What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Tax in the ether.

 

I can see you're point about struggling for a witty alternative.

[Pillock]

Haven't the knob warblers selling 09/14 "OMG LAST EVER TAX DISC" on eBay not realised that the ones that expired yesterday, were issued 6 months or 12 months ago so are nowhere near "last".

[Vin]

Holy hell people are bidding the cut out and keep laser ones up to over £25. Who did I tell not to cut theirs out, was it Tayne? 

 

It was me. And they are still intact as I did as you suggested for the two tax discs I had...I copied them at work on the colour copier and put the copies in the windscreens...I even kept the envelopes they came in...

 

Can't believe that E-bay price...Cheers Conrad... :-D

[EssDeeWon]

I am guessing the latest tax disc would be expiring 08/15 if someone taxed thier car for a year in September?

 

These will end up being some stupid holy grail peices of motoring memorabilia im sure. My current car has all the old tax discs stuffed in the Service History going back about 14 years.

[xtriple]

Mine expires 8/15. I am still displaying it with pride....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And because I forgot to take it off the screen/not sure I want to as I've always seen it as proof the bloody thing is taxed and I know when it's due just by a glance.  Feels wrong somehow to not have a tax disc.....

Just taxed the Focus.

 

Wow, Worlingham Motor Co - Pa_Norbert's workplace for a few months in the late 80s. Google Streetview shows it to just be car sales now but they did do fuel (by Phoenix, 'The East Anglian Fuel Company'), sales and servicing/repairs back in the day. The company hack was a really nicely signwritten Chevanne that I used to love riding in.

[plasticvandan]

i went to the post office to tax my polo for the first time in 12 yrs on Saturday,got a proper perforated sheet too,just popped the whole lot on the dash,i predict much ebayness in 2024

[Negative Creep]

I'll just leave mine in there until I seel the car then keep it as a memento

[purplebargeken]

There you go:

 

It feels wrong 

not having a

tax disk

 

Seemed good to me. 

[purplebargeken]

Or...

 

Is it?

Or isn't it?

Hahaha

[DVee8]

If Carlsberg did tax disc's

Oh hang on

 

[STUNO]

Pardon me for being a stupid colonial, but what is happening with tax discs ?

 

OH SHIT !   Just reading the DVLA crash thread.

                    Or is it the someone is about to cock up badly thread ?

Abolished as of today. No need to display. No new ones issues.

Flew from Heathrow T2 for the first time today. One of the artistic centre pieces is this:

 

 

In case you can't tell from my rubbish pic - its a full size FX4 made from steel wire

I love Ikea though I suspect I'm in the minority... I now know my way round the one at Braehead, which is ideal 'cos the first time I went I'm pretty sure I went in to Braehead and came out the one in Newcastle.

I've lost three girlfriends in the IKEA at the Metrocentre. I take great comfort from knowing that they are at least comfortable.

Well, it makes a change from MIG wire.

Went into what's now my local branch of CeX in Wolves.

London Racer for 30p - time for some nostalgia/shite racing!

 

 

 

 

The traffic cars are B2 Passat estates, Mk3 Golfs, early Accord Aerodecks, Alfa 33s, Routemasters, Scania 113s and Merc T1/601s...

 

Can't wait to unlock the DeLorean and Rolls Silver Spirit...

[scruff]

No euro-monging in the Land Rover for me this year but a friend sent me a little piece of a hot and sunny location to bolt on. 

 

 

Should wind a few rivet frothers up. ONLY S1 80 SANTANA EVA M8

An old woman just asked 'can you help me across the road son' and went on to say 'I'm 94 you know' when I did. I thought both these things were urban myths.

You obviously haven't played the far superior Pyongyang Racer.

It's worth it just for the music.

Confuse them even more by claiming it was a special edition to celebrate the international success of the homonymous rock band. Like those 'Pink Floyd' Golf Mk.3s, only leaf sprung.

[purplebargeken]

Huge amounts of warm, happy autoshite thanks to ChinaTom for his mega-assist in getting double the amount of Toledo doors to me in sunny St. Albans. An absolute star of red giant proportions. I haz need of estate car. Anyone fancy a swap for a ............

 

Cheers Tom, hugely appreciated and if I can ever return a favour then please do not hesitate to get in touch. Nice Merc estate by the way.

I had the crap, decontented Play Station version which had fewer cars and poorer graphics. I still liked it though.

 

The sequel was dire, sadly.

cant help watching this every so often

SniffPetrol's Paris Motor Show report.

 

http://sniffpetrol.com/2014/10/02/the-2014-paris-motor-show/

 

 

 

Paris was the first public showing for the new Vauxhall Corsa which will come with a fresh range of trim names, designed to reflect the car’s classic customer base. ‘The range starts with Learner,’ confirmed a spokesman. ‘Then rises through Cretin, Moron, Simpleton and Tit.’

Years ago I kept some notes of sellers comments on Trade Me , our version of Ebay.

Somehow they came back to life and one page re-emerged. Enjoy the little bit I found ! These folks exist world wide.
