V8 Convertible - MOT Tomorrow - Gulp!!!

Post by BigDawgV8 »

Hi All,

MOT booked for tomorrow afternoon on the ''Yellow Peril'' and my first 'real' drive. 8)

5 years off the road/5 years of modification and rebuild.

Wish me luck!

I wish you luck - my MOT gremlins always strike in the last 12 hours before the test. It's amazing how brand new bulbs etc.. can fail after you've double checked them.

Maybe the yellow will scare the gremlins away?

Yes PASSED!! :D Happy days, have done about fifty quite slow miles. I'd forgotten what it was like to drive a minor on crossplies and only semaphore indicators as well.... Going to use it every day now until we go tho the national to get some miles done
