Good luck!

I've got mine in a couple of months.

If youve found no problems and havent changed much (Lights etc) then im sure it will pass

................ well! she is all ready for tomorrow, she's looking her best. Its amazing how all that dirt and road grime hides her beauty, she is 10 years young today (yeah! I know I'm sad).

So wish both of us luck, will be using a local garage and dropping her off in the morning.
