Drago's annual M.O.T. sweepstake

[Bonefish Blues]

Im probably going to go for Michelin CrossClimates, although Hankook Quatracs have had some decent reviews and chime in relativrly inexpensive.

You're confusing Hankooks with Vreds there.

Wotcha want are the Hankooks here: https://www.blackcircles.com/tyres/...3-T_QUMLDjrC-peUBVubtdpRAaDyafdQaAjyvEALw_wcB

They are going really well on the XC70

Check out Uniroyal Rainsport 5s if you want a keenly priced winter tyre option.

It's good in the rain, but not a Winter tyre though (I run them on the S60)

If I'm not too late my guess is:-
a pass, but with an advisory that the tyres were coming to the end of their lives.
But only if you wear Daisy Duke hot pants

Im more confused than Joe Biden after a bottle of port. I did indeed mean the Hankooks.

Mine passed too, advisory on a cracked glass in the nearside mirror which I'll ignore and another on a rear tyre which was replaced.

Relief all round.

Advisory - sell the heap of junk

Handbrake in the dash was quirky.

That reminds me of our Citroen GS, new in 1973. It had the handbrake in the dash back then!

Not sure who had the bottle of port in that sentence.

You or TLOTFW? 😁

Aye, as for handbrakes being contentious i used to work for a SAAB main dealer and they had a strange handbrake. not only was it on the front wheels but once it was properly set (with a 15 thou feeler gauge) the correct travel on the lever was 6 'clicks'. No end of MOT stations used to fail them on 'excessive lever travel' despite them being perfectly adjusted.
Another one was my ex's Peugeot 205, they put it on the machine and say "the handbrake isn't working" despite the fact that the rear wheels were locked solid but because the back end was so light the rollers were still turning and unable to take a reading.

I hope you have ironed the tartan rug on the back seat, re-aligned the packet of tissues on the back window and replenished the tin of Wurther's Originals and packet of Player's.

Youre very close, but instead of Pervers Originals theres a tin of travel sweets dusted with icing sugar.

Old folks sweets then ?

Top tip
it is less messy to dust the sweets with the sugar rather than the tin

Hope this helps

Yep, the ones you have to suck or else risk breaking your dentures.
