The first time that the speed controller has been run under load, quite underwelming
to watch but very significant in the development of the car. Paul is facing
backwards to keep an eye on the voltage and current usage, he is also controlling
the F/R and throttle pot, quite a weird feeling for the driver!

Thanks to our local Horse Stud for allowing us to use their private drive,
this was a life saver as we could run the car at proper speeds and still
be legal. 40mph was reached and it's worth noting that this was under battery
power only, the GT has still yet to be wired in.
