Wonderful car the Hilman Husky.  My dad had one new in 1957.  Same foorpan etc as a Sunbeam Tiger, shame about the rest of it

It's wednesday, it's 3 o'clock and it's MOT day. Time to see if we need a modern replacement.  

I've put the chloroform in the glove box and I'm dressed up in my best Lesley Crowther diguise just in case.

Errmm........it's Tuesday.

Not premature are you Andy??  Or do you just like dressing up in the Lesley Crowther guise anyway??

Would anyone like to see my CrackerJack pencil?
I can put some tortoiseshell spectacles on it, if you prefer.

Is there still some lead in it???

The MOT tester bloke looks suspiciously like Peter Glaze if you ask me. Sorry Mark, your right, today is tuesday not wednesday. Sometimes I think I'l forget my own.... erm, err, what was it again...?

PS Apprpos of nothing Mark, you'll be delighted to hear that Chris managed to "cure" a lesbian last night. However, Dr Laker's Patented Surgical Implant seems to have taken something of a battering (cue Felix) and now resembles beef jerky by all accounts. I doubt this will help with the MOT though.

Good Lad!!  Shame about his implant tool, but I'm sure he'll caress it better.....probably the next time he is on nights!  

Have you had to leave the Commer there for the test and collect her later, or do you now hold a priceless document in your sweaty hand?

Do Commers have glove boxes? There is the big one in the middle, but thats where the engine hides

[Andy Zarse]

BINGO! She has passed with flying colours, although apparently I need my kingpin greasing.   I will shortly have the priceless sweaty document within my grasp.

Truck, Commers have two glove boxes but no glove box lids. And no, I don't know why either.

A certain Cliff Richards song comes to mind (not Devil Woman!)

Two!  must be the delux version.  Hillman Huskies had a parcel shelf at the front too.

You'll get the new MOT sticker for the windscreen.

I'm sure Chris Zarse can help you with the Greasing!!  

Perhaps this could be an event on Maison Blanche on Thursday afternoon. Posters up all around the circuit advertising "Come to Maison Blanche for the ceremonial Greasing of the Kingpin"

I keep seeing alot of talk about MOT.What is it some sort of tax maybe?
I still think those old Commer RV's look AWSOME!Kind of like a face only a
mother could love.

An MOT is an annual test for roadworthyness Randy.

Required for every car after it is three years old. I'm not certain but I guess the same applies to vans and campers.
