Today’s shit show. Order car cleaning stuff so I can clean car before MOT. Go to euro car parts to pick up order, takes guy 20 minutes and several attempts to pick my order. Order incomplete so he amends my invoice saying one item is to be collected tomorrow. I double check my order at the car, and he’s amended the wrong bit on the invoice, get back in the queue to get it sorted. Takes another 20 minutes at least as I get stuck behind two complicated customers. Right, no time to wash car myself, so pay a fiver* to get the cheapest handwash, and hightail it to MOT centre. Arrive 2 minutes past 1pm, to be told that I’ve missed my slot and to come back tomorrow (test centre is an hours drive from home). This is kinda fair and definitely my own fault. Ring a friend and get recommended another garage 20 mins away. They can fit me in if I can leave the car for a couple hours. Great. Take car there and proceed to walk around tiny village for 3.5 hours hoping that the car makes it through first go. Hurrah, success.
/csb I know. Anyone in Leeds want to buy a sweet MK IV Astra with 134k on the clock. 12 months MOT ;-)
*I'm genuinely worried about the workers if a wash costs that little.
