Slow or not,
It is brilliant to be registered and on the road.

My mate sent me a pic of his last micro car as well,



Think I prefer mine  :-\

Great achievement Shaun. 
Good photo too, no need for a fast shutter speed!
So what is the top speed on the flat?

William's writer Richmal Crompton  (?sp) lived in a private estate in Hadlow, Kent which has a famous Tower, thought to be the world's first re-inforced concrete building.
My mum had painting lessons from the owner of the estate who once let me go half way up inside it when I was a boy.

And where, about 5 years ago, I bought up a large selection of Goggomobil parts plus a very ill T300 Saloon that is becoming a Dart. Also a Go Kart and a racing car. Very interesting buildings and a beautiful place.

Mum's teacher was Bernard Hailstone who did Royal portraits. Mum and Dad were allowed to go to the top and I bitterly resented that it was too dangerous for me. Just looked it up on Wiki, it is having a major restoration right now, completion September, yes Alan fascinating place, late Victorian Ornate Gothic.
Quite near Mereworth Castle which has a folly Arch and where I went to some classic car shows, once they had a huge Hispano-Suiza which was happily ticking over at 4 rpm, you could hear each explosion.
