Pleased you are back on the road mate. To celebrate, when can I come round to fit this for you? Bit worried there won’t be space under the bonnet so maybe the passenger seat?

Looks perfect, can have it blaring your “simply the best” as I pull into an OAPs driveway to pick up a lathe.

Few other cars around that can literally fly through their MOT.
It’s no mk5, but it looks OK.
My 1.7 cdti does 0-60 well within the same day.

Just about to drop the car off for its yearly mot fail tomorrow.
Think they should abolish the mot system like Jersey

All the brakes are fucked.
Sort of knew, was wondering if they would realise.
It’s the power, it takes some stopping.

New discs, new pads, handbrake, couple of bulbs and bobs your auntie 
Still think failing it on brakes and lights is petty.

Is this Roundabout Garage? They found fault with the brake pads on our Polo too. I reckon it’s a ruse.
No Plymouth one.
Got to pick it up when Amber finishes work, her boyfriends dad owns the roundabout one.
Only useful if the car is capable of restriction to sub light speeds though.

Breaks on an Astra. About as much use as a silencer on a neutron bomb

I love the look of Gassers and Altereds of that period.

Yup, as the Motor Trend article points out, the 60s was the golden era for this madness. Always liked Willys coupes
