Took the car for it's MOT test yesterday and it flew through with no problems other than the horn didn't want to work.
I've driven it up and down the road but i'm waiting for my insurance to really drive it some distance. I'm pretty pleased with it overall, plenty of grunt -pull away in 3rd no problem.

That car is beautiful. Great to see a 914 on the road in Europe.

Where is your rear fog lamp?

WTF is wrong with you silly Americans

Why its the 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOT_test' test, of course



I guess its the UK's equivalent of our 'DOT' or 'DMV'

Correct -a once yearly test for roadworthyness
it's running a 2.4T which is perfect as its got enough grunt with out tearing itself from it's mountings.

L32K pheonix red. I made a couple of subtle mods -the boot lock, the engine fuse board and the wipers

Beautiful car.
