VYO passed another MOT last week with one fail - the handbrake. It recorded a 9% effort rating and needed a new NSR caliper and pads to pass. No other advisories.





Took a couple of night shots to celebrate. And yes, I know the number plate bulb's gone. It was fine for the MOT.

I have a 1991 model year 460 which was the 5th one off the production line. It's LHD and was originally in Italy, then exported to Serbia where it's now registered. There are 3 others in the whole country with the old style front end

My 460 was, yeah - on the No Skool Just Cool stand. Wanted to take it up Prescott but the unique way the runs were organised prevented me from doing so.

I got three runs in the afternoon in my 343. Real shame that the sign-up was a mess...there were a lot of very grumpy people about. I turned up at about 10:20 (sign-up at 11) just to check the start time, and saw the queue...so joined it, and ended up being the last-but-one driver to get a place.

cheers

James
