Default MOT'd and a pamper.

Had the big old girl MOT'd by the usual old boys I take my cars to. They were a bit smitten with it I think. Car passed with no advisories other than the usual undertray/engine cover/child seat prevented bla bla... So I fixed the dicky fold out door pocket (pin fell out a while back) and had it valeted.

Could be worse.

Good stuff.

I always dread MOT time when it comes round, whichever car it's for.

Seems to be the time for A8 MOTs, mine was done last week. No advisories just a verbal mention that when the screen washers were tested, after squirting on the screen the bottle emptied on the floor...

That would be it, especially after I'd forgotten about it (four cars to remember) and it was a month overdue...

Another club member here, both my cars are due next month and are booked in with my tame MOT tester who lives nearby and drives them to work, bringing them back tested (and fixed where absolutely necessary).
__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions and extended leather. Ski hatch retrofit. Aftermarket reversing camera. DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant.
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

We had that set up with our late neighbour. Lovely guy. The world needs folks like that.
