I've had my E30 320 Convertible for nearly a year now. Today is MOT day.

Was dreading it. First time I've had to MOT since I've had it, and money is a bit tight at the moment. After a nervy wait in the garage she passed. With flying colours! Not one single advisory!

I'm so relieved and happy. These old tanks were really built to last. Roll on the summer.

Must try and get some pics up.

Seems like a good week for e30 MoTs (mine went through, just like yours yesterday) definitely a good feeling especially when you see owners of much newer cars with their red papers looking all sad :D

Let's hope for more 'hood down weather' so you can get maximum enjoyment!

Yes! My car hasn't been out in the rain for six months. Pulled out of the garage and the heavens opened :cry:

Got a shock a couple of years ago, when, after the test, the MOT centre mistook me for the owner of a Mondeo that was in there, and handed me the wrong paperwork! Didn't read it properly, but the fail sheet looked pretty much like a full house.
