MOT Tomorrow

jims-terrano · 28-10-2015, 21:32

Hi guys it's the big MOT for the project truck tomorrow (Thursday)

Letting the garage fit the front pipe, didn't fancy those studs snapping. Got the insurance cover too. I'm in the process of editing some photos and will update the project thread tonight.

good luck with the mot although I am sure it will be fine, Rick

Sweety · 28-10-2015, 21:55

All the best for tomorrow but i'm sure it'll fly through if not the tester might get linched by everyone on here

don simon · 28-10-2015, 22:02

You'll be fine.

rustic · 28-10-2015, 22:06

Good luck tomorrow Jim, what a fantastic project, a credit to both you and your son.
I never thought you would be ready yet, when I first saw the project, I thought this is going to take a long long time, then you kept finding something else that need fixing.
With all the other work you were doing with the cadets too...

Cheers guys, I'll let you all know how it goes. Just updated the project thread tonight too.

Good luck Jim.With all the work and dedication you have put into this project.The truck deserves a fresh lease of life.

Some of you guys might just think I have grown rather attached to my _ _ year old Maverick that I have had from _ _ _, but every time I see one going to the scrap yard in the sky that is younger than my _ _ year old Maverick, it actually upsets me, as I think it has been short changed, and with a bit (or a lot) of Tlc can have a longer life. (Story of my life lol).
So great that another has been given another lease of life.
Well done Jim and Son.

I have made a bit of a quiz this time, put these words or numbers into the missing spaces above lol...
20 new 20
Hint:- each " _ " represents one letter or number.

Second hint, for those that struggle with quizes... They are in the correct order.

I need to get out more lol...

Moral for the day:-
As in life, early diagnosis and preventative maintenance, is the key to keeping us and our vehicles on the road for as long as possible.

Haha well done Rustic.

Got to say I see it as a waste when there are less and less of these trucks on the road. These are good vehicles and I don't think there will ever be another truck quite like these.

Felt strange driving it to the garage this morning, after such a long time. Also felt odd driving an automatic, hope I can get used to it.

With an Automatic, I was told to imagine your left leg is tied back to the seat so you can't use it.. That was great advice.

5:00 pm Any news Re MOT?

don simon · 29-10-2015, 18:09

They're tenterhooks.

jims-terrano · 29-10-2015, 18:12

Nope no news, left him a voicemail. He always is a bit manyana so I'm guessing it'll be tomorrow now. Before anyone asks yes I have but just goes to voicemail.

And yes I'm well hacked off with him on this occasion
