Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

So GOOOD MORNING PEOPLE - WEATHER IS NICE TODAY IN STOKE. I'M THANKFUL IT'S FRIDAY, HAD A RUBBISH WEEK. THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

I thought it was any motor vehicle registered on or before 1973 only exempt from mot.

It's done on a rolling basis now.

I just tried to register my 250RS as a 'Historic Vehicle' - six weeks after doing the application at the Post Office I get a letter saying it missed the 40 year old mark by a week would you believe and it MAY be exempt next year.....?

My 1974 baby is exempt, but off the road undergoing a full body rebuild at the moment, engine and running gear already waiting to be fitted back, torsion bars had to be replaced though.

I expect it's a Trabant, highly underrated I'll have you know. ?

 

[telectrix]

good thing about the Trabant is if you were stuck in a traffic jam, you could improve your German by reading the bodywork.

Did it pass?

MOT'ing vehicles is something I don't miss. Where I am there's no annual testing of cars, motorbikes or vans/trucks. The only time you need to send them in for our equivalent of an MOT is when a vehicle is bought or sold and the ownership name changes. Even then it's only a very basic mechanical test, no emmissions tests, no ECU fault code reading, no catylitic converter check and it won't fail it for warning codes or lights such as airbag or ABS etc.

Yea it passed, advisories on that brake pads but other than that all good.

 

[telectrix]

my van just passed MOT. 1 advise was some corrosion on rear chassis suspension mounts "but not excessive".looks like the wire brush and Hammerite coming out weekend.

I spent this morning at the local surgery, yesterday, the customers family pet got all friendly with me and had a go at my hand..

Not a dog or a cat… this was a flipping snake and a big one too!

Punctured the skin… needed a second treatment this morning.

What an absolute load of b*llsh!t

I leaned on a carpet gripper.
