you can pick it up on the way through if you want.
It's lying round the back of my old house.

you're in Mac's neck of the woods aren't you Stephen?

If its been in the outside, will it still be ok for emissions?

Cheers for your help

Was a couple of months late with my Tax and went in to the DVLA to get it and paid £30 "fine" that would stand me well should I be caught on puter.

Also got my MOT done in March... I believe my emissions match that of a Ford Ka .....

I keep putting off my MOT due to the work needing done, ie windscreen, headlights, wing mirror, but really must get it done, as it would be silly to spoil a clean record.

So, next dilemma....

Anyone recommend a Liz friendly MOT centre near West Weedge / Loch Lomond?

PITA

Had another thought last night actually... could we have a calander online, where peeps could record the dates MoT and tax is due, and we'd get a wee alarm 2 weeks before? Either that or your posts would flicker red so others could remind you if you weren't online?

Another query...

is a lack of front plate a MoT fail?

Don't think it should be, as technically speaking its a test of roadworthiness....
