Sadly, the phrase "purpose built to customer requirement" generally means "no stock"  and "whatever we think we can charge the customer and get away with"....

Mark what are you thinking of?

This is heresy the thing has no élan, a sheer absence of style

No doubt the phrase "whatever we think we can charge the customer and get away with".... means MOD isn't buying this year either

GOOD LUCK TO THE POPEMOBILE

I am sure that with the excellent spanner work by His Lordship, luck won't come into it.

Best of Luck

If its registered as a campervan rather than a commercial, and its being tested at a normal garage, they'll never get it on a lift (or even inside) so won't be able to have a good look underneath.  Its bound to pass, as even if it goes to one of these corrupt b@st@rds in the garage trade, he can hardly sell you a set of pads and a new exhaust.

But do check the lights

Having spent the last 3 months helping out at my friends MOT station I consider myself to be quite up to speed on the ins and outs of this hazardous experience.
She is a Private HGV and comes under the normal Class 4 MOT test, however, due to size and weight she has to be tested at a Class 7 rated station due to width and track.
This means going over an HGV test pit rather than on a lift.
There is one locally but they are renowned money grabbing C**nts so I am going further afield as a friend of a friend works there and they test all sorts of hideous old horse lorries etc.
Having spent the afternoon clambering about underneath and testing the whole lighting system...... fingers crossed!!!

Rex, I do feel that you are being very unkind to us all here ..... Not only do we not have any pics of the progress being made on the Popemobile, we don't even have a few 'tasters' of the pyre you made of the old soundproofing ......  Roll Eyes Cry
