Veronica sailed through the MOT today..no advisories but a dying battery scuppered my joy when she wouldn't start just before the test..off to treat her to a new battery and a good service!

That's good news John. While you're doing the service you can look for those door cards.......

A real feel good moment when you walk out of a test station with a fresh MOT with no advisories.

"Erik" - my 96 stroker - passed his MoT on Friday morning with no problems . He'd been off the road for several months whilst I cleared up last year's advisories - CV boots and brake hoses - and fixed a "small" hole under the driver's seat. Had to remove/replace a section of the "top hat" for that. Took the opportunity to refurbish the front suspension and fit all-new suspension bushes, new front springs, refurbished calipers, new b/j and boots and generally give the area a good tidy up. Took longer than I thought - 3 months to do one side and one day to do the other! - but what with the cold winter and working full time I just did it in short bursts when I felt like it. There wasn't any pressure until the MoT deadline got closer . many thanks to my neighbour, Mike, for his excellent welding and all the support he gave me. We've been renovating his mid-60s Sunbeam Alpine Mk III in parallel, so the effort has been shared. That's coming on well - we fitted the engine/gearbox last weekend - he's now getting ready to paint it then it'll be off down to the local garage (Saab specialist) for its MoT.

Thanks, James. Good to see John and "Veronica" at Swedish Day today. "Erik" stayed at home, as I "lost" my spare driver, and I took the 'vert. A lovely sunny day for top-down cruising around the Dorset and Somerset back roads.
