Just took the old gal for her mot.....
« on: 20 August 2010, 14:05 »
I hate mot time and always dread going to pick the motor up afterwards when they tell you how many hundreds of pounds its gonna cost  :angry: :grin:


But..... a £50 spot of welding is all that was required this time and now shes all nice and legal for another 12 months  :smiley:

Looks like all the time i spent scouring the classifieds for something different this month (16v) was pointless as im gonna be keeping the 8v beast!  :evil:

This x 6 positions + 2 x missing Bent jacking points  :drool:
Shame really as the engine is good and the tweaks have made it pretty quick for an 8v :cry:
Got until April to find another VW that dont cost £230 to tax :angry: suggestions?
