No. I'm not doing a Meg Ryan, but I've just this minute heard that my ancient and neglected ( but loved. I call it tough love) Ford Ka has passed its MOT ( it can be seen hiding behind Titch above). I was told a year ago that this was unlikely to happen, so I'm delighted (and, to be honest, gobsmacked).
Well, not quite passed. It needs ( you'll like this bit) a top mount for the Macpherson strut, an anti rollbar link arm, and a rack end (yes. I thought that was something culinary, too. But it appears I was wrong).
Good news on a horrible wet day! We shall celebrate tonight.

Good news on the car! I have never heard of any of that little lot, though... Love the picture!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of any of it either, Pat. I was just showing off!
ReplyDeleteExcellent news re the car - do you have a name for him/her? (I had problems with my Macpherson strut once - but it is something I prefer not to dwell on, talk about...)
ReplyDeleteTitch is a fine looking specimen indeed - the car is definitely overshadowed by his presence.
Enjoy your celebration!
Anna :o]
Anna, I sympathise. Just keep rubbing in the cream.
DeleteGet it sorted quickly, Frances. You don't want to be going around with an unmounted Macpherson strut - just think what people would say! (OK I confess I have no idea what one of them is and if offered a rack end I'd expect it to be served with roast potatoes and mint sauce)
ReplyDeleteTell me about it, Patsy. It's all soooo embarrassing.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous horse! It is a needful pursuit to encourage those in prison...I admire you. Hope you enjoyed the Challenge!

Thanks, Jarm
DeleteI have heard of Macpherson struts for some reason, although I have no idea what they are. Definitely not a Highland dance, it seems.
ReplyDeleteK
More walk than dance, Kay!
DeleteGreat news - and the car lives another day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rosemary. I was so worried that it would be next stop the scrapyard!
DeleteGreat news on the Ka - I'd never heard of any of that stuff! How fond we get of our cars - I'd hate to part with mine x
ReplyDeleteI didn't know ordinary cars had rollbars - I thought they were for racing vehicles. Maybe that's your other hobby. Don't tell Titch, he'll be jealous.
ReplyDeleteMe too ( re the roll bars), Maggie. But then I know nothing about cars. I just liked the diagnoses!
ReplyDeleteThe rollbar is an anti-tortion spring which.... Sorry nearly got carried away but as the only male commenting so far (and one who has dismantled and rebuilt a Morris Minor to boot) I had to demonstrate my knowledge. It's called an inferiority complex I believe.
ReplyDeletePS Congratulations.
Did you say 'boot'? I know what a boot is (well, it's a start).
