Seasonal Get Fit Syndrome

Has anybody else noticed that at this time of the year there are lots of offers to help you get yourself fit for the Summer?

The same thing happens after Christmas - although strangely enough the offers are not so forthcoming after Easter!

A thought struck me this morning that people actually take more care of their cars than they do of their body 

We think nothing of ramming our faces full of take aways, chocolate and litres of booze - however we accidently fill our cars with petrol instead of diesel and it's the end of the world!

Imagine if we had to pass an MOT with our body each year - how many people would be destined for the scrap yard!

I for one know that I have trouble with exhaust emissions and my timing is a little out now that I have got a bit older

What would you fail your MOT on?

    Don't worry phillippa I can touch you up when your paint work starts to let you down!
    I have a few teeth missing in my gear box and I am a bit slow to pull these days but I have still got plenty of grunt when it comes to climbing hills.
    You can't beat a vintage Rover!

    I think my chassis is on the way out and my rear bumper seems to be dragging a little more than it used to.
    My front suspension has been lowered, but i think it will probably still pass the MOT.
    My lights and indicators are a little dim, but I think they've always been that way!
    I have been told that my tappits are a little noisey, but I do still have quite a reasonable paint job.

    If I was a car I think I would be one of those modern electronic ones where everything is run by computers. I'm not easy to fix, lots of little things are going wrong and my memory is full!
