Almost ready for engineering on 21.1.2010

G'Day Baz,
Good to hear you have progress on the engineering side of things. I hope the drive / Brake tests go alright. The weather is a worry. Will the tests go on in the case of inclement weather ?

Mate, this is a worry. Oran Park closes for good on the 24th January and they won't test in the wet. That's why I'm hoping that the drought continues for a little while yet.

My trimmer is doing my soft top and tonneau in a silver/grey colour from Mercedes cloth. It is similar in colour to my stripes and looks great. I'll post some pics when it's finished.

Thanks to all you other guys for your interest and enthusiastic comments and good luck Dave with yout Engineering Test. N.T couldn't possibly be anything like NSW.

Looks good Baz,

Good luck with the testing, it must be good to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Did they end up making you do the 160kph or 100kph test in the end? Either way i doubt there will be any trouble passing. I assume the fact that you are going to Oran park it will be 160?

Not the case Liam.

My Engineer informed me this week that the NSW State Government has finally showed some common sense and reduced the Brake Test to 100kph.

I had made Representations to the Minister for Transport earlier this year on this aspect and it looks like they took notice of me for a change.

I'm not getting too excited though as things could change again before the
21st January.

This is good news, not only for me, but for all you other guys who are in the process of building your 'Dream Machine.'


Regards

Hopefully the christmas break will stop any new decisions.
