Mine's got an MOT that expires in 2010, bet that's pretty rare at the moment

[puggy]

Just means my car is lighter and ready to race

Actually I do believe I was the first (in July) and mine only failed temporarily on a side repeater not being orangey enough
Which was rectumfied in 30 seconds

Eh? How could you have got an MOT 'till 2010 in July?

[steve_earwig]

Hold on, no leather, no 6-speaker stereo, no cd changer, no cruise, no mudflaps ( )...

Ah, at least my handrake's on the right side

Yeah, just a shame the microswitch keeps sending that "brake fluid low" warning to the onboard computer

Ahem, I'm afraid I haven't joined that particular club (yet) Anyway, my D9 can't go wrong if I aint driving it, right? (yeah, I know, wrong)

Edited 'cos I have 10 thumbs

Eek, I thought you posted 2009. I''m ahead of myself

'Sokay then, I thought you were going to say summat mad like Taxis only have to be tested every 2 years or sumpfink.

[puggy]

Oh the company i keep !! mater and pater would be shocked and disappointed in their little boy

[puggy]

and where are the six air bags ??

[DaiRees]

Never mind that, they tried to get me to go on a course to get an NVQ in taxi-ing

Two hours a week for 4 months

Funny that, cos the amount of time I've spent with my arse superglued to the seat of a pug you'd have thought they'd have bypassed that and just handed me a Doctorate

Hey I could have been your assessor

[DaiRees]

"Right Miss Soops, you have exactly 2 minutes and 25 seconds to get from A to B without breaking Mrs. Longbottom's eggs. I want to see use of the chromatic mirror, the sound system, and above all, the middle finger upon spotting some pr*ck with his foglights on. Points will be deducted for having to stop, give way or indicate"

So you've covered the following Performance Criteria:
- Carrying out tasks in a timely manner.
- Taking care to protect others (and their eggs) from harm when undertaking working activities.
- Using equipment safely, correctly and ony for the intended purpose.
- Resolving disputes in an amicable manner.
- Using appropriate methods of communication.
- Treating fellow road users with courtesy and respect.
- Understanding the rules of the road (and when to ignore them).

Congratulations, Ms Soops, you have successfully completed unit 1.

PS: You should've done it, it really is that easy!

[DaiRees]

Yeah the Health and Safety unit is in pretty much every NVQ these days. Sign of the times me thinks

[Doggy]

Why not try it, for the club, and let us know how many times you get flashed?

I reckon you should take one for the team and carry out the above experiment fella

Well gullible me gave it a go.
Turned them on.
(Note to Earwig: warning light is GREEN & an exact twin of the dipped headlight icon opposite).
I'CE BECOME ONE OF THEM!....A FOGGER
They didn't turn off after 35mins.
NOBODY FLASHED
(Not even when I forgot & flashed some pr1ck with his fogs on)
They do give a much clearer view of the underside & suspension of car in front, but otherwise do fog all.

How old's your car Doggy? I just posted my theory on this in the other thread....
