Yay! It fooking passed it's MOT today! First time too with no advisories, first time on the road in at least 6 years!
Still lots to do to get it where I want it though, but today's a good start!

Well done Rob. I had a similar feeling putting mine on the road after a lengthy break. I love the whole homegrown look of this car and I mean that as a compliment. One hard looking car you have there.

I must crack on with the Baur and we can arrange a recently roadworthy meet!
Good work. If it goes as well as I imagine it will be cracking, Nas came to see me at the weekend and just the sound of his car driving off was enough to make me want to go and buy another car for an M50/2 transplant.

Lets just say traction is an issue... It's going to be a fantastic drifter. I'm now off to get it taxed!

Rob, did you get the sump done? , traction is pretty bad in the wet unless u drive it carefully, not too bad in the dry though.

Not yet, still at the engineers! It hasn't been so much of a problem, apart from proper country single track roads near the farm where I was ploughing the central dirt channel!

Sometimes it`s hard to find grip on 4th gear, M50 rulez on light E21 chassis
