1st Day of the new regulations..Tester ripped me to shreds!

Postby Jamie N » Mon 21.05.2018, 16:19

For only doing 61 miles since the last MOT :lol: . I thought it was at least a hundred but there you go, I will make more of an effort
this year. The Tester was all over it like a rash, taking pictures and trying to buy it there and then for cash! :) .

Anyway I have spent the last couple of weeks putting other folks motors aside and getting it ready, fitted new front wheel bearings,
alloy radiator, new fans, stripped all the brakes and generally tidied everything up, Tester went over it with the proverbial fine tooth
comb as well as blagging a quick run round the back roads!, I couldn't really refuse seeing he gave it a clean bill of health and a brand
new ticket with no advisories, happy days :D .

The Meldrewonians will be seething reading that with the chimerical idea that you cant own a Lotus and only
do a tiny mileage in it :-D .

Well Never mind the Bollocks, God save the garage Queen! ,We love our garage Queen, and a garage Queen
it will remain, much to the chagrined vexation of some. :D

Although there will be occasional days when its normal residing space becomes Pretty Vacant I'm sure. ;-)

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply .

I think you have misinterpreted Pinky and Parky's posts Mark... It's songs and lyrics!, not ones I would imagine you listening to
right enough so I will let you off :D .
