That’s an MOT. Flew through with no issues just needed the headlights adjusting. Still quite a bit to finish but at least I am legal and its one less thing to worry about.
Managed about 150 Km yesterday and a couple of issues were found, the clutch was fine to start with but ended up dragging so that needs sorting and also a rear flexi brake hose needs moving. But other than that it drove great, obviously the wheels are pointing all over the place so a suspension check next week.
Met up with David on the way home and two cars are very similar in colour, David’s car is 80 earlier than mine.
Kind Regards

A real milestone - well done John. Get as many shakedown miles in as you can prior to CLM!

Feels great, car seems to be quite stiff but as I have no door seals in the rattling is the main noise. Not sure if it's the LSD or the geomatry but if you apply throttle mid corner it understeers quite badly. I am sure this will improve with a suspension set. Just getting a bit worried with the dead line looming. Only 1 1/2 weeks until I am back at work.hot66 wrote:

Good job as I still have no glass in the sides of the car. It did look very black at one point but thankfully stayed dry.Lightweight_911 wrote:Excellent news - looks like (somehow) you managed to get some good weather for the drive too !

Great to meet up for a drive last night - both got MOTs on same day too! Glad we had such a good evening as weather before and since has been rubbish - particularly without a lot of glass.
Here are a few more pics slightly different angles.
