Default A Good Day..

When you take it in for its MOT, and it comes out forty minutes later without so much as an advisory.



and the MOT station had a flat ramp, no spoiler crunching moments.

Thought I would put something good on the board today to offset all this scamming that seems to be going on in our poor old country.

Ive gotten use to that look, four years of ownership of the Blob and four years of no advisories and three different test centres

Im sure my time will come but I think its Karma for all the money I had to spend on my Type R the day after I bought it/got ripped off by a specialist that will remain nameless

German cars might have refinement inside the cabin, but Japanese cars are built to last, so i'll forgive the cheap plastic trim.....my brothers Audi S3, never got driven, and needed minimum £500 every MOT.
