Equivalent to our smog test, but with more safety checks such as seat belts, lights, tires, etc...

Do you know why the steel gates are manually opened and closed?

Lucas makes electric gate controls.

No idea...maybe all their money goes for hat feathers and mustache grooming, none left over!

I think MOT is an excellent idea. I just love when the bald tires and no window wiper blades show their ugly heads in the winter (rain) on the LA freeways.

Lucas, inventor of the intermittent wiper.

Lucas, a gentleman does not travel at night.

When BMW bought land rover, an electrical engineer looked at the wiring diagram for the new range rover and said to the Lucas tech that there was a short circuit in the design. The Lucas tech said not to worry .... He would make the wire longer.

Dang, JB. I figured you'd watch Duck Dynasty.

My new favorite quote is when Si sez "First it's pretty tires, then it's pretty guns...next thing you know, you're shavin' your beard and wearin' capri pants."

Maybe I'll catch em on NetFlix.....

Lucas, Prince of Darkness....
The English still hang people, Lucas made an electric chair, but.....
The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."
Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices
Back in the 70's, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck.

I also got my MOT (magneto-optical trap) working today. What a coincidence.

They've only been dropped once and never been fired.

The French unveiled the new tank. It has back up lights, one of those ding, ding bells doing the Marseilles and 15 reverse gears.

I need to give more information next time. mot Just more and more checks on our cars, But good for safety.Could do with doing an MOT on the banks at the moment ,I think they would fail big time.
