oh yes... and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

i must say i was quite nervous taking it out for the first time, i was on private roads, with a 20mph speed limit and speed bumps there was still snow on the roads and alot of parked cars about, but after a bit of driving about i run it out of petrol lol.

after a quick top up i found a bit of straight road to test and make sure the pedel on the right worked.... it does and the thing goes like a stabbed rat!!!!!!!!

i came back with tears streeming down my face from the cold wind but a big grin on my face.

even my girlfriend (who isn't that fused about the car) was really keen to go out in it and loved it! she now likes the car alot more now she can drive it about.

even in its unfinished state (this was just a first test drive to make sure all was well) it got alot of attention with one guy stopping his car outside my house to ask questions about it.

all in all a dam good day

thanks goes to all who have helped me with my questions about the build with special thanks to Stuart at MEV and nigel and scott :-)

big push now to get it ready for IVA so i can get it to the shows later in the year!
