Thumbs down Oops!

I took the scenic route to the test station, stopping to put £10 worth of juice in on the way. Felt amazing to be out in it in the sun with the wind where my hair used to be, blatting down a country lane.

The tester was incredibly thorough, taking the best part of an hour even with me sitting in the cockpit for him. He was fairly young, so I think he was probably unfamiliar with the donor vehicle. No problem with that: a new pair of eyes is always welcome!

Anyway, he failed it on a few counts, with a few advisories chucked in, so I've some fettling to do between now and The Crimble.

I'll post updates when progress is made. The welding is the only real bugbear, as I think I may have to plate it from the inside, which will require a bit of dismantling.

It's no fun if it's easy

Regards, Mick
