Listening To: My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words
Hi all!
Due to my fueled hate for MSN space, I have decided to create a blog on blogger.com until I find time to make one on my website! I believed it was a good idea to keep up a blog for as long as I could for my new years resolution, I know I'm a few weeks late but hey; kiss my ass..
Today I went to get my car MOT'ed first car to have this done.. And well, it failed on the following:
01. Nearside headlamp not working on main beam.
(aka. Left side headlamp doesn't work when using full beam)
02. Nearside front tyre not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions.
(aka. Left front tyre should be on the right, rather than left)
03. Offside front tyre not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions.
(aka. Right front tyre should be on the left, rather than right)
04. Offside rear tyre has a tear, caused by seperation or partial failure of its structure.
(aka. Right rear tyre has a hole in it)
05. Exhaust system has a major leak of exhaust gases.
(aka. Left side headlamp doesn't work when using full beam)
02. Nearside front tyre not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions.
(aka. Left front tyre should be on the right, rather than left)
03. Offside front tyre not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions.
(aka. Right front tyre should be on the left, rather than right)
04. Offside rear tyre has a tear, caused by seperation or partial failure of its structure.
(aka. Right rear tyre has a hole in it)
05. Exhaust system has a major leak of exhaust gases.
(aka. Exhaust has a tiny crack in the pipe which needs welding up)
Why do they have to use glorified sentences? I found myself just nodding and smiling, I had no fucking idea what he was on about! So anyway, because I'm a noob at MOT's I realised now, shit! My car isn't MOT'ed anymore! Meaning, I couldn't drive it on the road.. Well, myself being the naughty person I am. I drove it to my friends shop to get the exhaust patched up 30 odd quid there.. I went to get the front tyres swapped and rear replaced, 42 quid there.. Then this afternoon I picked up a headlight bulb for the light.
When I was due to fitting the lightbulb, I found to my surprise the bulb was working fine! Was he trying to con me? Or perhaps there is a wire loose? Well anyway, I now have a bulb in my glove box!
I eventually got my car back to the MOT garage, and yes she passed! He swapped the dirty red FAILED letter for a nice green PASSED letter. I felt like this.. --> ^.^
So yeah, my first MOT.. How do I feel? ... I hated it! Next year can't come any slower in my case.. Stupid thing.
Also, while I was up at the garage, next door where I get all the bodywork done on my car, the owner Pete wanted to know if I have any pics of my car.. (When cleaned because it looks like a ton of soil has just fallen on it).. I have no idea why he wants some pictures, but I'll find some! Or take some new ones when I get around to cleaning it, or when it's not minus temperatures!
