Default on the road

Hi guys
I got the tax & registration number yesterday. The car was not inspected by DVLA and they would not let me use the donor registration for some reason but is still age related.
I have taken it out for it's maiden run and was absolutely delighted with the performance and reasonable ride.
I did not experience the bump steer & twitchyness the some of you have had.
The only slight problem was the front wheels rubbing on extreme bumps. This was quickly rectified by raising the ride height by about 10mm (the car had settled down a lot after it's first proper run) I am also running 17" TSW Catalunya rims an rather low profile Yokohamas.
I will do my best to post some pictures this week

Cheers
