Why should I have to tell the DVLA about my own car - it has nothing to do with thewm until I want it on the roads... Anyway... HIghlander, I was thinking about the old Scorpios, Are they all th...

Re: Hello - new (old) SJ410

Thanks Scottie, It's now the daily driver and is my car of choice when leaving the house. So glad a decided to swap out the original seat. It's now fitted MK4 golf gti seats which don't look out of place at all and were a really easy fit as bolted directly to the floor. I am even getting used to hav...

Re: SORN - pain in the bum

They were allways alot of car for the money. - Mind you theres loads of cars like that now. Pretty much anything with an engine er 2lt is so cheap these days.

I think I need to get myself a barn... Trouble is I'd fill it in no time - especially if they scrap the sorn renewal... :)

Re: SORN - pain in the bum

Whats with the ford scorpios? - your probably artificially inflating the second hand price of them!

Where do you keep all these cars? - you got a farm or something?

Re: SORN - pain in the bum

Yeah I have had two DVLA fines now, one for the bike and one for the car. Excellent news about the new red tape cutting! Both times I didn't receive the reminder. - I just had another this year. I do tend to run very old vehicles that need work for MOT's every year and inevitably time off the road. ...
