myglaren Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 My son was going to sorn his bike, hasn't used it for a year due to injuries when he came off is a few years ago. They have send him a reminder and he has to enter the 11-digit code on it to tax/sorn it online. There is no code :( Iamgroot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no code on both 2012 and 2019 V5s I have for REV, the 11 digit code is displayed in several locations so I would be a bit worried if its entirely missing from all locations on the V5 of that bike!

myglaren Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Not the V5 but the tax reminder, he thinks it will be different - related to this year's tax. I have just sailed through the process each year without taking a lot of notice, always been simple enough. Other son and new girlfriend were supposed to be here for the holiday, was out this morning and bought loads of fresh food, texted him to leave his car at the front of the house and mine is buried round the back. Text reply - "I think you have the wrong number"! - he's forever changing phones and numbers. Tried another number for him. Not coming after all, just came home from Seattle this morning and has to submit some work for his PhD. Said he had emailed me yesterday. He sent the email to all his siblings but forgot to copy me in. Been doing this for months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I was about to head off to The Wigginton pub for a classic car meet, checked up on their page to make sure it was still on the be met by a message stating that ‘as long as your car qualifies for historic vehicle tax you are welcome to attend’. Mine is 38 years old so doesn’t, so presumably I am unwelcome. Well fuck off Wigginton, I will get a pub lunch at the far superior Feathers in Lichfield, the landlord loves my car even though it isn’t quite 40 years old.

I am sure they probably let me in but nothing stinks of a ‘real classics only’ with real being the kind of boring shite that gets polished but never driven. It will be full of boring old bastards who would not like the pile of car park receipts in the centre console, or the mud under the arches. It has saved a trip, and the food is great at the Feathers. sheffcortinacentre, Ohdearme, Split_Pin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, the landlord, is a top bloke and loves his live music. I went past the Wigginton on the way, there were all of three ‘classic’ cars in the car park, so much for that one.

EssDeeWon Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Going somewhere on BH weekend. Bird im seeing invites me to a colleagues BBQ / Garden party 60 miles away in the neighbouring county "its not that far" well about 60 miles, anyway I reluctantly accepted but decided against taking the car because I don't really enjoy driving far anymore, the leisurely driving experience is always ruined by contestants for the wacky races in their Aldi's and other fast german cars, and its boiling and I don't fancy getting stuck on the M25. I decided public transport, possibly the worst decision so far in 2019. Replacement buses where there should be a train, takes 3x longer but still the same price as a train? hmmm what other industry do you still pay the same for a substandard service? Nearly FOUR hours each way. Never again on a BH weekend with poxy buses involved, not for anyone. Yes I could have driven but the roads heading this way today were jammed anyway with everyone heading to Southend, why you would bother i'll never know but either way an utter ball ache and i'm glad to be home, logged on here and watching hubnut.

Is it because the new dog bed doesn't smell like her bed? Maybe put an old blanket or a piece of any of your old clothing on it. She is probably worried that it's not her bed and she shouldn't be sleeping on it! chaseracer and xtriple 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebullet Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Decided I was going to take Kinky Girl for a walk after tea, a new idea, try and get some exercise in. She thinks I'm a silly bastard with being in the centre of Leeds. I has idea! A couple of years ago we went mooching round where they'd stuck a new office block up, and was in the process of badly building phase 2, struggling for tenants and there's a load of land reserved for future phases if they ever manage to sell the ones they've done. They put in a park for the workers with apple trees on the border fences, and a bit down the road on the edge of a car park someone had put in a small orchard. We can go scrumping! WRONG! There's now a phase 3 under construction behind the fence round the park. So of course they've torn down the original perfectly good fence with apple trees attached and replaced it with a pretty identical fence. The car park is now 50% of original size due to sticking phase 3 on it, and the orchard bit which is on the opposite side to the new building has been buried with random construction waste as prolly cheaper than getting a skip. I'm saddened. What a pointless waste. Plus I had to buy her ice cream from co-op as a conciliation prize. mercedade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angle Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I know we'd moan if they used a Peugeot 309 or something, but really? It's newer than any car I've ever owned, dealer plates and full leather and apart from a bit of lacquer peel on the back bumper looked immaculate.

Bren Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Bought a headlight restoration kit off ebay. End result? Shite. Not convinced you can sand clear plastic and expect a new finish after.
