Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
I assume with your high standards it went straight through Paul? So how many miles have you covered in a year?

Well if yours didn't pass Paul there'd be no hope for most of us! Seriously though getting a new ticket is always a relief isn't it? I can only compare it to being an expectant father in the delivery room - you are so emotionally involved but everything is out of your control.JubileeNut wrote:Got a new MOT

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Yes it did go straight through, covered about 1700 miles last year. about the same the year before but 3000 in the year before that but it went to Yorkshire then
The MOT guy said at the start he was wasting his time so I said go and find something wrong! He found play in the front wheel bearing and I said think again
Hes a good chap who used to work at Aston Martin
In the workshop was a TR6 and MGBGT and while I was there the guys from the next unit came over to look at the TC and were nice about it so all was good
2 weeks time got to get an MOT on my daily car but better give that one a check first
