Default well that's me hooked

just got back from test drivng a beautifull sapphire blue crossfire, i was going to hold out for a srt6, but afer driving the standard model i'm left thinking do i really need one. The standard model had plenty of grunt, was very smooth and comfy plus it was a manual which i prefere. Just got to sell my car now, trouble is its on private number plates and i've just found out it takes ages to swap round with the dvla.....anyone know of any short cuts?
cheers,
Rob.

Now that all the dvla local offices have been closed you are at the mercy of Swansea if you part ex your car with the dealer you may find they will do it for you! no idea how long it takes! good luck!

What about taking the plates off, report them stolen at the Police Stn and take the Police report to the DVLA?

Rob. It doesn't take that long. I changed one a few months ago and it took a week to come back. Last one I did in June took two weeks.
Good luck with the Crossfire.

I bought a car on 25th July with private plates on and still hasn't been sorted to this day so be prepared to wait a long time.
