The Meatwagon: Missing, presumed..?

[cwspellowe]

Good news everyone!



The tank passed its MOT today with just two advisories. One for not removing the child seat (wee man wanted to come see a proper workshop) and one for the sill being a bit bent where it landed on the jack last year after it fell off it. Result.

This now paves the way for another 12 months of general retardedness and fuckaboutery, and having FINALLY found the mystery clunk that's been plaguing me for months I feel a lot better about driving it anywhere. Always handy when you're reassured by an impartial mechanic that it won't in fact kill me any time soon.

FWIW.. he said the smoke stack would have still passed the MOT if i'd left it fitted, and the only thing it could cause controversy over would be safety grounds, but would be at a Police Officer's discretion, and something that could be argued. So that clears that up.

As it stood on the ramps, certainly made a hot topic of conversation with the other mechanics. He did have trouble getting the jack under the rear beam to inspect everything properly though



Now to buy tax tomorrow and we're go for FCS!

Speaking of which, for anyone that hasn't been on Facebook, i was invited into the Built Not Bought Themed Paddock at FCS this year, so I won't be on the stand with you all. I will however be parking the car in the paddock and heading to the OC stand to avoid any awkard conversations or head shaking Quite looking forward to it, now to find some green or black paint (whichever is closest to hand) to paint the door shuts.
