Wingz123 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Maybe it refers to the fact that it could have been round the clock (no room for extra digit!?) and as such the mileage should be taken with a pinch of salt....!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 He is the bouncy bouncy bouncy druid! He needs to frame the MOT certificate. And now to cap it off, he needs to do a full Woollard, with a double thumbs up Triggernometry style.

Popular Post dollywobbler Posted March 16, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2018 Sorry for radio silence. It's been a frantic afternoon. There must still be some crap in the carb, so every now and then, all the power goes, and I can only keep it going on the accelerator pump - ie shutting and opening the throttle repeatedly. However, after a fair dose of stress, we eventually made it to the OBLIGATORY. Just think, her first visit to a petrol station in 14 years! The chap behind the counter came out to have a look. Best support car ever. We decided to take the very scenic route, rather than the main road. We arrived at the MOT station at bang on 2pm, just! The yard was full of Morris Minors and Protons. Ideal! An MOT was passed! It did very well on the brake test apparently. Tester did find a missing cotter pin on the handbrake linkage (oops) which he replaced, and an exhaust clamp that I'd forgotten to tighten up (oops) which he tightened up. Otherwise, nae probs! So, it was off to the Post Office, a few more miles away. There, the tax class (Historic), body type (Tricycle) and engine size (493cc rather than 9999cc) were update and I was given a receipt as proof of tax. Sorted! Took the minor roads again, and little TWC was still coughing and spluttering a fair bit. Then she'd pick up, and you'd find yourself flying towards a sharp bend rather alarmingly. To drive, it's very odd. Very quick off the mark, and trying to brake and steer at the same time is horrendous. You can't rest your arms on the handlebars either, as that applies the brakes, so the long-distance trip is going to be painful. Fastest speed achieved? An indicated 55mph, which was terrifying! And now tea. Squire_Dawson, Zelandeth, Supernaut and 88 others 91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
