MOT Passed
I'm pleased to say that my 8 flew through its MOT with no advisories last week :-)
 I've got it booked into the dealers on 1st July to have new front discs & pads, as they're past their best, and also 'that' transfer box oil seal which was due to be done at the service, along with a gear linkage service update (free), but they ordered in the wrong seal..... I'm wondering what I can wangle as a courtesy car this time, last time it was a brand new A4 avant 2.0 tdi, which whilst a decently specced car, was rather pedestrian and waaay too small for someone of my stature. I coped with it for a day (which is more than I can say for the last 3 series BMW - just too small & cramped) but could not live with one - so no RS4 for me  , It'll just have to be another S8 or maybe an RS6 of some flavour (in my dreams)
