What's road tax a month £10-£20? Bigger problems in life I say. Only on a little car Yeti is £17 a month and the Rav4 is £27.50 a month as it only takes seconds to SORN I will save the cash Well that's all dandy if the buyer wants to leave the car on your drive till the end of the month, me I wouldn't be bothered over potentially £20.

For those who like to eat freshly cooked food, enjoy some simple cooking but like to have their meals delivered to their door I can thoroughly recommend Gousto.
A meal for 2 costs about £8 which isn't cheap compared with ingredients bought at the supermarket. The convenience of having all the ingredients in the right quantities without searching the shelves in a shop (and finding some things are sold out or not stocked), and having no wasted ingredients (as a result of having to buy bigger pack than is necessary), all makes it worthwhile.
................. oh! and the meals are without exception absolutely yummy.

That's fine he can tax it if he wants doesn't cost me that way.

DVLA requires you to cancel the road tax before the buyer takes it.
The buyer has to tax it in his own name before he takes it on the road, unless he wants to pretend he is borrowing your car and he has his own insurance on another car owned by him.
It can all be done on line in a few minutes.

Are they big enough though? From time to time, when l'm feeling lazy I'll visit the Co op later on and pick up a 75% off 'ready meal'. If it says 'serves 2' it's just, and only just, enough for 1.

AKA Luxobarge - the only small disappointment with JohnV wheels is that it doesn’t have the Yamaha 4.4L V8 in it 😢🤪🙈👍

Definitely one for the garage yes! And I'm talking about 30 years ago when I first became aware of them . The vans were quite cool as well but the pickup is the best one.
I bet a Metro Turbo would have been a good one to hide away as well.
I got really into minis at one stage never had a roadworthy one but dreamed of a bored out 1380 with Spax shocks and even the possibility of fitting the unit from a Metro Turbo in a mini 1000.
My car at the time was an incredibly cool Nova 1.3SR.

All nice and comfortable. I did see quite a few of the i10 cars. Looks like an interesting little car. Only saw one other Ignis on the journey. A bit of an unusual car probably because it looks slightly annoying. Works well though. 1,000 miles since I bought it ten days ago. Oh.

Whilst some of these things (like car taxing) are admittedly easier to be able to do online at the click of a few buttons, since the tax doesn't stay with the car, buying and selling old one (which I used to do as a hobby) the punter does get screwed if a sale doesn't occur at the start of a month. The seller has it taxed and if the sale is made on 10th, THEY'VE paid up to the end of the month ) and doesn't get a refund. NOR does it transfer with the vehicle so legally, the buyer has to tax it for the whole month - including the 10 days already "gone". Sometimes, you could pick up a banger with 11 months tax on and that used to sweeten a deal. alas, that little tickle has now gone. That said, the insurance databases that link together so you don't have to faff around looking for the cert (which is now somewhere in an email I'd have lost anyway) does make things easier. I also realsised the other day, that an insurance policy I've been running for one of my dads old mini pickups (classic car insurance for circa 80quid a year) - THINKING it a good way to continue building a no claims discount, has been a waste of money. WHEN i ran quotes showing 8 years ncd verses "none" - there was only about 150 quid difference in it for me... ergo, by the end of my 2nd year of this policy, I'd have chucked a tenner away. I know ncd is valid for 2 yearas without a car but even having 1 year on and 2years off to save a bit, if futile if I don't buy another car for 10 years. Modern life does make you over think things sometimes I came to that conclusion some years ago, I used to run a car that was often one step away from the crusher alongside my Transit, when I gave up bike racing and the van I considered having a nail to keep the NCB up on the policy, looking at it objectively it just wasn’t worth it. Besides; one of the few bonuses of the sands of times ever falling through the hour glass is all things being equal car insurance is cheap enough not to get too concerned about it - quite unlike those heady days <25 years old. I well remember scouring the back of Max Power magazine trying to find a broker that would give a decent quote to a muppet that had one write off under his belt at 20 years old - you had to pick the bloody phone up as well!

Modern life does make you over think things sometimes I had 11 years NCD with a previous insurer. I recently switched to Direct Line, who said the maximum they offer was 9 years. Oh well, I thought. 'Do you want to protect your NCD' they asked. 'How much extra is it' I replied. I was told £50.00. I then asked how much more would my policy cost if I didn't have any NCD. The answer was £50.00'.
