Phew, two MOTs out of the way in two days (Fri/Mon), both moderns so at least I can concentrate on the oldies again Smile

Going for an MOT reminds me of awaiting exam results - aarrgghhhh

When I take one of the bikes (old british) or cars (modern ****) for their test, I always think of "Moment of Terror" for some reason!

I know the feeling Rick. Next week the A55 should be going for its MOT after about two weeks of solid welding, fingers crossed.

As I had not quite finished the Morris 8 I decided to take it for an MOT to see what was needed to get it through. To my suprise it passed with an advisory, so no stress there.

Yes, something of an ordeal MOT time.

I've also had a 'run' on them recently.

100e sailed through a couple of weeks ago. "not much to test is there?" said the tester.
Impreza next. Makes a lovely noise inside the testing station and another pass.
Saxo on Monday. Tinker with the brakes and exhaust on Sunday paid off with another ticket.
Twingo today. Scraped the emissions with engine red hot beforehand and Just a brake flexi and a tyre needed. Good enough.
Still need some ARB bushes for the Pajero but next week is the deadline.

Not a bad score so far!
