Another MAC#1 ZR Ready For The Road
ash_hammond - 3/10/07 at 10:40 PM

Hi All

Just a quick note to say that my MAC#1 ZR passed SVA today first time.

A few minor tweeks were needed - 2 cable to secure some wires and a quick twist on the steering rack to help self centering. All in all - it was all over and done and the certificate was in my hand within 2 hours.

It’s been a great journey building the car, lots of highs and smiles and thank fully not that many lows. Mark and Col at MAC#1 have been outstanding right from me ordering my chassis to the final moment’s right before SVA. The true “one-stop-kit-car-shop”. How they have put up with me and my blonde moments is beyond me.

I did have so many things that I wanted to say…. but now I have come to writing the post my fingers have gone dry. So I will now stop rambling and attach some pictures of the car at Nottingham SVA which will hopefully say more word than I can.

Onwards and upwards – DVLA man here I come.

Well done mate, I was the guy you met at the sva centre (watch those toes !)

It's nice to watch someone else being a bag of nerves - brought back memories (or nightmares ??).

Take your time and enjoy

PS.

Couldn't resize the pics could you - I've only got a 19" monitor !

Resixing will be good - ive tried to view on 42" and only get one wheel in

You been in my garage only jokeing yeah mate some fussy git asked for a new pair as they had a small mark or two on them. As for the worx RR well she,s a bit nippy i'll tell you, seen 69mph in 1st and 120 on my personal test track, proper quick but very torquey, it pulls 6th smoothly from 25 mph
