What if the "baddies" google the reg of the bentley , find this thread, work out who you are  :o
they will read your other posts, find you own an omega  ::)

best drop the Omega round to me to look after Lizzie  ;)

 ;D ;D ;D ;D  No chance Dave! ;D ;D :-* ;)

Don't worry either, no serious drug dealer would drive around in an un-MOT'd Bentley and not pay to have it made legal for the road ;)
Most of the numpties who transport class A for a living drive a wreck which is ripe for a tug, speed everywhere or don't wear a seatbelt. I would drive a euro shitbox hybrid or the like and obey the rules of the road. Least you can do when you have folk relying on you delivering efficiently and on time.
Or something anonymous like an Astra estate  :D


Don't you believe it I've seen enough drug dealers photographs on their prison cell walls, theyv live on a rough council estate with a Ferrari parked outside & wonder how they got caught idiots the majority of them.
I meant Stemo ::)

I just wonder what happens at the MOT; are plates swapped over to the legal versions or does the MOT tester turn a blind eye?
Postal MOTs not common round your way?

Stop playing the innocent ;D

A postal MOT is usually much cheaper, so is far more rife in populations in less affluent areas.  And thats before you consider any repairs.  Its the modern day equivalent of driving without an MOT, which is more difficult with the change from having traffic plod in cars towards mobile cash machines.

Postal MOTs are much harder now that the test is 'recorded' in real time.


A guaranteed pass is the modern equivalent :y    No, that  :y  should be a :-X

That’s how I understand it, the “dodgy” MOT is produced by a quick bung of cash, a wink and a look the other way by the tester whilst apparently doing his job.

Although my MOT,s have always been above board, how my 1960 A40 ever passed it’s MOT twice in 1970 then71 I will never know as the tester used his hammer to test the chassis but somehow never saw the rampant rust! :o :o

A MOT tester down here was done recently for multiple accounts of giving out passes that should have been fails. They are still tracking down the vehicles involved.  :y
