time to bite the bullet....
the MOT is tomorrow, and i needed to get the car out of the garage and give it a test drive
with quite a lot of trepidation i started the car in the garage, engaged drive and let my foot off the brake pedal , warmup idle revs instantly picked up the gearbox and i gently moved forward , this i had done before , but only a meter each way , lol
with the drive cleared of all other vehicles i slowly drove the car about 30mtrs down the drive and stopped , all good so far, engaged reverse and there was a gently lunge ( very gentle ) and tried going backwards, almost siletly she went backwards with very little effort
the time had come to prove her
so with phone in pocket i decided to take her onto the road for an up to speed test, pulling off the drive was really smooth , and the engine picked up very nicely , there were no nasty noises at all, in fact i was almost concerned about the lack of noise, lol
onto the bypass and up to speed, the gear changes were longer than i expected but the revs didn't concern me , something i might just have to get used to , though this is adjustable in a few ways,
and back to my drive , all in all a good test drive and i will be happy to take her for the MOT tomorrow
wish me luck
all being well, she will be at the next breakfast meetup at kemble

btw, the new exhaust sounds Bellissimo
