Hi,

Nearly done now by the look of it?

Will you be competing in it?

Cheers 

[Cossiedave]

I hope to have a go, as I've not competed ever may need some lessons and advice is there anywhere to practice or is it a case of get a licence and get out there and have a go

The only way to practice is to know someone with a large open space and some cones (or similar).  In reality, just get out there!

 

Why two seats? And such big ones - they will restrict your movements and view.

Hi,

They used to autotest in the center of brum many years ago when the under pass was still there, on a car park by it.

Have a look at the MSA (RAC) there should be details about license and local club/events...

Cheers

The two seats are because I want to make it road going,as to them being large it because they're all plastic so water proof ( no foam or material), and I agree they may restrict the view so I'll have to make an informed decision if I get into it a little bit more,their easy enough to swap out, finding smaller ones which are weather proof at a reasonable cost is the Tricky part

Best advice, join a local motor club. They’ll have events on and access to other clubs running events too. Start at club level as the tests are easier to remember and work your way up as the tests get harder the closer you get to national level.

Looks like you’ve got the right car for the job but will take time to learn how to drive it effectively. Can also take time to train your mind as remembering the manovers for up to 4 or so complex tests!

All good. Advice thanks

Fair enough - although I would hate to drive my autotester on the road.

Most people run Cobra classics and throw a waterproof cover over them. Tillet do some nice seats though - I think the W1i would be a good option (but probably pricey).
