    Finding a decent MOT station is a rare and beautiful thing.
    So many of them these days have completely lost sight of the original purpose of the MOT ie. to ensure a vehicle is safe to drive on the roads and instead treat it as an excuse to find the most nitpicky pettifogging reasons to find something wrong.
    A vehicle isn't "unroadworthy" just because it's got a dirty numberplate. Although it may be "unspeedcameraworthy"

    A man finishes his truck and it's all lighty, lighty. I personally would have liked LED headlights in it as the LED's make Halogen's look like glow worms. Anyway, the Capri is coming along nicely and the VW camper is lovely and at around £17,000 would be ideal for most people, I prefer the BIG VW camper/dampervan that hopefully you and Fudge will finish soon.😁👍👍

    I drove them all from new back in the day 310 312 316 2.7 and LT 35 2.5 medium and long wheelbases when i was working for a transport company in holland. I made a lot off miles in those vans. Now i own a LT46 2.5 myself wich i convert in to a campervan and simply love that van. But the mk1 Sprinter with the mighty 2.9 is for me the one.
    Such great memories loved every mile with those vans and still miss them. Love your channel and also very informative you have so much knowledge about those vans. Both Sprinters and LT.s great great channel you have. Greetings from a big fan 👍

    Good Morning Al. I Hope that Fudgy is alright and feeling Positive. Life can have it's ups and downs. He does have Yourself as his Support and a very Good Friend Al. It really so Incredible to see the Progress with your Amasing Projects. 6Diesels just gets so much Better Quality and with it's video's. Each vehicle does it's own Character and is given a second chance, to be Restored and to be put back on the road again. Excellent work you have done Al, with the green Recovery Vehicle. I really like it's brand new Lights that you have Installed Professionally. She did Well passing her M.O.T. What a Beautiful example a Camper Van/ Mini Bus. Stunning Interiour, Bodywork colour is really Lovely. Her Engine sounds really Good. She would make a Good Holiday Touring Vehicle, for her new owner. That is a Good price to sell her for. She will not have a problem, finding a Buyer for her. Daisy Belle is Absolutely Stunning and Gorgeous. Fudgy, is doing Extremely Well with his Rare Capri Project, it will look absolutely Stunning. Very Well Done to him and his Superb Restoration Skill and Quality. Thank you very much Al. Give my Regards to Fudgy when you see him. Tell him from me, Things will get Better and please do Not worry. You are doing Great my Friend. Thank you very much Al for Sharing your Excellent video. Big Respect to You and Fudgy. Jonathan.
