Unlucky Thirteen ? ?

Post by jimi »

Unlucky Thirteen ? not for me ;)
My birthday is on the 13th (not this month)
I bought my MR2 on 13/05/2004 and it's MOT was due today the 13th , how's that for coincidences? :)
MOT was booked for 8.30, by 9.30 it had passed 🎉👏 :clap: \:D/
A couple of minor advisories,
Corrosion on the coil springs,
Slight corrosion on the front brake hose ferrules
Slight oil leak,m which is literally a drip once in a blue moon which leaves the sump oily (I normally wipe it before the MOT but forgot this time)
In celebration here's my favourite picture of car out of the many I've taken of it 8)

That's a clean example 8)

Regarding unlucky thirteen: I think you should be ok. I've probably had all the bad luck for AWs with XIII in their name :lol:

I so very nearly Bought a mk1 25 years ago, turned out to be a bit rusty and the one i found to be a great example was being sold by a garage who had issues with putting a years mot on the car.. I'd imagine they are worth decent money nowadays. Nothing like the evo, mk1 escort or cosworth era but give it time... Lovely example, I Want ! :mrgreen:

Google Bots are all over these pages, everytime they initiate a view... Either that or the OP got drunk one night and paid his son a fiver to repeatedly click and go back for an hour or so :lol:

I miss this site so feckin' much... The future turned sour and it doesn't matter what you post online you get some troll trying to take you down !!

If you don't get the abuse you get the advice from a drug induced Potato, As said, miss what this awesome forum once was :(

If that was the case then surely most of the forum posts would have mega views.and thats not the case, would also mean the forum has a severe bot problem that needs looking at :wink:
My son is well past the age where I could bribe him with a fiver :lol:
