Looks like a fun toy, must be plenty of torque in it to have torn your hands off like that!

Now thats a nice clean shiny machine. Looks great and a nice backdrop too

Is that a long winded way of saying that your putting on weight and the old frame is likely to buckle :)

That was 2 years ago, I thought it was pretty decent through there. The only problem is its a fair hike through for Lee. weekends are likely to be heaving up till christmas now though. Either or suits me, as long as the misses dosent plan anything

lol 20 year old Nissans and salt on the roads arent a great combination, as many on here have found out.. Thats the main reason mine is parked up for the winter

hope so!

lol you havent got the hang of this austerity thing yet, its all about cutting costs (jobs, materials) and making even greater profits at the same time......or am I just being cynical? lol

That was the biggest failing of the last lot of documents, rather than a little tick box the advisories should have been visible. How many traders have been tearing up advisories for years.

They were going to do away with the "certificate" 5 years ago once MOT computerisation was implemented. All that was going to be issued was a little bit of paper as a receipt. The real record of test is stored electronically there has not been a need for a certificate for 5 years. However the "little bit of paper" was deemed to be insuficient to appease the general public because " ive been issued with a certificate for 30 odd years, so I still need one mentality". From reading these posts I now understand the the guru's were spot on lol, ffs this is 2011 everything else is electronic why not an MOT certificate. The benefits as Paul C so rightly points out is far more security, previously there were stolen certificates, forged certificates washed and rewritten certificates and all very hard for anyone other than VOSA to prove authenticity. Now all tests must be recorded on MOT comp, wont stop a bad test but will stop all the hoods selling on vehicles with stolen/forged certificates. It is now far easier for the public to check and see whether an MOT is valid, they can do it from the comfort of their own home. Forget about the bit of paper you receive it is virtually worthless, I dont even understand why the Post office need it for taxing the car as they can see its in test on their computers.

They aint all meaningless numbers though, mine is 69 (my favourite number :devil:) and it aint even a private plate

Yes and I should know better lol

lol I think 99.99% of motors with lsd's are tested on the rollers, I know for the last 7 years all the tests I've had were done on rollers

fpmsl thats ace

lucky man I could do with a little boredom, but too busy :) Always fancied a trip to the far flung islands, I'll get round to it some day

Blame the EEC, for a change it isn't the UK government behind the changes. The EEC is requiring that testing in all the member states is standardised. The idea being a test in the UK is exactly the same as everywhere else, that way we can all accept each others test certificates. We are already pretty strict so imagine what some of the changes are going to be like in some of the other countries. That being said we can opt out of some of the items that have been requested and as far as I understand it the changes have yet to be signed of by the ministers so they aint set in stone as yet ( though they are likely to be passed )

Cheers for the photos Andy, had my camerra with me but didnt get round to using it :) Should have come along, could have been three Z's stuck in the que of Sunday drivers all heading for Loch Lomond

Know how you feel there, Im off to raid my piggy bank.

either suits me, its just a quick blast along the M way. How about mid way quarter past, gives you time to get through ...... then to find it lol........its on the first exit of the M9 into Stirling. Shame you cant make it through Lee, would be good to see what youve been up to with the car since the last meet

Ok what time? and do you want to meet up at Stirling services

The tops never come of during those months as the sun tends to be a bit warmer then and fries my baldy heid

Still waiting on these "sunny intervals" big black clouds hovering about, I dont think the T tops are gonna be off today. How do you fancy a blast over to Loch Lommond?

lol Need to look at mine as well the passenger one sticks down from time to time. Ok I will pop in and out of here for the next hour or so.

All depends who wants to turn up, if there are any of the west coast guys interested then we can head through there. If not anywhere really.

Circuit sounds better

Could do, the clocks ticking till sorn time, where are we going then? I wouldnt mind a wee run on some scenic roads
