Some on the road pics.....

Me in the car park outside our house, on the bug after having driven 5 miles from it's garage. Boy was it cold! Battery meter showed capacity at 85%, which sounds way too good, but these are pretty new T-105s so hopefully this is a good sign for future longer drives.

This is a nice side view shot. You can see the new wheels. I've used trailer style wheels to comply with the MOT requirements... I don't think they look as good as the cool buggy wheels you can get in the states, but these are at least affordable and tyres are cheap.

A front view...

The rear section. I've made up a boot/trunk area with a hinged lid to cover over the bag tray. At the moment, I keep the onboard charger in here, together with some on the road spares in case anything goes wrong - always a good idea. I built the rear light clusters from various off the shelf kits. The number plate is lit by two LED bolts, and the charging socket is on the back. The bench seat has two seatbelts for carrying four people - although this slows it down a fair bit...









Final side on view...

Major good news....

Ok, so, sent in the vehicle for MOT this week, and it passed. Then took down the V55/5 form to the DVLA along with the MOT certificate, some ID, and insurance certificate and guess what?

A letter arrived this morning allocating a registration plate! Ok, so it's a Q-plate (meaning they couldn't determine age accurately), but that really doesn't matter.... in short the bug is on the road!

Will post more pics and on the road shots when I get the chance to drive it!
