IT PASSED !!!!!!

Went through without even an advisory! The only thing he said I might want to consider doing is getting hold of a spare steering coupling.

The whole garage and some of the customers then stood around admiring it - and the tester said - This is a lovely little car!

One of the mechanics came by and said he has some spare parts from one he had some time ago, so I am going to get them off him later in the week.

What a relief!!!! Billing here we come! :D

(Just DVLA local office to get tax next.....)

Thanks - but it wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't had help from you and all the merry band that helped out on the Reading weekend.

I was dreading having to go in the Matiz again - I don't think I could have taken the ribbing!

I am so chuffed I can't stop smiling.
