Great car.
I’d have chanced the fine myself.

I wouldn’t trust them fuckers in the NCT. Handy ring the old bill and tell them Aengus had pissed off in an unroadworthy Lexus and he’s toast.
The coup de gras would have been Fagan thundering past in the Golf with the finger out the window….Have that you pompous cunt *
- Would Fagan derive pleasure from it? Beats “not a spot” into a hoop.

What are we talkin, Boxty, is she peturl or diesel?
Tis’ a 142 Insignia diesel. Dare I say, running like a Swiss watch but doubtless the hoors will find something. Four new tyres since last visit.
I think I switched wheels with a mate of mine the last time to get her through but that’s all behind us now……

Tyre swapping 
No doubt a tremendous sense of sticking it to the man driving away that day 
Wouldn’t be a fan of the insignia, how’d you rate her?
Would she need the drop of dipitane going into the tesht?
Wonderful
I have 3/4 of a bottle of it here from previous battles of wills but for some reason I’m bullishly confident going into tomorrows clash. And clash it is - those fuckers are on bonus payments to extort the max out of the hard-pressed motorist. It’s incumbent on us to slide by without wasting money on retests etc…. I’ll run the shite, smoke and carbon out of her en route…
Edit…I like the Insignia, it’s a UK jobby, excellently maintained with plenty of jazzy stuff and a solid comfortable drive.

I’ve a 14 year old astra that has taken some punishment. It’s worthless to sell so I’ll drive the fucker into the ground. A great servant. Owes me nothing.

Send her in hot anyway!
It’s always a battle of wills, I enjoy the reactions of lads who didn’t prepare and subsequently failed… the hair would be standing up down their backs like a Seán Ruséil with the imposition of having to hear him out about a bushing…
You’d be revved up for him 
“Gooo on boy!”
I just fire it in and fix whatever at this stage. I’d check the light bulbs and that’s it pretty much. You’d be an awful mug trying to fix problems before hand. They’ll find something.

Defeatist. The few checks you’d do beforehand would give you an almighty sense of entitlement when approaching the counter afterwards.
If you fix the obvious ones they’ll find something expensive
I haven’t bothered checking anything for years in advance. I’d say I’ve about a 75% pass rate.
No point worrying about things like that
