Be honest V8 Bob. Did you do a couple of laps around the block, and a couple of turns around the MOT test centre forecourt, until you hit the perfect 22,000

LOF POWERspring fitted - I put off the job for ages due to both the cold and how much of a pig others have found the job. In the end i found it really simple and only took 15 - 20 mins so I have added plenty of photos to the associated thread:

Just think of all the tax on all that petrol. Chancellor must be a happy bunny every time I start the engine. It is not a Defender, it is a One_Ten

Fitted a new swivel for the MOT. Great job, really satisfying. Now off to down a pint of EP90 to celebrate.

Finally appeased my wife and fitted a fridge where the cubby was. She did have a point about all my tools, empty cans, ferrets etc. wasting space in the middle.
Finished it yesterday and today she said "Great! Whilst it's cold, we can take the fridge out and I can keep my wool in there on long trips"

She took up crocheting last year and takes it in a bag everywhere she goes - including in the landy, even on short journeys... There's bloody wool everywhere in the house! She's only 50 but I can see the future looming (or rather knitting)

Took my Puma for MOT at the local UBICO depot because they had a same day appointment and rain wasn't forecast
Passed with no advisories and the receptionist, MOT'er and his boss loved it and took pics including underneath 
Need to take it out more this Summer and will do, as ridiculously it only did 372 miles since the last MOT 
Mostly use the 200tdi Rob

Only 372 miles in a year!! I really dont wish to sound rude so please forgive me, why own one if if you aren’t going to drive it? That’s just over a mile a day!!! Surely it can’t be good to do such low mileage, flat spots on tyres, diesel decomposition (if that’s the correct term) oils breaking down / deteriorating, but above all all the pleasure you are missing out on 2015 HT XS 90
