Today it happened......after just over 2 1/2 years of building this damn thing I got to drive it out of the driveway and down the road. No....I don't have rego yet (it's booked in next Monday for that).

I borrowed a set of trade plates to nut out the demons before I go to rego. I spent about 2 hours driving around my suburb ( didn't want to stray too far far in case I had to walk home ) and apart from a easy fix hiccup all went well. I'm driving it to work in the morning, on the trade plates, to get a wheel alignment then finish off a few more detail bits before I hit rego. So far....so good.

Geez it felt great to finally put it into 2nd gear...and third....and fourth....and nail it
