After 18 months work and quite a lot of money my S2 Europa passed its inspection with flying colours and I got to drive it properly on a public road. I think the speedo is under reading by at least 20 kmh, either that or everyone on the road was driving very slowly!

Still running in so wasn't able to go mad but did attack a few corners. What a laugh! The looks you get from other road users is priceless. The Inspection tester kept saying 'Enorme' which is French for Enormous but meant like Wicked is in English or Sick. He barely got in and out but loved it.

While I was there I took the opportunity to adjust the headlights and when I got home I fitted the chrome rings and refitted the light covers and how much better it looks for it I think. It really looks finished.

Now to enjoy driving it...

Cheers

Stunning!  :beerchug:
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.
