I recon my vectra would come back with more issues if I tried to MOT it. MIssing O/S/R wheel might be the first...

I'm now the proud... er wait no... Resorted to desperate measures out of necessity, owner of a 1.3 mazda 323. Joking aside I'm kind of glad to have a lower powered car that I can build my confidence up again on.

is that the fiesta shaped one?

No. You are thinking of the 121. The 323 is its bigger brother. Its slow buts that's probably a good thing at the minute.

Hmmm, how long is it going to take me to pay off my mini dept to my parents then make enough money to finish restoring the mini, whilst on £5.15 an hour?

I should get paid. I make my boss money, as do other apprentices. :) Apprentice min wage should get scrapped IMO, in favour of the normal min wage. It's only fair.

It's not that much though is it the normal minimum wage unless your old

22 years old :(. Should be getting my MOT licence in 18 months though. :) I mainly collect, service then deliver customers cars to their home, or work, address. I obviously do other jobs such as changing tyres, and general repair work like starter motors, alternators ect. I prefer servicing to be honest, It's less of a PITA. :)

After spending a few hundred pounds on the Mini's MOT, it drives like a new car :)

Fast Ivan
what did it need?
Jun 26 2015 08:09 PM -
Corey96Williams
Everything, haha. Emmissions, exhaust leak, missing rear fog light, needed new brakes and they needed adjusting, corrosion and a list of advisories I wanted done :)
