Possibly Omega's last MOT.
« on: 07 September 2017, 18:35:17 »
I view next Monday's MOT with some trepidation. You may have read my posts about a mysterious coolant leak, which despite UV tracer dye I have been unable to identify with any certainty and applying resin to the suspect areas, I am still losing coolant - which means I probably need a new radiator.
If the MOT man gives me bad news on Monday, then the expense of a radiator plus a few woes that I know about and any others that he could tell me about could easily write off my much-loved steed.
I'm not religious, but your prayers areked for Monday, please.....  :-*

I want her to live, dear Doctor, but it isn't entirely in my hands, sadly.  :(

It can be something of a conundrum especially if like me you're on a tight budget.If the Omega fails and it's going to cost more than you think worth spending on it then you can think I'll use the "repair" money plus whatever I can get for the m.o.t. failure and buy another car,but what are you likely to end up with for a slender budget?A different car which breaks and costs to fix?Or get lucky and drop on a good reliable car?Do you feel lucky?Or do you bite the bullet and spend the money on the Omega which is a known quantity to you?
All this is pure speculation of course as it'll pass no problem :y

Similar to the way I was thinking, Baza, but as you say, limited income/pension.
If I can't afford to repair the Omega then I can't afford another car.
I DO have a bus pass..... :(

Spend the repair money and scrap value on a push bike plus Lycra. :P :P :P

Rods2 now retreats to a safe distance. ;D ;D ;D

Bit of a distance for both of us to cycle, but do you want to meet up Voyager 2 or the more distant Voyager 1? :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D

Look on the bright side Ron if you do have to ride a bike to work, then you'll soon look as good in lycra as STEMO Guffer!  :y

Also please make sure your lycra is hi-viz!  :)

If I were ever froced to wear lycra, I would want it to be as LOW visibility as possible!
Oofers certainly know how to kick a bloke when he is down.  :( :( :(
