As my wife and most of my friends will tell you, I have had been quite stressed about the SVA test and ideally would have liked to take a little more time on the build, but with the advent of the dreaded IVA replacement test soon upon us, I had to make some spare time and have a big push on getting the Rocket kit finished, anyway the 9th February was soon upon me and off I went to the Shrewsbury VOSA branch for the test.

Failed on the first attempt, but I'm not worried anymore.

We all dred the examiner, but after 10 minutes I soon realised that my examiner (Mark) was actually human and had a sense of humor and everything. He didn't wear a set of white overalls, If something was wrong or misplaced I would get a fail, but he would also offer solutions to the problem and where possible would allow me to try to remedy the issue.

At the end of the 4 hour examination I was given a list of minor failures, none of them serious and probably could all be amended within half a day in the workshop.

Just had my Re-Test and I have a pass! Jobs a Goodun.

I finally have my MAC, now of to the DVLA now to register the car - Whoopeee !
