First bit of advice would be to have some driving lessons so you can enjoy the car yourself!

astragirlie · 20-06-2007, 16:06

just wondering if anyone knows i have no tax on the vectra but i have the v5 and a fax of my insurance policy and a valid mot but the post office wont give me the tax disk till i get the original insurance document . if i was to drive the car or it was seen being driven would we get a fine or is there a like "grace" period of like 14 days for you to get the doccuments? ive sifted through the DVLA website all day trying to find out and called them twice but the people who i spoke to was more veigue than i was and just kept telling me to go to my local post office with the documents .
think i'm gonna go bash my head off a wall somewere that might help me coz im loosing the plot i think

No, not a sausage. I think they have the power to crush your car now, too.

well someone gotta show my car some love !!! the astra used to run even better if you gave it a hug b4 starting it

chip · 21-06-2007, 12:47

Tax it online, that will work fine.

astragirlie · 21-06-2007, 12:51

yer it does but we only bought the car on tuesday so the logbook is in some blokes name if you do it online the tax automatically goes to the person who is named on the V5 and i cant change the v5 yet coz it takes up to 4 weeks to be sent back so i have to tax it first hmmmm insurance thingy should be here tomorrow hopefully

astragirlie · 22-06-2007, 14:17

yes it came!!!!! so we are now legally allowed to go on the road

was a very nice feeling placing the tax disk in the windscreen ahhhhh relief

got more pics of the car last night i tried to put them on the gallery but it would only let me put the engine pic on it for someone reason

i think i broke it

one very pleased girlie
