Default First semi-proper drive!

I finished some fettling of the rear clamshell this evening, and as there was some daylight left I bothered to bolt a seat in for the first time since my engine has run....

... and went for a few 1st and 2nd gear blasts up my driveway.

Very rewarding to finally drive the car, almost properly.

John

looks fine, and as said, the sound is great, the first drive spurns you on.

Best of luck

Steve
