| Post subject: | Bastard Cars |
fucking MOT day, car has been running as sweet as a nut and thought it should sail through. no fucking chance, some shit about bushes and suspension arms and brake pipes. BASTARD  .....probably near on £300 of work. I'm getting it done then flogging the fucker. It is actually a great little car, 'Fiesta zetec' racing green, alloys, aircon, cd, 61k milage,. £1500 if anyone on here is interested, £1700 if I flog it on auto trader.

I had a similar experience when I took my car in for its MOT earlier this year. I foolishly thought it would sail through so put it in for the test when I was up home in Yorkshire. Of course it failed and I didn't have enough time to have the work done before I had to travel back down here(funnily enough it was something to do with the suspension and bushes) also needed a new tyre and windscreen wipers (just over £300 worth of work needed). Anyway to cut a long story short, I had a new tyre fitted and put it in for a new test at Kwik Fit down here (didn't tell them it'd failed) and guess what - it sailed through! I took it to Kwik Fit because I reckoned they had no incentive to do any unnecessary work unlike some other garages. I could be doing someone a disservice and all that but it does make you wonder ... |

It is indeed a fucker of the highest order! this credit crunch bollocks is starting to bite harder than a chav's pitbull. Christmas is round the corner and I hope the kids realize that daddy will have to start selling his arse on the townhall steps to pay for it.

Sorry to hear that Dave. My Bike service and MOT cost over £700 this year. And I had to buy new tyres for the f**ker 2 months previously at £220 for the pair. Hope this makes you feel better!!

A word of warning. Now that MOT tests are computerised, if your motor fails a test, wherever you take it to next for a re-test will know that it has failed a previous test. And that's not all - because your car has failed a test, your insurance may be invalidated even though your old test is still in date. Technically you're driving a vehicle that has failed an MOT test. Big brother strikes again eh? |

I should be ok, I take my car to a mechanic who does me the work then gets it re-tested. Gonna get it fixed up and flog it. Just as the Sheffield bus drivers go on strike!! |
