Little Car's Too Sexy...

[byslantedlight]

... cos wheeee, she passed her MOT! I have the green version instead of the red one! Yeaaaaay! *g*

And what was it in the end? A teeny tiny piece of pipe was split and burst - I mean really teeny-tiny, the length of my fingernail. It took them less than twenty minutes to find it, and I was out in less than an hour - having paid just £27. They didn't charge me for a re-test, even though they could have according to the rules. Yeay! (Of course they were probably hoping I didn't ask them why they hadn't found the problem the other day, since they said they'd tried and tried and hadn't been able to, and checking the pipes to the sensor with the fault sounds like a fairly basic check to me...

Anyway - done! Oop north, here I come! *vbg* And to celebrate...


The lads all covered in oil working on their vehicles... *sighs happily*

And isn't it a nice day outside? Blue skies, sun shining, I walked into work again and I'm wearing my favourite dress... *g* Oh, let's have some more pretty lads, just because...


Courtesy of a post here at nellhowell's lj - lots of other fab pics, and green stripey socks... *g*


The holding hands post by our ancastar. I like our lads holding hands... just for a moment, just while there's a reason that no one else will really worry about... *g*


As said in this post by przed - too adorable for words...

You know, I guess I'm ready to start work properly now... *sighs happily*

Yeayyyyy Little Car! *g*

And doesn't the helmety one, with the grins and the casually draped arm just... *sighs happily*

and such lovely pics... *drooling all over the place*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yeay! *vbg*

And they are rather pretty pics, aren't they... *sighs happily again*

[llywela13.livejournal.com]

Hooray for Little Car pulling through, after all that sturm und drang!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It was all a bit sturm und drang wasn't it - good name for it! Five trips I had to make to a garage, for a teeny tiny hole in a pipe! Which suuuuuuurely they could have seen! But hey-ho - all done now, and hooray! *g*

[rosie55.livejournal.com]

Phew, thank goodness for that! So have a super holiday, I shall be thinking of you!
Nice pics!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

How fab is Little Car?! Stoopid technicians, all of them! I reckon before next year I'll have to get the manual out and brave the world of automatic engines... at least to be able to put my finger on a manifold pressure sensor... sort of... *g*

We'll be thinking of you too - happy days down your way!

[andreathelion.livejournal.com]

great news, so YAY for little car :D
Have fun on your holidays!

...heh, and lads for lunch *yummy* Thanks *g*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I do like the idea of lads for lunch... *vbg*

And yeay and thank you! Wheeee!

[miwahni.livejournal.com]

Such good news about Little Car! And the pics are truly delicious.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yeay! So, so glad it turned out to be something simple after all that heat and botheration! *g*

And they are rather lovely pics, aren't they...

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Yay! Good little car. All set for your holiday then?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Little Car did do well in the end - yeay! *vbg*

And ooh, I hope so! Well, not packed or organised or anything, you know, but ready - yes! *g*

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

Good job, little car!
How often does it turn out to be something *cheap* in the end? :)

And that helmet pic is precious! I've never ever seen it before!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hee - well, the first couple of hundred pounds didn't feel very cheap, but at least the final burst was!

Isn't the helmet pic gorgeous?! I'd seen variations, but przed's post was the first time I'd seen that one... *g* So adorable... *vbg*

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Yay!!!!!!

My car passed its MOT yesterday, so they can celebrate together at the weekend *g*.

And I damn well hope they didn't charge you for the re-test, considering like they should have found the problem the first time!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh yeay, they can celebrate together indeed! Bless 'em both! *g*

[loyseofverlaine.livejournal.com]

You go, little car! Very glad all that drama had a happy ending.

The helmet picture really is adorable. LC doesn't look like he's old enough to shave yet.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It was some fairly serious drama - five times I was at a garage, five times! And all for something which I bet the old-fashioned guys would have found the first time around!

They both look fairly young, don't they - and such gorgeous goofy smiles! *vbg*

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! I'm so pleased for you - no credit CARd-crash after all *g*

You deserved to triumph, especially for the way you dealt with the garages and their, ahem, shortcomings. Oh, and for posting us those bloody gorgeous mechanic pics - if only our garage mechanics looked like that! (well there is one bloke at the tyre-and-exhaust place who doesn't look too bad, but he's not in this league - as if anyone could be! *g*)

Hope you and Car have many many happy miles ahead, starting with oop North.



oi, when you have a minute, have another go at emailing me your mark-up? Ta!!!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hee - all these mechanics were bald... all of them! Dunno what it is with guys these days... *sighs*

And yeay happy miles ahead! And thank you! *g*

And - you mean you haven't got it yet?! Have you been waiting all this time? Erk... It doesn't look like any of my emails are going through to that email account - do you have another one that you could write to me from, and maybe I can try there? I've probably sent four or five lately to your normal one, and it sounds like you've not had any of them... Gaargh!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

oh bugger! no!

didn't get a single one :(((((

just pm'd you

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Ooh - stoopid pm thing - hate it to death, too many steps and I get lazy... *runs to email other address you sent*

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

got it, ta!!!!!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

*g*

[krisserci5.livejournal.com]

The pics are wonderful. What a nice morning treat.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh good - we always need more wonderful B/D pics, I reckon! *g*

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the safe repair of little car and thanks for the picturey goodness.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Ah, picture-y goodness... *g*

And yeay for Little Car - she came through in the end, though she didn't half give me a fright!

And hooray indeed Little Car, and hooooray lads with big... greasing... that is...sleeves rolled up! *vbg*

[constant-muse.livejournal.com]

Still today- nearly (curses having too much work).

Hooray for Little Car! What a huge relief (understatement!) that it is something so piffling and Inexpensive to repair!

And thanks for the lovley pics - great for tired eyes.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hooray for Little Car! And hooray for gorgeous pics of the lads too! *vbg*

Love and congratulations to Little Car!!
(And those pics were a super celebratory post!!!)

[zana16.livejournal.com]

Yay! I would have missed Little Car. I'm sorry it was so stressful, but at least it wasn't stressful and expensive.

And yay for Lads! I'd not seen some of these before...
