Thanks for the semi-pleasant memory jogging with MOT. It has been too many years since my brief time in the U.K. I needed a brief diversion from reality (bad family news yesterday). Safety inspections and emission checks depend on the state and city you live in. KS does not have any. But Pennsylvania is pretty strict on the safety inspections. Emissions inspections are more common in heavily populated areas.

Nice score! It's been a long time since I heard or used that term.

Perhaps they just wanted a custom front end but couldn't afford a body shop? Maybe they confused the other driver and actually used their turn signal?

nothing a 10 lb. sledge hammer, some baling wire and some duct tape won't fix. okay, you might need some bubble gum too.

tech gadgets. my cell provider has said no issues, but I'm not getting texts in a timely manner. Case inpoint: My youngest daughter and son both texted me on Sept 2 that my oldest daughter had passed away. The text came through somtime between Friday and yesterday. There have been enough family issues in the past and this did not help any!

AHA! those pictures show what a buddy seat is. I was totally unfamiliar with that term.

But you can't go on green anyway, someone might run their red light! I own a ex county 93 F-150 and a 93 Festiva. both easy to work on. When needed (far less frequently than anything newer I've owned) parts for the truck are easy to find, the Festiva requires knowledge of Mazdas of the same vintage.

I shall hold onto my $1000 dollar no-frills work truck forever. And the I6 engine will last forever. No gee-gaws to fail. Sure AC would be nice, but it's not necessary.

maybe gravel for fish tanks or birds. Cat litter (old school non-clumpingtypes)

And just wait for the casualties to start mounting up from hacked car electronics. Won't even go into the hidden cameras and tracking your movements and habits.

Steering wheel gets my vote. What about the door cards? Left over from a Euro/ Asian market/ custom steering wheel variant?

The universe. it was against me whatever I was trying to do all day.

I don't use a figure, but I do try to make it look feasible.

If you use the wire trick, the wire can be inserted into a block ok floral foam/ scrap Styrofoam for a holder.

It was the 1968 Daytona 500 car.
