I don't think the brown envelope could have been big enough or full enough for Mr. B. Astard Darwin....  noooo:

Bizarrely, I pulled into the MoT station and they were testing a 1973 white mini in front of me!

Mr. B. Astard failed that one too....  noooo:

The emissions test wasn't even introduced until 1980 - 4½% CO if I understand it correctly...

... yet he failed my 1973 Mini on 4.4% CO....  noooo:

@ Nick - fuck you and your owld Sierra!  Finger:
