The little black bastard is now MOTd and taxed. It's been a (very) long haul, but good to be properly back on the road.
I say properly - there's a loud knocking from the front, roadspeed frequency (which I think may be a brake pad, but must check...), it's all incredibly stiff and tight, especially the gear change - apologies to the white van man who had to come to a halt behind me as I struggled to get 2nd gear on the way home from the test. The Powrlok diff is very new and very vicious, not allowing me to do a tight turn around the one-way in town until it put me sideways. None of this is helped by choosing to take it for a test on a day that's -3° to a test station that's only 100yds away, so nothing warms up. Including me.
Drinkies tonight!

Congratulations. Now the fettling starts.
You can come to Stanford Hall in it if the weather is dry.

Re: Road legal
I know it's arse about face but since you are experiencing that brand new showroom Cobra feeling, why not have the brochure to go with it.

Re: Road legal
No off-roading required this time Roger, the shoot is a short walk round to the back of the Hall.Roger King wrote:Only if I can drive along the same track as last time to go shooting

Re: Road legal
Well done Roger, the King Cobra lives!
I drove to my IVA in January, down the M6 at 6:00 am! Had to snap the icicles off my snooter! (That's brummy for nose before any lewd comments come)!
