Saying hello...
shaft - 23/1/11 at 12:38 PM

Hi to all,

Thought i'd pop up a short post to introduce myself on here.

I've just finished building my 1st ever kit car, a GBS Zero, and am
also a member on the RHOCaR forum.
I've been a viewer of this forum for quite a while now and have found
many an answer to build problems, laughed at many a joke and
found the help given very useful, so thought it about time i signed up
and joined in.

I'll post a pic of my car when i've figured out how to do it. So, as the title
says, Hi to all and i look forward to getting to know new peeps.

Nick.

Welcome!

There have been a few threads asking Q's about the Zero on here recently. Perhaps we will get some first hand answers rather than just speculation and observation now.

Pics as promised.





Twas the night before IVA, the kit waited patiently for the "Sphere of Doom"...


Here's a LINK to all my
build pics. Theres over 700 of them, so if anybody suffers from insomnia... fill yer boots.

Any help i can give with a Zero build, i'll gladly try my best.

thanks for the comments guys, mines a beginners kit compared to some of the stuff that gets created on here.
Do you all get together at local meets / shows etc??

Regards,
Nick.

I'm just off J25 of M1 with my RIOT, happy to meet up when the weathers better.

How did you get on with IVA/DVLA? I found Nottingham VOSA very helpful.

Very good at Watnall test station, as you say, they're really helpful.
Got there for an 8.30 test, all done and away for 10.30 with a first time pass so
i'd have to rank them 10 out of 10 if i'm honest.

Not registered it yet with the DVLA as the IVA was the 6th Dec and with xmas etc
funds where a tad stretched.
No rush as i'm not driving it until all the salts gone from the roads and the weather is
a bit better, especially as this is my first kit / build and i'll need to learn mine and the cars limits
first. Don't want a catastrophe as my initiation ceremony!

Cheers,

Nick.
