Default UK Emissions Test

Well, the Beast is running now so I had to get an MOT (Ministry of Transport) test certificate. This is required on all UK cars older than 3 years.

The Beast failed the emissions test big-time (haven't done any computer changes yet), but the tester said he was going to issue a pass certificate 'out of respect for the motor' :cheers:

Next step: to install the new FAST computer (with wideband O2!), remove the FMU and set her up properly! If I went to WOT now, I'd melt everything in sight with the current fuelling!

One step at a time, eh?
