Received in post Foxy's tax reminder today despite informing them on the 6th December although DVLA warned it may take a month to get through the system. Oh well, I've just destroyed it now.

We'll have to find you another 2.  It's the best way to deal with this!

Despite much admonishment from your co members you chose to cast out that which had been in your care. That Foxy found a good new home is fortunate, for her and also for you so that you can start the path to repentance.
This tax demand is perhaps a sign for the future direction of your attention.
It is sometimes said " Third time lucky".
Maybe " Lucky" could be the name of your replacement 2 when the sun is again shining and the future is clearer.

Has happened to me a couple of times their system is so inefficient
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I wonder if it as inefficient in respect to unpaid tax?
In my youth it was said that beer bottle labels and such like sometimes served to replace the windscreen sticker at much less cost.
Today my understanding is that Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)is used to check, amongst other things, tax payment.
I also understand that this system is available in police patrol cars, at the roadside and in car parks. I know that ANPR works for sure in car parks.
I would like to think that this system will, if not already, be used to find and punish those that chose to drive without insurance, maybe add MOT to that as well.

I t does all of that and will also advise the Officer if your driving licence is still in date, as an elderly friend of mine found out to his distress when police were doing a sweep of cars in a motorway services

Love you. O:-)

A word to the wise. How many just open and shred them. File it. Scan it.

Ha yes Jane, I drive pretty carefully as you know.

I had a good 'make progress' run down from Petersfield to Goodwood several weeks back - an Audi A5 tried to lose me but failed miserably.

Im still shocked (in a good way) by how quickly the MR2 is through country lanes, I don't remember covering the ground so quickly and easily in my Boxster and def not in my Z3.

Talking of which 'Skye' hasnt been driven in a few months now so I really must get her ready for sale in the spring...lovely looking car esp in Estoril Blue but just not driver focused enough for me.


Chilli Girl

Well Mick, I'm pleased you are driving little Foxy carefully but also pushing her to how she should be driven around the twisties - it'll be a shock to her system but she'll be enjoying it with you at the helm I'm sure of it. Do you know where reverse is now? ;)  ;) Cheeky Jane ;D

That's where it's at with 2. :)
Get dusted on the straights.
But the twisties different story.

Ha Ha yes - I do still get it wrong from time to time, the challenge of being old & running a few cars at once.

First world problems :-)

Chilli Girl

You old??? That makes me ancient! :o Enjoy young Foxy! ;D
