MOT Day Fail

Post by grumpybri » Sun Jun 09, 2019 10:09 pm

Sad news, the mighty Alpina Roadster S failed its MOT yesterday.
After 12 MOT’s the car has failed. What did it fail on I can hear you asking?
Nothing but worn thru’ tyres is the reply. Yep, one of the rears had 3mm left but was thru’ to the casing on the inside shoulder.
New tyres on order and major scrub in needed before national meet in a few weeks.
What a machine. :D

Always capitalise when replacement rears are due with a few enthusiastic doughnuts :thumbsup:
