MOT day!!

Post by Beedub » Mon Jul 17, 2017 2:52 pm

tomorrow is the good old MOT day.... infact its been run out since may and i didn't notice until a friendly policeman reminded me the other day!! lol!!
Anyway she's booked in for tomorrow , and apart from the rain storm thats forecast at around the same time, I'm hoping all goes well!! :evil: :evil: My car seems to struggle on the emissions testing side of things and usually fails or barely scrapes by... The joys of aftermarket FI can also become your pain.

Anyone else MOT day looming ??

Good luck for tomorrow Beedub.

Mine passed its MOT on Saturday, with no advisories. Had done nearly 8k miles since last time and in total the car has done just over 110k miles.

I am happy! :)

what a great day... car passed with flying colours and even scraped the emissions testing today I'm guessing due to the hot ambient temp....
Cruised along the motorway for a god couple hours at 65 , no music, just listening to the engine , sun shining... Bliss.

Congrats Byron :thumbsup: - even when you're pretty sure that they're not going to find anything wrong, it's still a feeling of relief at the end when they hand you the cert...

definitely perry.

I felt deep pride when I'm at svm home to some serious exotica and the staff and coming over to chat and are taking pics... The car so much love today, staff were literally in awe of a little z4 thats sat next to mclarens and 1000hp GTRs.

The said its one of the most detailed builds they'd seen, and commented how the car appeared new like condition, was genuinely taken back by the attention. i adore this car even after all these years.

i took a pic of one of the staff.... taking pics.
