Hello John, a great pity you're selling the two Acoma's.
Now what are we going to line up on Jean's lawn at the next Open Day? - Anyone else here got one?
There's nothing really fundimentally wrong with my Mini-, its just that the local class 3 testing station seems to be messing me about a bit by saying they can't test it due to it "not fitting their equiptment." Yet the same station tests Berkleys & Trojan bubbles reqularly! Personally I can't see the differance myself between the Comtesse & a Trojan, and I'm sure the MoT testers handbook states that not fitting the equptment is not a valid reason to refuse to test. You just have to do it the hard way rolling around on the floor.....
Added to this, there is only two Class 2 testing stations in the whole of this part of Oxfordshire, one in Abingdon & one in Enysham, neither of which is particulary close by Mini-Comtesse, so at the moment, with the way the testers seem to be flaffing me about, I am less than enthused to bother right now. Think I'll wait till the spring.
The only real faluts with the vehicle is cracked headlight lenses, non-working speedo & no seatbelt. The lenses have been sorted thanks to a pair of Heinkel lenses from the wonderus Mike Shepherd
, the speedo & seatbelt I rekon don't matter anyway due to the vehicle limboing under the weight & engine size limits for such requirements. If the tester does start grumbling, I shall just ask them how, in that case, did it pass two MoT's in Leicester with flying colours in '05 & '06....
