Did something today I never thought I'd do. I've sorned her.
I'm going to be rebuilding the suspension over the next few weeks (kids and Christmas round the corner don't leave much free time) and give her a general bit of tlc. It seemed a bit silly just to give the DVLA money when she'll be spending so much time off road so, as the tax ran out yesterday, I've sorned her.
I'll keep you informed of progressthumbup

Sounds like common sense Tim, nothing to be ashamed of. We get royaly fu*ked over as it is, no point giving the barstewards more money whilst you sort some stuff out....

Be nice if you could buy short term tax, wouldn't it?

I maybe coming back to the UK for the Christmas break, from 23/12 -5/1. If I want to take the Lotus for a spin ( and boy, I do!!!) I am expected to pay 100 pounds up front, and then wait a month for a refund which will dock me 2 full calendar months and an admin fee.

Naturally, the thought it saying ' sod ya, I'll risk it for the 3-4 drives I will take' is high, yet if I could buy a 2 weekly disc for, say, a tenner, then I would do it without fail.

Ah, good luck with the suspension Tipper - give us a shout if you need to!!
I have just sorned the Mini after it being on the road for only 6 months after the re-build. Likewise it's going to be in pieces to have some work done on the engine, so the dvla can sod off for a few months!

You should get all complete months back from the date of postage and there's no admin fee (based on experience of cashing in rent last year).
