She's passed her third birthday test, hurrah!
Admittedly she failed on her first attempt with a split cv joint boot (very quickly rectified by the excellent Intaservices of Leics, thanks chaps) and, wait for it because the UK contigent won't belive this one, the door button stuck in when they opened the door due to the amount of filthy salt on our roads so that was deemed a failure, had they put the key in and given it a quick wiggle in and out a couple of times it would have been fine

.........
still took it back to the test station tonight and all was fine.....for another year at least I'm legal although I can't imagine for a minute that it will be cost free.............................................. ........
the price we pay for driving enjoyment I suppose
