You sound a bit official, particularly with the name 'Smokie'....as in Smokey and the Bandit. Personally I always wanted Burt Reynolds to get away.

mine sailed through with a full decat. I was lucky enough that my emissions met the required standard. (it wouldnt have mattered with mine as its actually exempt though as it is a 1992 car) so its got nothing to do with who you know these days (unless there is a way around it which I haven't heard of yet)

I disagree....my car is a 95 model and DID need a cat test but as the tester is a freind of mine he managed to by-pass the test...hence 12 months MOT with full decat fitted....like i said,its who you know...

okay put it this way, my car passed the cat test, if it had failed I could have got through on a bet test, however my emissions were good enough.
I am guessing yours is an import?
