Son no. 2's Peugeot Tepee went in for it's MOT yesterday, failing on:
- A CV boot and ...
- not enough air in one tyre.
That'll do given it's had a really hard life. It's 16 years old, done 170000 miles, ragged by an elderly lady for 85000 of those who then wedged it into a supermarket car park barrier, bought by me and used as a long-distance bike carrier to races plus race support for another 78000, then son no. 2's got it to drive round in from the age of 17 a couple of years ago*. Given he drives like Miss Daisy it's probably had a nice driver for the first time ever.
* note - it's group 2 of 50 insurance, 1.6 petrol but only 89hp new so probably about 60hp now, and can take bikes inside easily. Or a mattress. Or anything else that needs transporting. No street cred so it's unlikely to get stolen (who steals Postman Pat's van?) and is driven by mostly careful elderly drivers rather than teenagers. He pays £650 for full comprehensive insurance, with his 2 years NCB fully protected. But ... put five teenagers in and it'll struggle to go up a hill.
