Must be a day for MOT passes - a pass on the Petrol Blue 3.2 Elite with clean bill of health and no advisories. In fact it created a lot of admiration from the other mechanics during its test..
Congratulations on the MOT pass

It's quite often a stranger says ...
"not seen one of them in a while" ""great car, I used to have one" etc

I hope they are not too disappointed when I don't praise their common as muck, so Shiny ,Eurh!tbox

If they're decent mechanics they'll know that they're exactly that.

One thing that is mandatory ,yet I doubt ever gets tested .....
"speedometer is working correctly and gives an accurate reading"
obviously speedos are NEVER tested on AUDIs, Golf GTIs (or golfs pretending to be GTI, with Ebay badges,) etc $:-\$

A few years back ... maybe 10/13 ..... I presented an Astra G for test with a none working speedo/odometer.
The car passed without comment! (eventually )

Going back quite a number of years now, the tester at the little village garage i used
always got me to stay in the car when he hoisted it up. He got me to press peddles and wriggle the steering wheel about a bit.

Doubt we allowed near the test bay now are we? $:-\$

I kind of hope your right, as I dread Starmer and co having a big majority when they win.

Not sure who to vote for come the election.

Starmer is terminally dull and uninspiring while our nipple high PM also leaves me cold.

Neither will get my vote.
I don't have any problem when choosing who to vote for, because my vote will make no difference in Barnsley

Same here in Bury St. Eds. You could put a blue rosette on a chimp and it would get a 20k majority.

There again the chimp would be a better bet bet than the vvankers we have in the HoC at the moment.

....
Changing the oil+filter is interesting, if car isn't high enough you can't drop undertray flap down enough, .....

you need a Pela oil-sucker-outerer

My oil-sucker-outerer can't be pushed down far enough to suck the oil from my classic and highly desirable Vauxhall. $:-\$

The tube is long enough but there is an obstruction of some kind.
Strange So how does the dip stick reach the oil if there's an obstruction ?? $:-\$

Exactly my thoughts.......The dipstick is extremely skinny for the last 5 or 6 inches and the tube simply can't be pushed in far enough. $:-\$

Just give a good hard shove, the desirable Signum will think it's having a colonoscopy.

Every time you post pictures of a car on your grounds, that garage looks nearer and nearer to collapse .

Nice motor, although I have to say neither the exterior not interior colour scheme do anything for me.

Will you be putting a few shekles their way? The buy in is surely pocket change to a man of means such as yourself...

That's where he houses the Filipino house boys.
