Title: Getting ready for 3ma14
Post by: Thotos on April 06, 2014, 09:14:31 AM
With just over 50 days to go for 3ma14, it was about time I got the 131 out of hibernation  :D 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   ;) ;D) and took it for the test which luckily (or should I say "of course"  ;D) 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  :D

Well done Theo! ;)

My Abarth MoT is not likely to be that easy. :-\ 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  ;D

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. :-\
