Well, it finally happened, I passed the emissions yesterday, no problems at all. All I'e got to contend with now is my useless, jobsworth local DVLA office.

I sat and waited for 50 mins for some spotty urchin to finally check my paperwork, to be told the car needed inspecting. So I asked him why, and he said to check it's identity, to which I replied 'Is a 4 hour SVA not enough?'. Ok I said, the cars downstairs, you can come and check the chassis number. Oh no, he replied, it has to be booked in, first slot, next Monday morning. So I'll get issued my Q plate then? Oh no, he replied again, it will take another 24-48hrs for the manager to check the paperwork.

So no car for Newlands this weekend - ARSE

But on a lighter note I now have in my sweaty little hand a nice NOZ kit ready to install
