - "can we trailer it to a track day"
