The donutmobile is on the road!!
Went to Wimbledon DVLA and managed to get them to issue my reg number and tax over the counter. I had to wait an hour so went and had a coffee but
i'm not complaining especially as they said on the phone it would be 7-8 days. Had to settle for a Q plate as i did not have a receipt for the
kit which i bought 2nd hand but i don't really care 
Got me plates, got me tax so in the garage i go then out for a burn! WOHOOOO

Get your arse down to the forest, i might even buy you a beer
Consider it a opportunity to run in your engine, then you'll be able to reminise when you change it or the car

P.s. well done for the test.

Well done m8 - great feeling isn't it!
The 200 mile shakedown is important - re-tighten everything. I'm speaking from experience
Everything that could come loose - is doing so!
Bulk buy of Threadlock!

If you believe you're not crazy, whilst everybody is telling you, you are - then they are definitely wrong!

Well done!
I dropped my V55/5 and 627 forms into Wimbledon DVLA tonight. I am hoping for an appointment around 3rd/4th August (going on holiday this week).
See you soon.

I have no air filter but i do have some metal gause over the carb to stop ferrets, deer and owls being sucked into the engine
I will take some photo's when i have my 9"x3" front number plate fitted. The one i ordered came today but they sent an orange one
instead of a white one..muppets! Photo's early next week.
