Now that's modified.

"Bob Sherunckle" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

I'd pay good money to have watched the VOSA guys go through the SVA on it. Hell, even a normal MOT test.

I wonder if it passed on _anything_?

I was left wondering what was it/was it supposed to be?

There's a story behind that.

F*ck knows what it could possibly be, but surely that wasn't the plan ?

Bought a "started" kit and found out the bodywork was unavailable and had an attack of the "hopelessly optimistic" ?

Whatever, I hope the list of faults from the nice VOSA men brought him crashing down to earth and he never touches a spanner ever again, ever.....

"Tony \(UncleFista\)" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

There's a good tradition of temporarily installing SVA-compliant edge trim, guards etc which mysteriously fall off on the way home, never to be seen again. The Caterham build manual even points out the bits that need to be installed for SVA and aren't needed thereafter.

But a complete set of SVA bodywork? Bit OTT... Especially given the alleged mechanical maladies.

No, my money's definitely on fuckwittery par excellence.

Clothes:

I'm not betting against you :)

The deadline for the SVA is very soon, he was probably sticking it in for the test before the IVA comes in and hoping for a short list of fails to fix before his 6 month deadline for a retest. You never know, he "might" do it :)

I got bought one of those for my birthday (but a much nicer one). It's actually pretty cool ;)

As I have said 'Elsewhere', I thank the lord for an absolutely correct 1973 'M' V5C at this point :-)
