WHAT !!! 
says so on my sticker robbie 
Yup, don’t think it’s anything ‘Special’ - there is nothing listed under the Special Edition heading.
That said, NBs in this condition should constitute some kind of SE,

little mk2 has passed MOT 
Only thing i’m not happy about …
tester said, " oh , n/s headlight is a bit low , i’ll adjust it for you " .
i thought , great !!! , good service 
only to check mot certificate and he’d failed it ( for light ) , then passed it straight away 
when i questioned him , he said it was to keep his pass/ fail figures in the green zone for " good garage scheme "… WTF
Now showing its first ever FAIL on MOT website … AAAAAARRRRRHHHHHH!!!

That’s not good Geoff, so someone has to suffer 'cos the books need to balance? I bet theres a lot that aren’t half as well prepared as your car was, let them have the grief! Oh well, another year out of the way mate:+1:

re MOT yesterday ,
i was talking to one of the lads at work about what the tester had done ( still )
and he told me , that he took his motorbike in for its MOT , asked them to fit a new rear tyre and MOT the bike .
guess what , it FAILED the MOT (on rear tyre )
they then fitted the tyre and PASSED IT
and they gave him a similar explanation
why do we all have targets to hit ???
if a vehicle is good / road worthy then it should pass
( rant over 
)

Hiya Geoff, will be worth waiting for I reckon? You’re getting through plenty of fettling on the new car and as usual, it will be very nice when finished
Cosmetic, structural, mechanical, servicing etc all worth doing and cars looking great! To top it off, a fantastic garage/workshop to do it all in What’s not to like? Long may it continue.

I’m waiting on a pair of speakers, they are stuck in Nottingham ATM so the tracking info says. That delivery office the roof caved in the week before last with the torrential rain, they sent everyone home. Still not fully operational I should have had a 24 hour guaranteed delivery, order placed last Wednesday, all good fun.
