Rudy - 21/6/07 at 02:51 PM

Hi friend,
just to share my happyness, this morning I had first drive test on the road with my Avon . It was very nice and me and my wife are happy, everithing seems to work fine but my 1995 Scrorpio is more confortable
The only thing I will need to modify is windscreen : I have aly frame exatly at the same level of my eyes.
BTW very weel and all the people turn to look at my car
Next mounth number plates

Well done, Rudy!

I have noticed that the Avon screen does seem a little short top to bottom, so I'm not surprised you have a problem.

Another thing - are the rules different in Italy? In UK you have to get the number plates before you test drive on the roads... at least, we are supposed to!

I had drive test with a special number plates it is called "targa prova" with this you can drive also a non jet register cars, a friend give me it.
And I will not go Lido di Venezia but I will go to Lido di Jesolo

My friend took his seat cushion out and
modified it to lower him below the screen

It's like everything that you do for the first time, you'll never forget this.

To say the truth , to let my wife to drive the car too, I put a seat runners and this rises the seat by 30mm, however even without it I had problem with windscreen, so I will need to make a taller windscreen.

Hey Jp, yes you sey the truth about first time on everything

Good times.
How about a picture of the beast?

I can't see how the screen can possibly be to high for you?
Exterior near to finish
Exterior near to finish
I would have thought you would need a booster cushion

Serriously though - well done , wish mine was nearer completion

The little italian is standing with his hands in his pockets in a way like: "hey what could happen to me"

He is thinking he will need to make a connector to interface his "disney" computer to ours car to let the car go faster, you have to know he like "work" and "study" on the car with me.
BTW that photo make me laughing a lot too.
Will post some new photo early next week (I think now is much better than the ones in the photo archive)
