Hi Lads.
Cheers VND for hosting the pics. There is a fair bit of bling on her
now. A set of chrome mirrors would be nice :D :D :D
Cheers Mark.

Hi all.
This week i took the Banana to the machanics to see what it needed for
the dreaded Norn Iron MOT.Apart from a new set of front brake pads, a
tweek of the steering rack and a couple of bulbs at the back, she is
good to go next week. Ye Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Cheers Mark.

Hi Lads.
The Banana has passed her Norn Iron MOT and will be going
back on the road next month for another year. When i bought it
back in 2004 she was 23 years old. I nver thought it would last
so long :D . Might sell the 360. Anyone know what it might be worth?
Cheers Mark.

1k? Hard to say. (Probably worth more in parts :? ) Has the pros of early 360-ness and louvre action (for those that are into that) and cons of being a flight to Belfast and a ferry back. Which isn't that bad in reality, but some folk have a mental block with water....

What's the registration date of the 360? Might be worth hanging on a tad longer as it'll be a piece of cake to shift down here when it's 30th birthday arrives and you could probably screw a bit more on it.

21 Sept? These MOTs are getting later and later in the year?!! 340pw

How long do you have to wait between booking and appointment up there? Last test down here I book was 2½ weeks, which I was surprised at as the last one on another car was 7.
