SVA pass Cardiff

At last......bought a speedo healer and that was it. 3rd time lucky!

Went to Swansea to register, girl trying to help me said - "Ooh, i've never used one of these forms before!!" She put me on to the inspector who said i'd have to book an inspection.....promptly fled and went to Cardiff instead who had me registered inside 30 minutes!!! Got a Q plate though because i couldn't show receipts for my axle etc. etc.

Got home, fixed plates and now my battery is dead!!

Still, there now!!

Nice one Richard, see you at Donnington.

Hopefully, but I must admit it's a bit frantic on the motorway....

Not ready yet - but any hints gratefully received...

Well done!

nice one m8 , another car out and about in S Wales Lenny

Thanks lads!

Chris, the only advice I can think of is that if you don't want a q plate make sure you have receipts or the logbook for the donor parts!!! I tried to wing it by putting the reg no of a sierra i had previously owned and i thought had been scrapped...the dvla guy tried to do me a favour but it turned out it's still registered to a bloke in Barry...I was a bit red faced!!
He was very helpful though, it was really simple. Don't go to Swansea!!!

Have to have a get together...

Rich.

Well done Richard.
There was a time there where I thought mine might be finished before you got them SVA guys to ok it.

You realise that you have to take it to Donington, don't you? Absolutely no choice in the matter.

And yes, I think a local get together would be a great idea.

Ummm, missus has just pointed out that she is due at the same time as Donnington......
