First legal proper drive!
 
Well weather has been blue sky's most of the day and nice and warm so I got in from work and took the car out!

I ended up doing about 100 miles in total and although I enjoyed it, I really need the car setting up properly as it's a pig at present!

Acceleration can be described as very brisk even in 6th at low speed it pulls.

It's currently very easy to loose the rear end especially if you give it guns and the car is not pointing perfectly straight.

It's very loud even at 3k and hideously so after 5k but sounds awesome on full chat with some impressive bangs in between gears and throttle lift off!

Did a few launches and so far so good but it's early days!

Noice, first proper drive is the best :) Sportsters a bit of a handful if your too aggressive with the throttle round the bends too.
