John et al,

My car has already been repaired where the rear shock absorbers meet the body and I have spent quite a bit of time working underneath it at the back and never spotted rust of any consequence, so I'm a bit surprised at the reason for the roadworthy rejection, especially since it hasn't been on the road for 9 years. I guess there must have been some rust festering away unseen in that time.

After all this time and the amount I have spent on it, it's really quite depressing news.

I was hoping to drive the car out of where it is now, which is on the other side of town from me, but I think it's going to have to come back on a truck so I can get these things dealt with locally. I'm sick and tired of driving for an hour every time I need to see the car.

Regards,
Kevin
