Re: Drive
cheers Crosscats,
have you ever waited for a reg transfer after buying a car.
First you send off log book to get log book in your name then you receive pvt plate papers.
Then when log book returns you send it off again with money for a transfer.
Guess what? Still waiting as its only been 2 weeks
I have the plates here made up and ready to be fitted. I got a bargain I think at £100

£100 was a good deal - private sale? - DVLA don't usually sell for less than £250, although that does include fees.
No hassle, I know it takes a while - I did a few transfers 20-odd years ago.
We're about the same age so maybe you remember this:- taking the car to a 'Local Vehicle Licensing Office' (now mostly closed I think) to have the VIN inspected - which often meant parking illegally because they were in town centres with very limited parking (if any) but the staff didn't like to walk far - you had to take the risk.
Then there would still be a few weeks while the paperwork was sorted.
I remember what a revolution it was when you could do a double transfer at one inspection (when replacing one cherished plate with another) - previously it required two visits - so some things have improved - a bit.
I'm amazed the transfer fee has only recently gone up to £105 - it was £80 even in those days - quite a lot of money then!

They were my old plates and you did get a bargain as I sold them for £180 just before Christmas. I only sold them as I already had private plates. I am so glad they are back on a Crossfire, happy driving xx
