Phoned VOSA today. Apparently they processed my form and sent it to the test centre (Leighton Buzzard) two days ago.
They checked with the test centre and they got it this morning, and should be phoning me shortly with a test date

Well it's good you got your test date at last...
So what stress level would you compare it to when the time comes do you think?

Getting married.
Having children.
Moving house.
Anyways good luck and I guess you will be the first MX5 roadster on the road with any luck.

The quotes so far have been surprisingly reasonable:

Adrian Flux - £186
2gether - £185 for parts only, £202 including labour
Graham Sykes - £220
Frank Pickles quoted £108 for parts only, but sadly don't insure on the chassis number any more.

I'm pretty happy with that considering the renewal for my tin top just came through at £480! (although after a brief discussion they managed to knock it down to £280 ).
