Hurray! Another year of fun!

Sep 27, 2007 1 Replies

My 16-year old MX-5 needed its MOT a month ago (MOT being the UK test every car has to undergo every year to ensure it's safe). Due to a move it's been sitting in front of my house for that entire month looking glum. I finally got it tested yesterday and it passed, first time, with flying colours - not even a quibble about emissions which I was worried about due to a fried catalyser. Another year of fun, hurray! :-) Just thought I share that.

They certainly seem to, yes.

62 758.4904 miles according to Mr. Google's calculator. Or thereabouts. :-)

I bought it used as a Japanese import about 5 years ago with only about 30

000 miles on it; I've put on the rest. I suspect that in its first 10 years it was a Sunday car that lived in a garage. I've managed to keep it in pretty good condition even though it's had to live on the street for part of the time I've had it; now that it's a second car (after a junior addition to the family) I keep it covered most of the time. I think the neighbours think I'm somewhat over-protective but hey, if it means it lasts another 5 years or so it's worth it.
