Potsdam - Calais - Ashford today; Ashford - Upton tomorrow, where it'll go into storage, then Birmingham - Berlin - Potsdam tomorrow evening. Don't get no respect!

Neither could the bloke at the DVLA sitting in front of a terminal do it - he sounded quite annoyed about that. I keep a UK address (though the car doesn't live there) and the insurance is quite happy about that. Annoyingly, I handed Joe all the documentation - including the V5 - when I brought the car back, so now it's in the post back to me in Germany. Neil (I note that the DVLA computer system has been considered a joke in the IT trade for years... can't think why.) Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!
