thanks

At a guess that might be a booster aerial for using a phone in the car - they were around a few years ago.

As Cappos says its a phone kit Ariel.

Strange place to put a tax disk anyway when there is a built in holder behind the rear view mirror crazy

It is hard to understand how a cemetery can raise burial rates and blame it on the cost of living

As you can see there is a spring clip which holds the tax disk plate
here and

Much better solution than other tax disk holders and keeps the screen uncluttered.

Isn't there, at this point, always the discussion abotu whether that is a legal position to put your tax?

The tax disk has to be on the drivers side front window and not obsure view of the road. It fits that perfectly laugh

In fact to quote the government own guidelines
"You must display this disc on the left-hand side of the vehicle's windscreen.

So it is legal laugh
