I'm sure Jon is really chuffed you have all soft spots for good old MOT, but I can't help feeling that all this is rubbing salt into already sore wounds.

That said, quick car, and by fuck JF can peddal.

All the best John, now sell the metro and by a miglia or seven, you know you love minis no matter how shit they are!

well i think i can only continue to rub salt in the JF wounds...

this car has always been an inspiration, and the way Jon used to drive MOT was great viewing

have helped out working on MOT at several of events over the years which was always a pleasure and i'm sure Jon will still have the mini spirit for some time yet!!

Well after taking on MOT at Avon last year all I can say is what a pain in the arse it was. However, when I sorted out all the little bits and bobs it was an awesome machine. a 14.5 1/4 on half throttle and all over the road, fantastic. If only the weather had stayed fair I could have got the hang of it.

Lets hope it makes a return to Avon in the future.
