Default The Man from SVA he say

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Took it in today and passed. I looked at all the threads over time that other unfortunate folk had failed on, and tried to ensure I had them all covered.

Had a little play, not too much though, I left home in heavy rain, and it carried on for a large part of the journey. But what can I say, a 1600 K does go quite well, and has a nice tone to it.

Turned a few heads, and saw a few smiles, and looks on faces, of what that.

Managed to get the rag top off for the last 5 miles or so, it does do quite a good job.


Anyway, time for a litte break from the car now while I get registration.

Cool - another done! Good effort. Any pictures of the "finished" (I'm assuming you've a few post SVA "improvements" to make) article?

As your chassis was in the same batch as mine, and you got it a week before me, your SVA pass has reminded me that I really need to get a move on!!!!!

Steve,

Congratulations. Finally another Exi nearly on the road...and a 1600 K at that.

When you're registered and post SVA fettling done put some pics on the gallery. I'd love to see it.

Remind me.....body colour? Orange?
