How do you cash in your road tax these days? Had a quick look on government website and it tells you how to transfer it etc. I'm picking up a new bus on Monday that's taxed for a year obviously and the car I'm chopping in has six months left and as it was nearly £500 a year I kinda want it back!

Not sure if it's quite the same but I just declared my SORN last week, all online didn't have to do anything else and my cheque appeared in the post today actually. £111 back

I'm going for a pikey/drug dealer/sheep shagger look.
Or to put it another way a Isuzu D-max Blade in black with a canopy and a few extras.

Yeah just a bit to be fair I truly love the barge but it's getting on a bit now odd bits and bobs are starting to go wrong and having averaged a set of alloys each year due to the pot holed tat they call roads around here.
Be strange going from a 160mph missile to a tractor that'll skip off into the hedge given half a chance, will take a bit of getting use to..

I live in the sticks, it floods, potholes, farm tracks. Plus don't really do much with cars anymore but go all over on mountain bikes and shit like that. Isuzu is great value, pretty new. Hilux are united utilities pick up of choice the Nissan, and Mitsubishi are old now and I can't afford the VW scene tax lol..

For me the dmax is the newest out of them all and has best fuel, towing capacity, load capacity, 125,000/5 year warranty. Plus the dealer I'm buying from has given me a deal none of the others could come remotely close to. As in thousands of pounds worth.
