Great story Alan, I'm still wiping away the tears. Try carrying out those kind of repairs on a Mazda !

Luckily in those days the maximum speed one of those old bangers would do was 30 mph.

The NCT in Ireland was implemented to rapidly bring things up to standard.
And because the EU ordered that all member countries must have a vehicle inspection.

I couldn't agree more.
I haven't read a story like that in ages.
Thanks Alan!. [Linked Image]

Judging by the look of some of the farm vehicles around here, I reckon riding in them is pretty similar to Alan's story!

Might just as well not bother checking any of the lights during the MoT, since nobody can see them under six inches of mud and other assorted farmyard muck.

I visted the Chatham Islands some years back to see relatives and I can tell you, you haven't seen a vehicle until you've been there.
Things like seat-belts, mufflers and even doors seem to not exist at all.
It was a culture shock!. [Linked Image]
