Default Hhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuray

I Passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I caught it all on camera, it would of been suberb, after driving round the roundabout (I dont think they have these in Canada), when checking my rear view mirror there was a police car behind flashing his blue lights. I had to turn right and pull in then another police car then arrived and pulled in front of the carrier. It turns out sombody had called the police saying there was a armoured tank driving around the area, The two examiners explained the situation too them, so everything was ok, lots of pictures taken by the police on there mobiles by the four policemen and the examiners aswell.

One thing to note is I had two lee enfields, two bren guns and a sten on board and they didnt even bat an eyelid about that!!

the pressures off now and I am so happy, They even made me reverse round a corner which the DSA book says I dont have to do.

The trick is when taking the test in carrier is to put more mirrors on it than a mods scooter.

Will be on the piss tonight celebrating. HHHHUUUURRRRAAAHHHH!

Congrats Kev! I'm sure the novelty value would keep the police and examiners in a jolly frame of mind. I bet your missus will get pissed off though! when you get stopped by plod on the Tesco run!!! I couldn't find the second YouTube by the way. Ron

Kevin, Did the photos of the engine cover I posted help you out ? Your carrier looks awsome. What condition was it when you started on it ?

Cheers

Eric
