Banana has failed her MOT...............
.............................. lower n/s ball joint and all her brake pipes. No surprise on the brake pipes as they have been advisories for a couple of years now. And whilst she is in having everything fixed she will also undergo a full service. After all she is a very special car to me and she deserves a wee bit of TLC, and before she goes into the body shop next month.
Moorland Auto Solutions have her. They have worked on all 3 of mine. They are also American car specialists, so the Bear is well looked after. In there workshop is a Facel Vega. Now there is a rare car.

Nothing out of the ordinary for a car of her years Bob. A few years ago I was in St Vaast near Cherbourg and came across a Facel Vega. Mentioned just how rare a car it was, then we went round the corner and there were a dozen or so parked up. Turns out the Facel Vega Owners Club were in town for a meet. |

Seems she put up a fight...................
................................. but she is now home. But at least I know that the brake pipes will outlast me. And she has only covered less than 6,000 miles since her last MOT.
Love this car.

Well done
Well done Banana! Another 12 months motoring to look forward to. That must be the least Banana has done in 12 months recently given your well documented wanderings!
As you say, a special car Chris |
