My flat tyre caused by a bird seed and 'totalised' BMW experience

Hey Accy, I looked up your car to get the right spec for it to see if a power socket is a standard fitting and you’re showing as not currently MOTd! 😳 (Expired 15 Feb 23)

Better get booked in with your guy across the road asap!

He was on his way there when he happened past the tailors shop, and in the window...

I knew about the overdue MOT last week when I looked up online my insurance renewal stuff. I thought the MOT would run out on the 4th of April, a year to the day since I bought the car. The place I bought it from usually give you a full year's MOT, but for some reason they MOT'd the car In February. 🤔 Anyway, by coincidence I've just had it MOT'd and it passed!

Check for yourself to see if it's now MOT'd, those who doubt my word!!

I asked him, but he couldn't do it for three weeks, so I went elsewhere.

I looked on the DVLA website and saw a few advisories...

"Driver is a bit of a dandy, addressed staff as 'old chap' and 'my good fellow' "

"Herringbone tweed seat covers in drivers field of view."

"Monocle liable to cause injury in event of a collision,"

£50 for the MOT. I suppose the mechanic who took it made a tenner as it passed without any problems. I could've taken it myself and saved a tenner, but I'm just glad it passed and I renewed my insurance for £239, compared to last year's £213, but this time I got a £45 excess deal, compared to last year's whopping £450!! All in all, the MOT, insurance and the 'road tax' which is due in 2 days will have cost £319 which would buy me a decent pair of shoes, even a Borsalino fedora, but it could've been worse and at least I'm all 'legit' now!

Did you tip the fellow a guinea on your way out?

Nice words from Camilla! https://www.womanandhome.com/life/r...dship-ritual-she-shared-with-paul-ogrady-as-s
I like Camilla. She and King Charles (the spaniel...can't get that out my head ) have 2 adopted/rescued Jack Russells.

With all her wealth and power she could've adopted, or bought some poncy 'designer dog', but chose two humble JR's!

We have something in common as I had two JR's in the 1990's and beyond.

I BG'd Camilla once on a visit to Poshshire. I have to say she was utterly charming, but did insist on slipping bird seed into every valve cap she could see.

Ah, so that's where my post ended up! How silly of me, posting it to the wrong thread!

Got no sympathy for the BMW owner.
I carry a pump that plugs into your cigarette lighter but less and less car's are fitted with cigarette lighter plugs these days so another reason not to buy a new car

They usually have a 12v outlet which is pretty much the same format.

That BMW is a right off. A full body is required, plus all the ancillary damage.

We have currently 4 JRs 🐶🐶🐶🐶

Ye gods, I've just realised. The picture above, our Accy...

In a T SHIRT!

@Drago that was before he discovered the 1940's time machine he keeps a secret in his flat. Or is he a real Mr Benn? The 'charity' clothing store he 'works' in would be the ideal cover!
