SVA Pass - finally
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

Gordon - not sure about Newark, it's a bloody long way in a BEC! Have to see how the weather is nearer the time, and if I have enough family
credits to get away! It will be the Sunday if I do come.
Ned - they are all f**kers !!
