Wednesday 8th May - MOT time for the Zetec.

 Due to other things going in my life over the past few months, I had completely overlooked the Mot date on my Zetec Cortina. Although the car doesn't actually need an Mot, it's a condition of my insurance that it has one because it's highly modified. (It produces more than double the brake horse power than it originally left the factory with!)

I had a meeting in the morning, so I booked the Mot for 3.40pm at Wickford Motor Services. It was a nice sunny day and I enjoyed the drive down there. The only slight issue was that this car has always had a 'quick shift' gear lever, but some reason something happened (or broke) and all of a sudden it went back to being a normal gear change. Weird! 

The Mot was a success (Just an advisory for a brake pipe bracket to straighten up) and I rushed home to try and keep one step ahead of the rush hour traffic. The car drove well though, I just need to sort out that quick shift issue.
