I thought the 'Tina would be more than that. Nice cossie too.

It always feels nice when you visit a place and the people working on your car take interest and take pics etc...

I'm quite lucky with some of the stuff I get to mot, everything from a lotus Carlton to mk1 and 2 escorts, a mint mk4 xr31, some mk2 jags, quite a few Cossie's, American cars and a lot of custom yank stuff. A lot of people know that I'm into classic cars so they will only bring them to me for mot as so many youngsters now are mot testers but they can't mot the old stuff properly as they have no idea about them and tolerances etc.

Lotus cortina is amazing, I'd love one in my garage just to look at. I have driven a couple of mk1s and they are defiantly nicer to look at than drive, well that's just me as I've got used to creature comforts of a modern car like power steering and inertia seat belts.
