    Well well well, today was inspection day and as expected, everything went swimmingly.
    - Rear jacking points are rotten
    - Steering rack has play
    - Front strut tops are shot

    Passed with no faults or advisories

    Among other news, the price of biogas has risen ridiculously lately and at the current pricing it's pretty much a wash to drive on gas vs petrol. Since gas-powered vehicles are subject to an extra tax, this piece of shit went from quite economical to being more expensive to drive than a regular petrol version and is now impossible to sell. Putting more work and money into this is now extra motivating as the resale value is basically in the negatives now, unless I part it out.
    Prolly going to take it off the road for the summer and just drive the MGM so I'm not paying road tax and insurance for both.
    The one fucking time I buy a car with economy in mind, I end up getting ratfucked even worse than I could have ever imagined...
