I'll pass on that one thanks.

A fair question I think!

I hope so too Gordon. Like you I have several classics so taxing them all for the few hundred miles they do each year will be painful.

Another cost potentially looming for classic car owners in Rachel Thieves' upcoming budget. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-15167351/Chancellor-target-classic-cars-Budget-scrapping-40-year-tax-exemption.html

No, different reg number. https://www.classicandsportscar.com/news/ford-escort-rs-1800-sets-world-record

No. Not a fan of festivals as camping is a nono for me.

What is (or was) that??

I am utterly convinced that the World Bank is going to pay me $200,000 to be arranged by you from a Gmail account. You present such a convincing case! Please have my bank details and all my security login info so that you can send me the payment...

Have a read of this article on the FBHVC's website. https://www.fbhvc.co.uk/news/article/dvla-backs-classic-car-industry-and-driving-enthusiasts-with-updated-registration-policies

We are kind of damned if we do and damned if we don't on this Colin. In the past the guys have had complaints that our club discount code has been made available to the public at large.

As a club that is free to join, we rely on the benevolence of our sponsors (and the few of our members who contribute voluntarily) for our funds to operate. Please stop by to the Abbeyfields website for your Old Skool Ford insurance quote.

Yes (re MOT) she was wise to transfer it off before it expired

Anyone free on Friday?

Yes, it does have an Octane booster

All looking pretty good with this one........until you get to the end. And there it is!

I don't use it on the Fords as they both have hardened valve seats, I use Castrol Valvemaster plus in the Alfa as a precaution though

An article that warrants a read on the FBHVC website, particularly for those of us with modified car projects on the go. Intro teaser for the article at the below link "Following an extended period of lobbying and consultation by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) culminating in the Call for Evidence to which Members responded in record numbers, the Federation can now share this Registration Policy Update from DVLA." https://www.fbhvc.co.uk/news/article/dvla-backs-classic-car-industry-and-driving-enthusiasts-with-updated-registration-policies

Unfortunately @Johnny Boy, editing the typo on here after you've posted doesn't also fix it on Facebook 😆 🤔 You can take laxatives to soften them up you know

Sorry Ray, it sounds like you have a problem there. Car has to be MOT'd to transfer a number off it. My brother has that problem with his cherished plate he had on his work van. The van is now scrap and a parts bin only. The DVLA will not budge on giving him the private plate back off it.

I will look into it. Thanks for the PM

I'm very sorry Ben, I never saw this reply. It's a bit late I know but I can still look into it for you?

Agree with this

Looks like a GPZ900R to me. The original hyper bike. I had one for about 4 years in ghe mid 90's, loved it. Keep finding my eye being drawn back to them.

Can't say I'm brave enough to give the "less of the old" response. Yes, a few of us are still around, plenty of new users too but it's a lot quieter than it was in its heyday

I think you'll probably need to reach out to them directly to get an answer on this.
