The Eighth MOT - no worries!
So, she passes her eighth MOT (as expected of course) without a single issue, again. Never had a fail or even an advisory in all the time I have had the car. Brilliant!
She is also the only car I have owned, and there have been a few,
that has attracted all the mechanics in the garage (not Honda) to her side whenever she puts in an appearance, much to the chagrin of the service manager, but who also has a good look round her once he has chased the others back to their work. 
I have known the MOT inspector for years, and he is as thorough as they come, so if he passes the car its a good un and he never fails to praise her and me for how I maintain her, which is nice. She is now 10 years old, my daily drive and 111K on the clock and she can still turns heads wherever we go. Here's to the next year.

I bet mine won't be the same story come April next year!

Mine has only failed on brake pipes slightly older, similar mileage.
And I put my first bulb (brake light) in in eleven years last week too. Whereas the ATR eats bulbs every year
