How good is that! Well done. Number one for 07. I think the word I am looking for is 'envious'. I want to hear about the first 'legal' drive up the highway and was it worth all that hard work.

Blue with white stripes never dies!

snkbte,

I was in Ian's ship prior to Christmas when your car was there. Really nice looking machine and I bet you are over the moon.

Congratulations.

Gonna have to paint mine green now to match the envy

Car looks great!
What is the actual colour blue called, that you used.
Did you use the painter that Ian uses?

Talking

I've spent nearly three years reading about others and how they felt as they approached registration, let me say the feeling does not disapoint.

Plums Ian has the side exhausts made and ready to be fitted the second the Blue slip comes. The underbody system Ian fitted for registration returned a 73db on the first pass

Phil, funny thing about those side indicators, just can't remember where I got the idea. Thanks mate

Mike Ian loved the sixth gear, said she sat at about 1000 rpm at 100km/h. real smooth.

And just for Flukeyluke's compassioned plea more photos.

Thankyou all for your wishes, its a great feeling.



Cheers SNKBTE

Glad to hear the gearbox worked out well. I'll be keen to hear your driving impressions. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

Cheers
