    I've never had big expenses at MOT time, it always just sailed through. Other than the odd bulb or something...

    How was the crimbo pressie then??

        Mine failed its MOT today again for the third year running and always the same thing

        My mate ownes a garage, so he always likes to rub it in, so failing the S2 makes his week. The failure, as always, was....................A blown rear number plate bulb

        Every damn year, I think it blows the day of the MOT and every damn year my mate taunts me for 45 mins, then changes the bulb and hands me the new MOT cert when he thinks I have grovelled enough

        Cheers n

            where did you drive out of intereest? I was at Preswold Hall today doing the Gallardo Vs F360... bitterly disappointed

            not with the cars but the organisation, poor quality congested track time and pi$$ poor "instructors". Wouldn't let me use 2nd gear coming out of the tight section and making me short shift at 5-6k, and massively intrusive traction control. I felt cheated TBH

                I did mine at Prestwold hall also....the instructors on the cars I drove were great, just gave me advice on track positions and traffic...mainly passing!!!....
                especially in the R8!

                it seemed more congested at the registration and in the brief....it did seem a tad congested out on the track...but I had a porshce day brought for me a few years ago down at bruntingthorpe and that, if memory serves, was the same amount of "traffic"...not too bad...

                I think it pays to pick a quieter day.....friday probably not too good as quite a few people finish work at lunchtime and possible head out for their track session...I have always gone mid-week....

                did you keep track of how many laps you did?...then felt like you had been 'short changed'??!?!?!?....

                still would do more days...maybe somewhere different...who knows.....sorry to hear you felt let down.....still gave me a dumb-*** grin though!!!....wait for new avatar...
