I was ready for an MOT all last week but to gay to take the car out in the rain/snow.
I've decided to strip the inlet manifold in an attempt to cure an idle air leak problem.
I don't see the point in taxing the car when the weather is so pap!

Glad I didnt tax mine this month. We had about 6" of snow when I woke up yesterday and have had about the same again since last night 

e30topless said : Proper BMW's have 4 headlights, last of the run was the E30 and E34/E32 anything after that is just complete shite
I'm impressed with how clear the actual lane looks, the A42 and A45 looked worse than that a 6:00 this morning!
I tavelled from Aberystweth on the west coast to retford near doncaster yesterday and some of the roads out in the sticks were down to one lane an the snow was over the hedges, there were also a number of fields with sheep in with the snow nearly as high as the sheeps backs no way would the e30 be out!

You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

In a way I'm glad mine never came out at all last year either. Summer was so shite tax would have been a waste of money.
I'm hoping this year will be different.
