Talking Got through engineering

Boy am I happy. I got through engineering on Sunday. If you had seen the car on Saturday morning you wouldn't have thought I would stand a chance. But put enough hours in and with thanks to Ian at CR and my son I was ready for engineering Saunday at 4am.

I was worried about the brakes not being bedded in so used the noise test stage to give them a work out. Must have worked as the engineer said they were about the best he had ever tested.

I see why the testing is done on weekend . 110 in an industrial estate is a bit wild.

Got the balance right (fluked) as the car pulled up without locking front or rears.

Passed the noise test. Thats tough. 90 dB max measured at 500mm from exhaust.

Tomorrow weighbridge time. Vin by Thursday. Blue slip Friday(more late nights) and registered on Saturday.

This was also the first time I have driven a Cobra. Wow. Cant wait for the full experience.

Regards,

Phil
