Yes as graeme says the chevette is now road legal and finished and to test it I decided the best way to test the finished product was to take it on a 1000 mile road trip to the best track in the world..... the nurburgring!!! So me and a few friends jumped on a ferry and headed over, had a great week with good beer, food and most of all amazing roads especially the track this was the 4th time I have been but it is still such a pleasure each time. So I drove the car hard tested the full capabilites and it didnt let me down once. So I was very happy all I need to do now is sort the set up out get the carbs and ignition tuned on the RR and have some fun. Here are a few pics of the trip and also a short video of me enjoying a tunnel.

Setting up camp, rear wheels were to make the journey a little more comfortable on my ears and wallet!!!
