I have to be honest and say I was surprised. A very quiet tester who was very thorough.  I took it to a proper testing station rather than ones that were recommended for being forgiving as I wanted to know the truth!

The drive there was interesting, it only takes like 5 minutes.... shame... Was so strange driving it again after all this time and despite not being perfectly set up she pulled like fook at top end!  Down a twisty country lane in low gears and high revs to blast any leftover cobwebs, stopped 3 times as I was getting some nasty rubbing/wuring noise from the n/s front wheel when turning right although faded on the way back so hope it's just the new brakes.

Each test ramp has one man, my car ended up with four gathering round it and the younger lads were randomly asking me questions etc. The tester bloke was really nice afterwards and I look forward to taking it back in the hope of a pass!

Only pic I have from my phone before it's battery died.

NICE ONE!

Good that it's only small bits and I bet you were smiling behind the wheel.

Good luck!
