Yeah its good, - and im hoping for the end of the month mate as it was M.O.T'd today

 

[Evo8Frankie]

Well on Wednesday morning i thought ill ring my mate who's a M.O.T tester to see if he could find space to book the car in for a M.O.T, he was like you have 5 minutes to bring it round as iv nothing on for 30 mins, but he came and got it anyway and did the road test on the way back to the garage :whistling:,

After 30 mins he rang and announced that it had passed, with only minor advisory's, in terms of -
.A slight blow to the center section.
.Wrong colored indicator bulbs, as iv detango'd the headlights, i need silver/amber bulbs
.Both front tires just legal
.Fog light not working which again i was aware of, need to rewire it

A few pics of the car outside the garage, different to the latest pics that have all been on the drive

And received some more small bits i needed,
.Standard Recirc valve Rubber Pipe
.Standard Battery Mount and Clamps
.Wheels Arch Engine Covers

Standard Strut Brace should be arriving tomorrow aswel because the current one i have has had the arms sprayed Yellow, and my engine bay color theme is now Black and Blue.
