First Drive Today

Not much to say really, apart from AWESOME! :-)

Car performed great - didn't miss a beat.  Steering wheel needs centering better and there is a slight sound from the back end which I am hoping is the new brake shoes wearing in. Close shave, literally, with a low lying cobble speed hump-ette.  Need to be more careful.

With an air temperature of about 11oC the engine coolant was running quite cool (high 60's).  This is without a thermostat in the circuit, of course.  I'm interested to see what it runs at when the air temperature is a bit warmer.

Clocked up 26 miles in all.  Looking forward to the next spell of good weather and then I'll be out again.

Registration Received

Yesterday afternoon I called the DVLA in Swansea to inquire about my registration application.  They told me the local DVLA office would call me back within two hours.  They did call back and they confirmed that the registration had been posted just 10 minutes before.  Great news.  Even better news, the tax disc and registration  paperwork arrived first thing this morning.  The registration number has been advised to the insurance company. Next its off to get some plates then it'll be time for the first drive.  This is what its all been building up to.  More later.
