Well done do you want to borrow a robin hood silencer? it won't pass IVA but may keep the locals happier!

Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

I still smile when I watch the first drive in my Locost, it's an amazing feeling.

Be proud, be very proud!

I've only done 6 inches backwards and forwards in mine - Good job my brakes work.

I have to knock a wall down to go further

Good effort, I should be in that position in a week or so, just need to sort gear linkage out and a few other bits. I'm bored of pushing it in and out of the garage now!

Got mine registered last Wednesday and had my first real drive on the road yesterday.

Managed 20 miles before frost bite set in! Really good fun, even though it took me 20 minutes to thaw out afterwards, think ill be leaving it in the garage until the weather warms up a bit.
