lets hope so... its been a long time coming.
i will post up a full parts list on a spreadsheet when its done.
a guy in the MNR owners club drove his out of the IVA tests on friday and wrote it off 30 miles down the road on a dual carriage way. Lets hope i get home in one peice
just about cleared the final invoice anyway. went pretty much 20% over budget.
Im looking down the sofa for the last bit....

I thought the same thing - interesting.
Nearly there Lee! Will be amazing once she’s up and running. Which track are you testing on?
Probably take it to silverstone, so i can get some track time there before the Birkett 6 hr Endurance Relay in October

Try not to do that ! Slow start and work up to it I would suggest

Yes lee take it steady. I imagine it’s going to be quite a handful. Bit like jumping out of a sports car into an F1. Both quick but one significantly quicker! Plus a few shake down runs before you really open her up would probably be good for you and the car.

To be honest you might be better off taking it to a track to get used to it rather than driving it on the road. I can remember my first drive in a 125 gearbox outfit was terrifying but withing a couple of hours it felt normal

If you take a 125 shifter kart down the M3 Andy I'm not surprised it was terrifying!!

Looking good Lee, looking forward to the magazine articles, be interesting to see how they explain the lengthy delays.
