Hey Al, I recon your buggy and Justin's must be due it's first MOT by now? I've still got a couple of years to go. I am in the process of building a 7 kit and reading the forums nearly every one I follow they all get a pre IVA MOT. WTF? My build only failed the IVA on 2 fairly minor points which were not MOT failures, technically saving £150 on test fees.
How many miles did you cover, did you chop it straight after IVA? I have forgotten all the build pain and IVA pain, just smiles per miles now ;D
Do agree with what Justin said recently about fair weather buggy driving. Went for a blast yesterday afternoon, although it was mild enough it was pretty windy but still great fun! ;D
I have found two lorry weigh bridges on my adventures, tempted to see what the buggy weighs now, at IVA it was 510Kg. At Norwich test centre it was an auto system so almost anyone could drive through and I doubt they would even notice as you get a read out on the display screen.
