Well today was a very special day . I got my V5 yesterday with my new registration number so I rushed out and bought my plates and today managed to dodge the showers and clock up a few miles .

I'll post some separate notes on the New Car registration process. I was holding back in case I ended up with a Q plate - but all the docs were in order.
Initial driving impressions - it's loud with plenty of creaks and squeaks, the steering is stiff (which I knew anyway) and I cant select 5th or 6th gear - so need to fiddle with the selector mechanism again. Also the water temperature seems to settle at just below 100 degrees - as does the oil temperature which is a bit worrying - so need to investigate further.(am wondering if I need to re-position the front number plate - although it is fitted with the standard LB bracket)
But hell it goes fast and on a wet road I can see I might frighten myself. It also attracts a lot of attention (again which I knew anyway)
So looking forward to some nice weather for a longer run.
