A routemaster bus perchance ? or a scammel explorer. I suppose either of
those would be a bit difficult to get on your average MOT stations ramp.
I am not too worried about my pride and joy getting through MOT. I expect I
will eventually have to replace the middle pipe on the exhaust as it is held
together with a piece of tin can, but I have been assured I need not worry
about the emmissions too much if I get it done where I bought it from.
As for the holes, I will have to get working with the filler, like the
previos owner just to make sure
at the moment I am using tin cans again
prior to sticking some more substantial aluminium bits inside the footwells
to hold all together.
