hello,

just moved to the westcountry for a while and looking for a sympathetic MOT tester in the Truro/Penryn/Falmouth area for the westy. Any recommendations? I will travel further so really anywhere in Cornwall basically!

Also, if anyone is up for a meet/blat/pint in the area let me know.

Cheers.

Linky for details...

Welcome to Cornwall home to some of the best coastal driving and of course the worst summer rain ive seen in years!  :bangshead:

With regards to Garages and MOT's i suggest you tip your hat to Matt Seabrook, though he will probably jump on this thread anyway.

Cheers  :t-up:  , looking fwd to some sunny coastal blats. If the rain EVER stops that is  :down:

I'll hang on to see if Matt posts otherwise i'll try the Bodmin garage.

I did contact Matt b4 to ask about any local meets. Think he said there's something in the pipeline.

probably old ground but:

Has anyone ever managed an airfield day or similar down here?

Welcome Jam     :)

Matt doesn't do Mot's,       I take mine to Hillside Garage Little Polgooth  just outside St Austell,   Andy who works there is a fellow westy owner.  

No Track days down this way I'm afraid, your only way to get on track down here is to do St Eval sprint near Newquay or Castle hillclimb at lostwithiel.

Hope to Catch up for a blat soon if the liquid sinshine ever desists :D

Just to clarify, Matt doesn't do MOTs on the premises but he does them for you via an arrangement with an MOT tester that is approx 50metres away from him and they know Westys too...

And besides it's worth a visit just to meet Buttercup. The teas not bad either...

Thanks for that Doug remind me of this next time you need a favour. Like modifying and rebuilding an engine.

Ouch - now, now you two.

Welcome Jam.  Hopefully we'll get some nice weather down here soon.  

Meanwhile Matt, keep me in the loop about a run out.  I'm just under the radar a bit at the moment not completely off the map - nasty big fat exams on September 1st!

See y'all soon

Woops,Sorry Didn't explain it very well, tis what comes of trying to post while working at the same time, :blush:

I mentioned Hillside for MOT's cos they are Westy friendly and a reasonably convenient from Falmouth. But for everything else to do with keeping a scruffy battered looking green westy flying I go and hassle Matt  (check out his x/flow to Zetec conversions :D)
