I'm not sure how I've managed this, but the fleet seems to have synchronised its "needy requirements". All three are due their MOT.
I know the Beemer needs a few bits and pieces, so that will be about £500, as I can't be asked to do the work myself quite frankly. As ever, the Beemer performed excellently in the lakes all week, and I installed my roofbox "pulley storage" system in the garage when I got back, and took the box off the car. Dead easy. Impressed. It's booked in tomorrow for the work / MOT.
The Clio shouldn't need anything, gave it a good going over today (again, it managed 10 yards of movement this month [emoji23]). But I do need it MOT'd ready for the RS Trackday on the 2nd Aug. So that is booked for next week.
The Shicra also shouldn't want for anything to pass the MOT. It hasn't moved for a few months and looked like it had been at the bottom of the sea, but fired up first time (plucky little b*****d) and then off it went for a pikey clean.
3 cars, 330k between them and I'm very happy with all 3 to be honest. Just keep pounding away without dramas :smile:
Exciting times may be ahead though. We're looking at a getting an auto golf 5 door (mk5) for Sarah to hack about in. Which means the Shicra becomes "surplus".
The potential plan - Shicra 172 with ITBs. Why - because I'm mental and its worth pennies as it is. It will stay looking stock other than the engine. I can then break it or sell it if I get bored. I plan to run it to work though. For chuckles. Also, I have both a
@Budgie and
@NorthloopCup at my disposal. Friends with technical know how = happy bear.
Haven't figured out how to hide if from the wife yet though....
What do we think?
