D-DAY!!!
So up with the lark, and round to collect
@jas_racing then over to Cambridge to collect the Car Transporter I’d arranged to rent for the weekend:

Then back home, and car safely loaded up:

Wanted to nip round my parents, to just let them have a look at the finished article:

Then it was down to the MOT Station. Little bit of confusion when arrived as they didn’t have a booking, but then they checked my name, and not Jez’s, and there it was!!
Left car with them and Jez and I had a walk into the town, and grabbed a Weatherspoons Muffin breakfast whilst sitting out in the beautiful sunshine:

Took a walk back to the MOT Station, to find out the car had FAILED



The tester told us that it failed on:
- 1 x Rear Foglight un-lit when switch activated.
- Foglight warning logo on dashboard didn’t light up when switch activated
- Nearside steering track rod end locking bolt loose
- Offside steering track rod end locking bolt loose.
BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS!!!
Can understand the Foglight thing, but I’d arranged to take the car to another garage following the MOT to get the tracking done… so felt throughly p1ssed off it failed… Oh well, worse things happen at sea. Let’s move on.
So we then drove over to the garage for the tracking, and left it with them for an hour:

Whilst we nipped into a local garden centre, and had a quick 12 holes of Crazy Golf

Following the car being finished, we brought it back home, and hurriedly finished off a few outstanding things. Like the rear boot carpet:

And of course, fitting the new TurboRenault stickers!!

So that’s the car all locked and loaded for Le French Fest tomorrow, and it’s first time outside under the stars tonight for MANY YEARS!!

️

Hope to see as many of you at Le French Fest tomorrow as possible!!
