My car for the 1st time

Went oooh, maybe 10 yards or so. Straight out of my workshop and onto Ultima's trailer

It's gone back to the factory for SVA whilst I go on holiday and after all the work on it recently - I need it!!

Still, I hope it will be on-the-road shortly after I get back. Fingers crossed x

I think I'd have parked the trailer further away.

Like in the next town.

More people should document their build experience like you have, having lived through the process myself I know how exciting it is.

I have no-doubt that it will pass, and look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Good luck

Well done Chris on a job well done. This is the culmination of all your efforts. Shame it's not ready for the VW bash this weekend; but there will be many others..

Good luck with SVA, it's a bit like waiting for the MOT results. I take it you will be taking your laptop so you can update us of your holiday as well?

Hels is going to have to find something else for you to build now. Otherwise you'll be mooching about the house, and getting under her feet again

Well done mate. It looks good.
