First Drive!

After a 2 week wait yesterday my v5 came through from the dvla and i couldn't get to halfords quick enough to get the plates made up after a bit of drilling and some double sided tape they were on and I was off down the road!

We even had time to pop down to blue lias pub to meet the Bear 7's at there monthly meet it was great to chat with everyone see you all again next month

Grinning like some cheshire cat and having a blast around the country lanes. I can't wait for the weekend for another blat!

nb Not long back from a wet afternoon drive and thoughts of taking it easy(breaking the engine in)are out of the window with the 160 every minute seems to be at max attack speed! just fantastic.

1, The Oxted Thundersport half hood is worth every penny, it fit's well and looks good and keeps the rain off well even in heavy rain. 

2, The knee guard in the passenger foot well rattles all the time and will be removed this morning.I was thinking of mounting a charger to it but I will now be thinking of a different location.

3, At the stoneleigh kit car show i bought a high level FIA led brake light from car builder solutions ,you do need the high level wiring loom from caterham parts which is on order ,now realising how low you really are compared to other cars(i.e. eyeline is bumper height to most cars!) I think anything that helps being seen is a good thing.

4, The gearing seems quirky at first.1st is very low and most of the time 3rd and 4th is the gear to be in with 5th almost like an overdrive. And changing down to second for say a corner you soon realise that 3rd is the gear to be in as changing down to 2nd just sends the revs soaring. Anyway just listening to the little turbo spin which ever gear puts a good smile on my face:-)
