Considering police won't just stop every single car on the road and ask whether you have something important to do outside it would be worth the risk. I'd say picking up "your" car to be able to go to work is one of them.

In any case, once you got it, I'll take 10 randoms.

Has there been any clarification on MoTs yet? I know it’s the tiniest concern at the moment but taking the 205 for even a quick spin would do me the world of good and the MoT ran out three days ago and I am self isolating. For some folk it will be their only way of getting to work.

You know when you see an old Airmatic Merc that’s been left too long and and all the suspension has leaked away?

Well, this Nimrod didn’t think “ Poor fucker” like most of us would. No, he saw it as inspiration. 
Doesn’t come with the wheels for £4,5k obviously.

So far if an MOT has expired it stays expired. The talk is extending those that haven't expired yet. My car is in for an MOT today but I've noticed it's not been done yet - possibly the garage awaiting confirmation on what to do.

Strictly speaking, as of yesterdays announcement, you shouldn't be going for just a spin anyway. Of course, there is always going for spin to buy some essential items.

That was my thought, I won’t be going out at all though unless my Mum gets in dire straights.

Garages are currently classed as essential, so most should be open for mot. I heard they have extended HGV tickets to 15 months. They may do same for cars but only if they have a valid ticket at time of extension.

I thought that would probably be the case. I have another car if I do need it so small fry in the scale of problems at the mo.

Yeah, I noticed the garages round here are still open and working on cars when I was out getting essential alcohol supplies earlier.

'was also featured in several car shows nationwide where it worn several 1 place prizes.'

 

If that actually was in a one place prize, it'd come 59th.

MoT extensions. Bring it on. I have two sheds currently Mot 'till early April...Armageddon has it's upside  - if I live 'till April that is to enjoy my MoTs.

(I am currently looking to move into Buckingham Palace once everybody has gone as well).

Much as I am not a fan of Dirge straits, having heard my Mum sing I wouldn’t even wish it on them. If they need someone to clear the streets my Mum with a microphone would be far better than a water cannon.
