MOT Day Tomorrow...

All the nipples are greased and the carb tuned. Like it says, I need the MOT cert to take the Commer to Le Mans in France for it's eighth consecutive trip to the great 24 hour car race.

Will keep you all posted on the results.[:0]
 
Good luck with mot, just remember to check the little things like water in the washer bottle, We've been so busy in the past worrying above major things We have forgot something so silly, Have faith in your commer. good luck Lynne & Gary
 
I have in my hand a piece of paper... :D:D:D

Thank you one and all.

I knew things were going my way when the MOT man, who's knocking on a bit these days, drove the Commer onto the ramp. He'd clearly forgotten that the front wheel track is much narrower than the rear and promptly dropped the inside wheel off the ramp and into the pit below. After much grunting, pushing and jacking we eventually got things on an even keel without too much damage. Prior to that he'd been muttering under his breath about brake balance needing to be within 25%. Needless to say, after him dropping a bloomer like that, I knew we were home and dry! Talk about laugh.

Every year there is a Le Mans coincidence on the way to the MOT test and I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen this time. That is until a rather dishy girl who was next in the queue for the test came up and saw the 2007 Le Mans poster in the window. Then she started waxing lyrical to me about her mate's many trips to the big race in La Sarthe... Wicked karma man.
 
what has chamberlain stolen your MOT certificate :D

"you were only supposed to blow the bloody SLIDING doors off no.3"
 
Well done on the MOT.:D
Reading through the story of your Commer dropping of the ramp reminded me about the time I dropped a metro of a two post ramp.[V] It came in to have an engine mount changed and left with a new front end. Surprisingly the customer was very happy (it had two rusty front wings and front panel when it cam in) the moral of this tale is do not trust me with your metro [}:)]

I had to larf at the guy in work (a loonnnng time ago) who took advantage of the garage facilities and put his Reliant van over the pit to change the oil, no really. I took a but of grunting and shoving to shift that [xx(]
