… the other day about the incident at Barrat Ford in Montlucon and my enormous estimate for repairs to prepare Caliburn for the controle technique<\/em>?<\/p>\n

So I duly took Caliburn along to St Gervais for his controle technique<\/em> this morning, and guess what?<\/p>\n

Yes, well done that man. Caliburn passed his controle technique with just a comment about the left-hand rear brake.<\/p>\n

The two bald tyres on the rear, according to Barrat (\u20ac200 plus TVA plus fitting), have 3.5mm of tread according to the MoT examiner.<\/p>\n

The bodywork that is rusted through, according to Barrat, is good for another 10 years, according to the MoT examiner<\/p>\n

The knocking from the front end, that is the steering rack about to fall apart and needs replacing according to Barrat (\u20ac564 + TVA + fitting) is a worn bush on the anti-roll bar (cost \u20ac2:50) according to the MoT examiner. <\/p>\n

You can draw your own conclusions from all of this. But anyway, I’ve booked Caliburn in to another garage on Friday for a final check, just so I can have yet another opinion.<\/p>\n

With all that was going on, I was wide awake by 06:00 and up and about long before the alarm went off. After a good wash I was on my way and was early at the controle technique<\/em>. <\/p>\n

I had time for a coffee with Liz too. She had come up to St Gervais to run some errands and so we met up. And then I went off for some shopping.<\/p>\n

I spoke to Terry too. We’ve agreed to go on Friday afternoon to tax his new van, and on Monday morning to go and register it. <\/p>\n

I’m going to be busy these next few days then.<\/p>\n
