Re: [doc] Hana and her magical MOT

Gee thanks Paul!

As if I need anything else to go wrong with this car... the test station 
blokes were great and loved taking the mick... but they did ask me not to 
bring it back ;o) - jokingly of course.

So.. I'll check that pipe tonight... though I will say this... I have a 
custom overflow tank where the engine bay light would normally go and the 
pipe from THAT split yesterday... erm... oh dear!

I think our cars should meet and have a good "bitch".
