Well, here we are. We have number plates now painted on and the tax disc stuck in place, so this afternoon, myself and Andy were out buzzing around Blean and Boughton-Under-Blean.

Andy now agrees with me that there is a bit of an un-nerving vibration from the engine as you hit the top of 3rd and bottom of 4th, which we will need to diagnose and sort, plus there is a bit of a list of stuiff to "de-snag" over the next few weeks.

The dynamo, for one, plus the "frotteurs" (friction dampers in the ends of each axle tube) are rather stiff, so will need to be taken out, slackened off a tad, and re-fitted. Some new rubber rings will also be needed in the driver seat upholstery, and there's a few spots of paintwork to touvch up.

But we're basically there.We can drive her about and admire her.
