Default First Drive!!!



So managed to score a break from work between christmas and new years and in between the christmas turkey and spending time with family and friends, I managed to get in some good cobra time ....

The result being that today I drove my car for the first time. Yay me



Was only three laps round the block but still it drove under it's own power. First impression is that it does not seem to be lacking for go! Stopping however was a bit more challenging - I am sure the brake balance needs some adjusting, as well as me getting used to the no assist. The steering also needs alignment, the suspension set, etc etc, but it was still awesome.



I manged to take the wife and kids on those three laps to help share in the excitement and to let them be a part of it all too. Oldest boy got first go as he helps in the garage the most, but the youngest enjoyed it too.



Overall I am very pleased.
