ok, ok, you want to hear the worst thing I have ever done? Yes, forgot to put my new tax disc in for 3 days...even though I had bought it post dated a few weeks or so before. 3 days breaking the law without knowing! Lucky i noticed, phew!
lol
Good luck all with MOTs, and Dave, i'll let you off, you didn't do it on purpose.
I am off camping tomorrow in my newly passed Uno with the girlfriend so see you in a few days.
BUT before I go, i'll tell you what a MOT is worth:
20 miles after passing, I heard some clanging, like metal sheet hitting the ground, silly me drives another few miles and hears it again on speed bumps, ok, better check me thinks. The heat sheild grill thing underneath the catalyst (i think?) had come off. A bad repair a few years back by someone involved a jubilee clip which had just corroded down to nothing (from 1cm thick in places to less than 2mm in others, it simply cracked). The heatshield thing was partly damaged and my spare uno has something different/doesn't have one so i've made do and mend, firstly with a coat hanger around it and then a jubilee clip as before but only over the half undamaged side. Oh well, will last another 3 years
LOL, ironic it happened today...IMO anyway.
See you all soon.
