Congratulations - a great achievement


A1 - 16/12/08 at 03:00 PM

cheers!
the tester i had was excellent, he was really fair and let me fix a couple of wee things that needed adjusting. i think it really helps to drive over...

i was talking to him after, and the iva tests going to cost around 500 quid!

Well done, it's a great feeling driving home with the MAC Certificate.

vindicator - 16/12/08 at 04:32 PM

Another one on the road.....well done


Dangle_kt - 16/12/08 at 04:38 PM

I'm betting there will be quite some flurry of completed cars in the next few months.

I'm aiming for Feb finish, shake down drive/track day, SVA early march. Retest on any fails over the 6 months I have on SVA rules!

WELL DONE A1!!


stevec - 16/12/08 at 04:55 PM

Congrats and well done, in all the excitement don't forget to colour photocopy your SVA ticket cos when you register the car that will be the last you see of it

Rich


jambo - 16/12/08 at 05:40 PM

well done mate
nice car aswell
did they pass the steering wheel as it is in your photo of interior.


A1 - 16/12/08 at 05:44 PM

cheers everyone! just back from the dvla, the guy was really helpful and is going to get onto it tomorrow, so i may have my plates by next week!
good luck eddbaz!!

he said itll cost more because theyre trying to level the playing field cause they lose money on sva, cause its 190 quid for a morning, whereas a morning on a truck would get them 500 odd...something along those lines...


A1 - 16/12/08 at 06:00 PM

oh, and yes, the car was as it is in those photos, just with extended indicators.
i covered up all the nuts and everything, although he didnt seem to check for sharp edges.
one thing id say is stick her up reeally high, mine settled down about 25mm, on the drive over...


Daddylonglegs - 17/12/08 at 04:24 AM

Nice one, well done

One day, one day.............

Vindi_andy - 17/12/08 at 09:44 AM

Congratulations.

I guess Id better get a wiggle on and get done before IVA.

Trying to get done for end of Feb but im not sure ill get there.

Wife is determined that it will start this year. Even If we have to be in the garage all new years eve


A1 - 17/12/08 at 09:57 AM

i went to the edinburgh office near the gyle...i just got a phonecall this morning from the inspector saying hes coming this morning and that i could have my plates by the end of the week!


mcerd1 - 17/12/08 at 12:07 PM

even better

I hope they are still that helpful when its my turn

A1 - 17/12/08 at 05:30 PM

try and get a guy called (i think) gareth...it was something with a g at the start. hes the one whos done the course on it, take everything, as many reciepts as possible, the v55/4 form, insurance cover note and the built up inspection thing...ask for q plates, it makes it much easier, but i think if you have the v5 form it would be okay for age related plates.
