First real drive...on the road!

Today the Birkin was booked in for it's blue slip safety inspection and a tune up. Its permitted to drive the car unregistered directly to and from the place of inspection....so drive it I did.


Unfortunately the guy who was to do the inspection was sick so I opted to bring the car home and postpone.


It worked out well as I found a few little problems on the drive.
  • Speedo is not working (Hall Effect sensor problem)
  • Leak in the lower front radiator pipe
  • Assorted rattles from the exhaust and the left headlight lense.
But it was still my first proper drive and it was fun none the less. The car feels good on the road and it really zips along in any gear. Over an hour later I am still grinning like an idiot ;)
