first drive of my Indy
Well,
It works I know cos' I drove it
Click here for a video
As the video shows, we had a slight hiccup on the first run, with a loose clutch cable. Once that was sorted I gave it half a dozen runs up and down
the lane, getting a bit quicker each time.
Nothing fell off and it sounded good too. Brakes are pretty sketchy, but then everything is new, so it needs to bed in a bit.
It's given me a massive boost to get it finished, now It's a real working car
Woooohooooo!
Nick

Well done that man.
Good video, like the quietness of the engine on your return trip

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Fantastic, very well done, and what a lovely lane for test drives - iam well jealous on all counts. You spurred me on with that vid as well.
Doesnt look like much to do now to complete it - that is if you can stop driving it and stop grinning long enough!!
