Good evening all.

Went very well and now have a shiny MAC to look at !! Bit of a challenge driving off at 06:30 in the dark and the mist in a brand new build car with no screen though ......

I discovered on the way there that the calculation that I had made for pulses on the speedo was clearly wrong, though I have been through them a couple of times now and they seem fine to me. It was a simple job to stop a few times on the way comparing indicated speed to Tom Tom speed and making the adjustments.

Doug the SVA man was very good and complementary about the car again which I guess is a good start. I only had to fettle two things on the test - a leaking brake T piece that needed nipping up and the exhaust clamps needed rotating a bit to avoid contact with the conical dalek that they use to test where the bottom of the car is.

Done in a little under two hours and able to enjoy a sunny drive back beaming like a cheshire cat. Mind you - discovered that leaves and grit sting at 70 mph !!

Cheers for all your help and support in getting me this far !

Well done Simon.

Need some pix up now!!

Well done Simon. It looks as though my u2u and your post crossed each other in the dark.

Enjoy your driving and take care. I and the rest of the Luego gang look forward to seeing you and your car at some shows next year.


Enjoy.

Nice one!

Nice one. See you and the car at a show next year perhaps?

Will be looking to take in all the shows I can next year.

Rusty Nuts, this bush/crush tube issue has clearly afflicted mine too - on today's drive the front seems to articulate nicely with very little stiction but the back end damn nearly smashed my kidneys a few times. Does anyone sell correctly sized replacements? I'm not really up for machining new tubes or shortening the bushes myself.

Cheers
Simon
