The Road Test
Inital test run
I have successfully pulled out of the garage and onto the country road for a quick test run.
Luckily I live in a countryside where there are no traffic around so the test run was easy.
The first test run was done without any instrumetaiton I do not know how fast I was going so I took it easy I think I was doing about 30mph then suddenly I heard quite loud thump thump thump thump ...
I jumped out of the truck and checked what the heck was wrong with it...
I could not see that there was anything that would make such loud noise...!!!
I was gobsmacked and looked around everywhere!!! On a stretch of country road...No bonnet, no wheel arches. I wonder whant the passerby was thinking when they saw me with the heap of crap...
"I wonder if he is looking for the missing bonnet..."
Maybe?
Any way, it just turns out that the plastic lining hehind the wheel arch was catching the wind and hitting agains the front wheels...
There are some legal requirements you have to fulfill before you can take it out on the road...
2 - Road Tax
3 - Certificaition of road worthyness
