As of today my car has a lovely smart MOT certificate! And as soon as the DVLA catch up: "It should take 48 to 72 hours but it's going to take a week. OK?" I'll be able to drive somewhere other than the MOT station. I can't wait.
Of course, nothing ever runs quite to plan, and we broke down right outside the MOT station. It was a bit of unfortunate time for my coil to give up, and caused no end of amusement for all the staff at the garage! But all's well that ends well! But of course, this isn't the end. It's just the beginning........ 😃
