MOT 2013

Not a good start to the day as it broke down on the way! £20 worth of dodgy fuel from dodgy Datty and the chuffing thing wouldn't start. Thankfully, (Simon and) I rolled it down the little hill just outside the little garage (where the motor home place was) . The bloke turned up for work at about 08:15 and couldn't help but get his hands under the bonnet! Lots of revs and can of "start-ya-bastard" got it going.

The MOT then. Unbelievable! The rusty sills didn't appear to be an issue. It failed on 4x tyres, which I knew about, and the emissions, which I presumed. Excellent!
