Title: MOT Time For Me and more stressed than ever.
Post by: car-nut on 21 July 2011, 20:39:15
My Omega is going in for its MOT on Saturday 23rd July, My friends and I have checked everything to the best of our ability and just a couple things are slightly worrying me for the MOT test, but fingers crossed I will be leaving the Garage with a New MOT. However I have got my other toy that I love as a back up motor if I need it. And that is my Ford Escort.

Theft proof my backside lol It is a pain in the backside. I have to lean through from the rear door to open it. I will be taking the handle off the rear and putting it on the front this weekend hopefully. But this Escort was given to me as a kind of family airloom as it has been in the family since it was 1 years old so I feel I should restore her to her former glory.

But nothing beats my Omega.

I am even washing my Omega a 0.40am so it is ready for the morning.

I have sold my caravan today which is now somewhere in Lancashire or on its way to Lancashire so whatever tantrum my Omega throws at me tomorrow MOT time as long as it doesn't go over £100 in parts I will be ok.

But I am the most annoying person in the last week leading up to my MOT lol.

Stress over, MOT passed with a few advisories, rear tyres worn on the inside, brake pipes slightly corroded, rear pads low, stone chip in windscreen outside of zone A.

Brake pads are being done ASAP.
