True, but you can still 'liberate' the tyres and stereo and siphon off the fuel?

In the UK, cars over a certain age have to have a regular exam to check their roadworthiness. It's called an MOT test. But a lot of people just refer to it as an MOT; "I'm getting my MOT done".

MOT stands for Ministry of Transport, so they're really saying "I'm getting my Ministry of Transport done" - i.e. gobblydigook.
