With just over 50 days to go for 3ma14, it was about time I got the 131 out of hibernation  Cheesy So on Friday old faithful Trev was used to liberate the 131 from its hibernation garage. I pumped up the tires, gave it a quick wash (I always think MOT testers will look at a clean car with much more considerate eyes   Wink Grin) and took it for the test which luckily (or should I say "of course"  Grin) it passed. It was then straight to the post office for a new 12 month tax disc and Hugo the 131 is now officially back on the road and getting ready for 3ma14  Cheesy

Well done Theo! Wink

My Abarth MoT is not likely to be that easy. Undecided A headlight I broke on the Special Stage of 3MA a couple of years ago has let in water and the silver has decayed so that will need replacing. It's also running like a dog so that will need sorting.........still, it's going to Bobby's on Wednesday to have these small maladies remedied, along with a nice new clutch  Grin

So, fingers (and everything else for that matter) crossed........otherwise 3MA14 will be completed by me an 1600 Special, that's gonna struggle to keep up with the twin cam boys. Undecided
