Thumbs up another year.....

another MoT certificate Once again nothing but praise from the man in charge of such things who informs me she is as solid as a rock so it appears everything is not only tickety boo but also indeed hunky dory

Well done you two i'm wondering when mines due

But 3000 miles Neil That 7 is getting too much use. No excuses for turning up to any meets with out the 8 then..... although i can't say too much as i've not managed any meets yet this year

I passed MOT last week. Got the usual advisory for parking brake like every year before but this time also got advisory on gearbox oil leak from final drive seal which I knew were leaking. New seal bought and awaiting replacement. And I have done even less miles between MOT's then Neil.

Just hope MOT tester doesn't look too closely at my Milltek Race downpipes which state 'not for road use' on them.

nope, mines used as my daily driver so she tots up a fairly low but regular average mileage (8k ish) due to my short 8 mile commute and cycling whenever the weather gods play nicely! Still got low mileage for a 97 (just turned 110k) and having reviewed the emmissions sheet it's as clean as a whistle so hopefully it's got a few miles left in it yet!
