Most Auditors feel like that......
NASSTY,
Did you leave your funny bone at the logon stage 
As with most threads here they have a degree of humour, take it as such.
The Daytona is coming together, thanks. I hope it will look at least as good as Dru's......

Unfortunately, experience has taught me to take things you say with a grain of salt. 
This is Mike's thread, start a new thread if you want to continue this banter  |

Check who started the banter...
NASSTY,
I was originally enquiring about the completion of your Cobra (which was the origin of Mike's thread) as our ONLY discussion was that yours would be ready last Xmas. I have built a car before and I know the difficulty/frustration with things taking longer than normal. It was a genuine enquiry to see what stage you are at (not as you seem to imply, that it was for some other reason) the more Cobra's we see on the road the better.
I hope this is clear enough for you.

Yep, still on track. I got the RWC and the weigh bridge ticket on Friday. The engineers report is done and I'm picking it up this afternoon. All that's left to do is stamp the VIN number on the chassis and stick the tyre placard on. Ill do those 2 jobs tonight.
This time tomorrow Ill be registered!
Cheers

Cheers

So Mike, no news from you today... hopefully that means you've been out terrorising the neighbourhood and not inside on the computer! |

I don't think he'd be out driving Sambo..... he's probably stuck in the shed removing the "pusilanimous" exhaust, turning some coil-over collars anti-clockwise and generally "beautifying" his new car!!!

A bit dissapointed with Vic roads yesterday. I turned up with all my ICV paperwork and they said it takes too long and they don't have time so I have to schedule another appointment with another branch. Looks like I won't be driving till Monday now.

That sucks if you had made the appointment already and they knew what you where coming in for.

It was partly my own fault as I was a few minutes late. Road works on the way over and then I lined up at the wrong counter.
Cheers

Hi Mike,
Hope you have better luck next week. How did you put the vin number on your chassis?
Regards.

I bought a new set of number and letter punches. The requirement is for the characters to be at least 7mm tall. The punches I had were only 5mm so I bought some that are 8mm. I tried stamping the numbers directly into the chassis bit I couldn't make a decent impression as the steel of the rails is pretty hard.
I was in a hurry so I stamped them onto a piece of aluminium and then rivited that to the chassis but they said that was no good. I'm now working on stamping them into a strip of steel sheet and I'll weld that on to the chassis.
Cheers
