Rally car = slow , muddy , covered in stickers and rides on a trailer .
That's how i spot them !!! ha ha
sigpic 2.1 ATMO YB POWER .
Tick tock goes the clock and the clock don't lie .
12.4sec to 109mph With NO turbo , NO gay trailer , NO slicks , NO gas , NO race fuel and NO bits missing . Beat that !!!! -
That memo is a load of bollox anyway . If a car is built safe and passes all the mot points then they can't fail it . Brakes are always tested on brake dyno so makes no difference if they have a servo or not . They work or they don't .

So if you have a non adjustable seat in a road car it will fail MOT .That & quite a few other factors will mean that the boy racer types will be put off the road .Originally posted by mk1gaz View PostThat memo is a load of bollox anyway .

Sounds like a good idea to me .Comment

That is the reason that they have issued that notice to make the rules clear . So the dodgy garages have no excuse for issuing MOTs when they should not .Originally posted by mk1gaz View Post
And as VOSA has to be self supporting on income now , they are almost certain to be looking for any way they can fine or take the testing licence from places that do not comply with the regulations .Comment

I put the VOSA link on Facebook as an MOT tester I get the latest updates from VOSA
With 5 year bans and heavy fines being handed out to NT's (MOT Testers) and AE's (basically MOT station owners) I can assure you that VOSA are serious about this and all the other regulations they have bought in and a whole raft of changes being introduced in 2015
VOSA are being dictated to by Europe and watch this space but the German TuV system is only a small number of years away unless we get out of Europe pronto
If you do not agree with any regulations coming into force then you have to find a sympathetic MP who will argue your case - GOOD LUCK WITH THAT !
Oh and for any armchair experts who feel their MOT tester will pass it anyway - then that is fine until such time as VOSA get involved with an unannounced audit !
Even VOSA are now Name and Shaming !

Do they mean rally cars or competition cars, what's the difference to a car for sprinting or hillclimbing that's road registered, still need some or all of the same features as a rally car.
Why don't they use RAC MSA log book as criteria for a competing/ rally car.Gone to the Dark Side but still lurking!Comment

As an MOT tester I feel VOSA dont actually know what they mean !Originally posted by ATR477V View Post
I have to attend various refresher courses and a different "opinion" is expressed by the VOSA trainer and the opinion expressed by the VOSA Examiner out in the field
But I will say only 1 thing - VOSA is always right and they protect only 1 organisation/person and that is VOSA not the MOT tester nor the MOT garage or even the vehicle presenter (you and me)
If ever anyone is involved in a VT 19 Statutory Appeal you will know what I mean !cheeRS
