Did a few miles in it to the garage to fill up. It drives really, really nice! Lots of pull, and revs to 5k without blinking an eye - haven't really took it any further yet. Its making a weird noise that we thought may be a wheel bearing - nipped it up when we got home, but it hasn't changed it much. I think it must just be the solid mounts? Anyway, once we'd done that we ran it down to the garage and left it for the MOT tomorrow... fingers crossed!

Well, it passed! Need to do the front wheel bearings - it was them rumbling :D Luckily I have a good MOT man and he just gave me an advisory on them! Ordered them from minispares as everyone around here wants £40 a side for them! Thieving bar-stewards. Also cracked one of the front arches already because the shocks are set so soft :dontgetit: I'll raise the hilo and stiffen them up a bit, see what that does for it.
