My POS car has cost me millions if I had to pay for my labour. You wouldn't think so because Ive hidden it well!!

Owelly, Unfortunately the RX was in no fit state to just bolt a few go faster bits on and drive up to York, so even though the car's cost less than £999 in bits a lot of labour has gone into it. I'll probably ebay it afterwards to try and recoup some of the labour costs [;)] She even passed her MOT yesterday at the 1st attempt, after much head scratching fron the Tetser due to its lack of back seats / belts. He wasn't going to pass it at first[:(], but we won him over [:D]

I have a 'special' MOT guy. I've been taking cars to the same bloke since before I was legally old enough to drive. He is strict on some things but has the ability to use his common sense. He wouldn't fail my car for having a cracked number plate but wouldn't be too happy if the calipers were dangling from a piece of string. My car was subjected to the most briefest of MoTs. In fact, it was so short, I had to go back and collect the certificate because the VOSA puter woun't issue a pass cert until 45mins after the car was logged on. My MoT took about 10mins.....

mcmark, it was the anti-climax of the century! It took me years to build, many hours of frantic spannering to get it to the MoT and then to get the tax the day before the challenge, only for the car to **** itself. I don't think I'll be entering any endurance events in it......

I'm feeling the pain.... I think I would've cried having spent all that time and effort and poured so much of myself into it.

I assume that you were driving on a road that know very well.

I assume this because you must have been driving by memory, not by actual vision (due to there being none)

Yon may want to consider put some sort of fog lamp arrangement so that when the front end of the car points in the air under acceleration,you still have some kind light point in the forward facing direction.

Just a thought [:D]

Entry List???
