Evening denizens

Just took the car down to the vet's to see about getting it MOTd - turned out they could do it almost immediately

It failed

Mind you, it always does. This time it was rear inner sill corrosion (which I suspected as the rather bodgy job done a few years agao was showing signs of wear), a leaky exhaust (which I also suspected as it's been slightly noisier recently) and, of all things, a loose fuel filler cap (which I didn't expect as I've noticed no change in that in all the time I've owned it).

So I'm taking it back tomorrow for the welder to give me a quote, and things should be sorted out before the old certificate expires on Friday

Welding

Chicken Kiev for tea tonight, with a starter of mussels - the height of sophistication

I have prepared the salmon, potatoes and salad, just waiting for the Lady to get home now.

Evening Nick

Me thinks you need a new car.

[El_Diablo]

I was within 10 posts of ED earlier - must ... drivel ... harder ...

[El_Diablo]

I am disappointed with you....

I thought he'd catch but alas it was not to be, oh well next time...

Welding

How old is it?

It's needed welding every MOT since I bought it

According to the VIN it was built in February 1989 at Ford's Halewood plant in Liverpool, just a few miles from where I was born

Twenty next year
