    I'm not sure if you can buy it monthly as it were. I think you can pay for it monthly by DD. Not sure how it works if I only want to take it for a few months at a time. I can't believe the DVLA will allow people to just tax a car for, say, 2 months of the year if they wanted? Anyway, she's got to go in and have the skuttle and a few bits sorted so not too worried. I never have her on the road past September anyway.

    The only thing i'm not sure about is if you have to commit to 6 months or 12 months when paying DD Surely you could tax it, pay the first 1 or 2 instalments and then cancel it?

    That's what I would do, Ben. I'm sure I read you can just tax for a month or two though.

    We used to do meet ups at the horseshoes on the a5. Not done anything for a while though. If theres enough interest we could get them going again.
    If you need anything I'm not far from Shrewsbury

Note to self: when emptying the garage fridge at the end of summer 2013, make sure you check the freezer. Cornetto anyone?

    I applied for one at Citroen and it says my application is being processed, so don't know if I will get a phone call or not!
