Hey everyone!
Big day for me here today! First ever MOT for 11477.
I’ve spent the last 2 months getting her mechanically sound and placing almost weekly orders with Arran. Who, by the way, is a top chap and gets the goods shipped out in record time.
Anyway, today was the first time for her to be driven on British roads since she was shipped from Belfast in 1982 to Chicago Illinois.
My MOT station was 15 miles away.... and that concerned me, seeing as she’s never been driven for any duration.
But, I tell you, she was a dream to drive. Absolutely flawless - and in stinking pouring down rain down here in South Wales!
The wipers worked..... but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out the intermittent wipe! Lol
So, yes, she drove brilliantly, acceleration was spot on, handling was tight and gear changes were spot on too.
And to the point YES, SHE PASSED!!! With zero advisories too!
The emissions all passed too of course.
I’m over the moon - and the 15 miles drive back was an absolute treat.
I’ve just finished filling out the V55 (thanks Mike for the guide) and all ready to send off with the supporting docs on Monday.
Thanks to you all for your help. 11477 still needs some tidying, but I can tackle all that as I go......
Woo hoo!!
