Insured yesterday...

Don't forget to tax before the budget tomorrow if it's required, road tax is bound to go up I'm going to try and tax mine for the first of next month, but I'm ot sure if it's going to be feasable from a SORN on a bank holiday weekend

UPDATE - you get 5 days grace period (free road tax) prior to the month of taxation you wish it to start. Worries over, being in a police traffic car convoy with electronic tax was not going to be fun. I can now relax and enjoy. We all know how reliable the "central ANPR database" is!

VOSA online makes me purchase from 01/03/2013...

when can i buy the April tax disc?

The 5 days leading up to the end of March. I called the premium rate number for DVLA this morning to confirm and discuss with a human! If the Welsh can be classed as part of the human race
I'm going to do it in the post office on the Saturday before. If you can do it electronically, make sure that your insurance has at least 2 days to register on the central computer. Obviously this doesn't apply to you, as you have sorted yours already

i spoke to a human too (saynoto0870).

apply 5 days before month end (from 27th March). If you apply before April the police give you 5 working day grace to display. This allowance does not apply if you but the disc at the beginning of the month.

I renewed my tax last week and have my nice new red disc displayed already. Am I breaking the law? I have the old tax disc hidden behind the new one....

My nice Moon Grey will not be ready in time, so I will have to bring the scruffy Scottie. I'll tart her up best I can - I will be able to make some noise though; Barbz has done a few bits and pieces

Guys,

I'm out of this unfortunately.

Family issues the main reason.

Other reason whilst not insurmountable but definitely contributing to my non attendance is that after selling Custard, I've got a list of to do's inc oil cooler and pipes, belts and big service due on the 20vt - which because of the main reason I haven't been able to address

So, for the first time in about 4 years, I'll have to miss this excellent event, have fun all!

UPDATE - MEETING TIME AT SOUTH LODGE

10-10:15am - Monday please

Anybody else fancy joining us.........?
Go on don't be shy, come along and join in the fun. The weather on the long range weather looks like it's going to be OK

So Ross, just to recap-

Meet at South Lodge (car park?) for 10:00 am then in convoy to Park & Ride then more convoy into town?

Shame we are one short but these things happen. The weather doesn't look anything like two years ago!!!

I'll probably go directly to the Hop Oast Park and Ride as I will be coming from the north.

What time there Ross, 11:00 ish?

At best it is going to be VERY cold......

But dry

I will see if I can get a leave pass and pop along with my Sprinty. Can't promise BUT I have been desperate to do the Horsham show.

67 miles and 1 hours 28 mins from mine

Go on Charlie, make the effort if allowed I completely understand your predicament. It's a great day of coupe appreciation
Plus you get to see some amazing Italian metal close up and personal and get to hear it run too, not just static displays in this event. Everyone is really friendly too

WEATHER FORCAST
Looking good at the moment. 6 degrees C too, positively tropical!

Well I just flew a kite and got a "maybe" So will know more tomorrow, If I can, I will be there.

Good man Charlie. Hoping for a favourable wind for you

Ross,

I will be there on Monday but Fiat-less unfortunately......whilst the parts are appearing and being stashed ready in the garage, work + work + work, weather and a virus all conspired to steal all the free time....

I'll see you guys there and hopefully take some inspiration to get my arse in gear and get the wee beastie back on the road.

regards

Jon

Jon, it will be good to see you!!

Tim

Cheers Tim,

I'm looking forward to seeing all you guys again...it's been a long time!

Chris - yes, South Lodge Hotel car park for 10 -10:15 see location map for directions.
Pete - please can you come to South Lodge Hotel. It's only 10 mins further away It's not a done deal re. Hop Oast. We might just pass by. We have been requested as a club to join the convoy, it would be a shame not to have a full compliment
Jon - it'll be great to see you it's been too long

All shiny and ready to show? I've been hard at it today. All done. Just sit back and enjoy the weekend now, with kids jumping all over me hyped to the gills with chocolate!

No problem going to South Lodge Hotel Ross.

Where is best for me to meet you since I won't be allowed into the high street guys?

We'll be in the Carfax this year, close to the exit of Swan Walk (Boots end)

Linky for meeting place again:
South Lodge Hotel HERE

Fingers crossed it doesn't rain!

Supposedly dry, bright, breezy and cold BUT no rain! See you at South Lodge 10:00am.
