obalanga 0 Posted January 2, 2016 I eventually got the car today. SORN the bike for the moment. After my birthday, my insurance costs dropped from around £2300 to about £1600. I dithered abit as I wanted every last day of my bike insurance used up (23rd dec). Purchased the car today and ofcourse the premiums had gone up by £200 pound. Well, all being ok the only way is down... oh and they have to fit that little spy box to keep tabs on me. Anyway, jumped on train to go pick the car up and infront and to the left of me were 2 little boys about 10 years old, watching porn on a smart phone. So engrossed were they that I stood behind them trying to video them then chide them but I could not get my phone to work. They were not even trying to hide it... i mean you and I would atleast go to the toilet but not these little so and sos. Any way, taxed the car but was informed the tax started yesterday. I thought the new tax rules start on the day of purchase. Thieving buggers.But I'm sure it's all gonna get better now, with it being new year and all.Happy New Year to one and all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obalanga 0 Posted January 3, 2016 I got a 1.4 fiesta zetec diesel. Won't be getting anywhere fast. In the summer I will revert to the bike just to keep the mileage down. Funny, when I was driving home from dealers, I thought to my self 'that's the end of 90m.p.h. (safe ones) rides'. Just then I spotted a parked police car. The well hidden type.
