Yorkie - 3/9/11 at 08:45 PM

Finally, got my tax disc and registration documents through the post this morning.

Got the plates made and fitted and went out for the first proper drive.

What a great feeling!

Yea it's a nice feeling when all that hard work comes together
i found my self going out a lot for little runs to get used to the car when first on the road
never did i think i would end up going round the country visting many race tracks and doing 3000 miles per year +
and then this year the trip to the nurburgring

started out with hellfire, zetecamo, austin man and me
now its just me zetecamo and austin man with a couple of others joining us on occasions

Still got that big grin after another run out today. Taking it easy on local roads that I know well.
Need to sort out my wing stays, I think they are made from jelly!
