Simonsays Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'm dropping off the Ford Streetkak this morning and moving on to collect some new shite. My bag is packed... A roll of gaffer tape, small tin of WD40 and a 2 litre bottle of water for either automotive usage or human consumption. Cleared my wallet of crap and made sure Mr RAC is front and centre. oldcars, Junkman, stephen01 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonsays Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Fuk me! Imagine going to the bank?? Like properly like! !You there yet??The banking fiasco means I have a bit of time to kill. It's not a long distance collection so I'm going to call in to work and sort a few things out before continuing with car capers. I'll be playing fuel warning light roulette later on this morning. cpjitservices, Junkman and eddyramrod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I thought everyone kept an emergency £400 in the house in case they needed to buy a car real quick. Be prepared for the worst.As the old saying probably goes. davehedgehog31, Paul Dupart, Junkman and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaefft Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 The cash withdrawal limits are killing me every time. Fortunately the seller of the Celsior trusted me enough to give him the rest in an envelope on the next day, slipped underneath the door of his brother's back alley repair shop, totally not looking like a money exchange for substances less legal than 1.7 tons of Japanese bliss.

When purchasing a vehicle recently I dicovered my local branch (9 miles away) had shut for a re-fit. Which meant I had to travel a further 15 miles to find a branch!!

Jim Bell Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 This day just keeps giving..... Now I get to visit the Post office as well as the bank. OOOOO!!!I know this one! You have to do a change of keeper, then wait for the new V5, THEN do a change of class, then get another V5? At least I did last time this happened. The car was sorned as well, which meant I couldnt tax it in the intervening period. Which was nice.At least if its showing as taxed you'll be safe leaving it on the street.

Simonsays Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 "we'll give it a valet before you collect it" The interior plastics have been liberally sprayed with some glossy, sticky evil smelling poundshop gloop. My hands are sticking to the fucking steering wheel. Fairy liquid and water would have done a better job. Still..... At least I'm on the road and heading for the post office. Car is running well enough. Which is a good thing. This was meant to be in the bag and on my drive about two hours ago. Slartibartfast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Last time (only time) I bought a car registered disabled I had to rush to a post office in Swindon at 1645. Hadn't ever been there before. Even tackled the 'formidable' roundabout whilst in a blind rush. Fun and games right? Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
