        It's a case of highly paid IT consultant is buying a second hand ex motobility car that the state has kindly provided for 3 years to somebody who doesn't work ( and is now giving them a new one ). Apparently they can't tax it online in that scenario, I believe him because he hasn't got my money yet. It was also me who faffed about and only just sent him the insurance details.

          You said "new" car in your OP. Make your mind up. Also, why do you need a motobility car ?

          State providing a free car is a completely different thread and i can contribute to how its being exploited by spongers.

            Yep. Country is going to the dogs indeed, useless feckers everywhere.
            Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

              It's 'new' to me, you wouldnt say 'Im getting an old car tomorrow'.

              Its just a normal car, no mods, its a Zafira for the wife and kids.

                Agreed, its what permanent employment does to people.

                    It's breaking my heart spending a full 1K, I've got a perfectly good Vectra that would do the job for years yet but my Mrs is insisting she can't get 3 kids in it despite me demonstrating she can on numerous occasions.
