Well kind of...

What happened was :said in Jethro voice:

We were just about to set off on Holiday (1200 miles in a week) the other week and I gave our Freelander a check over and discovered no coolant ....head gasket had gone. No problem as the car is just over a year old and under warranty, so it was booked in and transported to the dealer workshops today (after some confusion with main dealer) but won't be repaired for nearly a month!

Anyway, to cut a long story short we now have a hire car under the terms of the warranty until the freelander is repaired and the hire company called to ask whether we would like a brand new Volvo V70 T5 estate, a new Ford Mondeo or a new Ford Focus.

T5

He must have said D5 ....not T5

Still a nice car though and the S can stay SORN for another week or so.

Why SORN for a week ????

Tax will only be started on the 1st of any month

No it's already SORN (trevor that is) he's been SORN over the winter but now we have a hire car to replace the poorly Freelander we won't need to de-moth ball trevor for a few days, no point in paying for tax for March as I'll only get one day of use after having paid for a whole month, seems a waste of money

Anyway, trevor will be out to play soon

I have it on the authority of our local [politically incorrect mode] post mistress [/politically incorrect mode] that one can get an April tax disc from today.
