The Speedboat is ready for the MOT. My rear drivers side caliper is a bit squeaky in reverse, but that should free up on the way to the test centre. Going to try and get an oil and filter change in before if I can, depending how soon I can get it booked in.

I gave the car an overdue wash. I noticed a few small things that need sorting out - that's been added to the list! I need to give the VT some serious TLC this spring/summer! Can't wait! :D

Few pics... we love pics! :D


Notice the slight kink in the bonnet up top... but I think it may have been there before the bump.

The finish on the paint is still crap, orange peel central! I'm going to hassle the insurance company tomorrow.

And rear fog... (car is in reverse as well, as the handbrake is off)

This is avatar worthy I think...

cheers
i would of just screwed/bolted a fog to the bottom of the bumper, but last MOT I had to fix it on the spot, all i had was my tool box. so just chopped the reverse wire and brought the fog wire back up behind the rear lights and spliced them together. then wrapped the bulb in red electric tape. and it passed :D

looks OEM now though. 8)
