Ahh, the penny drops, now I recognise your sig pic firehawk66, good to see ya on here!!
I'm on there as 01TAWS666, yes, good site for contacts and local info etc...

2002TAWS6Pontiac, I see you have a Cobra, I'm sure the MOT testers on POC UK will turn their blind eye to any problems for your MOT

Edit: I think I recognise USAF LS1 from POC UK too!!

Alconbury is about 1 hour drive from Croughton.
You'd be better off going to Colchester for a friendly MOT tester

Hey, hey. I should be there in July. My cars will later meet me there 30-45 days after my arrival I guess.

I'm eager to meet up w/ local fbodies soon after I get settled in and such.

Hook me up w/ the friendly MOT inspectors fellas when the car gets there.
