My 17-year-old car just flew through its MOT today with just two advisories. Not bad considering I paid just £300 quid for it, and none of the dealer hassles because everything can be fixed at home without having to log into a computer to change a bulb!!! You can keep your expensive Beemers and stuff, paying for the posh dealerships and computers I'm happy with this.IMG_20180628_181253.jpg

My 7 year old work van passed this week with just an adjustment to the rear brake balance.
Also great reminder service from the gov website, I didn't forget about it this year!

Surprised there are still Vectras on the road, biggest heap of shite going, I had one & it had more faults in it’s first six months than any of the older cars I’ve ever owned.

Here's the pack minus two cars, go on, ask me why so many "washing lines" :D and I'm well aware the fence is cream crackered and the grass needs cutting. having a stroke tends to slow a person down a bit, o_O and not a "Vectra" in sight.l:pIMG_20181020_133457.jpg IMG_20181020_133614.jpg

Why so many security lights?

The paint on the garage window needs attention

And you thought you had covered the photos from all forms of mickey taking...?

I believe they are round the back behind the broken down burger van.

Out of interest I looked at the mot record for my old 03 Swedish barge - one advisory (handbrake adjustment) in my eight years of ownership....has failed all three mots since I got shot....every time for a failed bulb of one sort or another.

How stupid/lazy can you get!

Goes to show, the person that bought your old barge is an idle twat and couldn't be bothered to check something simple like blown bulbs, which is typical of most barge owners, not bothering from one MOT to the next!!!
