Who else is getting their Summer cars out?
Discussion
On the subject of tax, I noticed yesterday that it will be £735 on the 370Z this year. That seems like a fair bit of money for a car that doesn't have a big V8 under the bonnet, or is all that fast either. It makes me sad and angry in equal measure! I do SORN it for 6 months of the year now though, but even 6 months tax for it isn't exactly cheap either though I think.
I need to invest in a C63 Merc with the 6.2 V8 engine in it I reckon, and that would feel like I was getting a bit more for my money for sure!
Or I could go completely the other way and buy either a car with a tiny engine, or a car without an engine at all(EV). Then everyone(apart from me) would be happy then I reckon(environmentalists/vegans/tree huggers etc).

Although those conversions are pretty much worth more than the cars value though!
I'd definitely love a go in either a twin turbo one or a supercharged one for sure.

Go on then, I will post a picture as well as I like seeing everyone’s else’s cars!
Can’t decide tax it this month or next month. Like a few people have said the tax is such a rip off. But what can we do!
Nice colour! I'm waiting until April, the weather is all over the place and the roads are sCan’t decide tax it this month or next month. Like a few people have said the tax is such a rip off. But what can we do!
tty still. Not giving any more of my money to the thieving gits than absolutely necessary.
We acquired my FIL’s MX5 (natch) last November. It’s a third car though has been used a few times out of necessity and general desire.
It lives outside and has suffered heavy condensation when timer have had snow and freezing weather - will live in the garage next winter.
While it’s only done 40k miles in the last 14 years, I’m a believer in cars being used. It’s not a remarkable model so it’s there to enjoy. Am sure Mrs OMITN will get plenty of use out of it this summer.
My FIL appears to have washed it with a scouring pad and the paint is peeling off the wheels (slow puncture). So I’m thinking of treating it to a proper detailing and having the wheels re-sprayed.

Since moving to London (don’t do it) I had to leave my summer car behind and put it in storage at a lock up over 100 miles away. Checked on it last Xmas and it started first time. Hoping to move out of London because it’s a sthole here and not worth it. That would mean being able to actually use my summer car again.

A lack of research there thole here and not worth it. That would mean being able to actually use my summer car again.

I parked up mine in early January, and it's booked in for some fettling next month, which I fully expect to be a galaxy of pain. But, it'll be tax and MOT exempt from April, and next time I'm back in the country in May it'll hopefully be purring like a kitten.
Is that photoshop skills, or does your number plate really end XXX? That's very cool!
