Thanks all, its now insured. Just need to book it in for a MOT, taking a slightly longer "Italian tune up route" 

Once MOT'd, I'll get it back and then go to post office to tax it. Got to wait until paperwork comes through, they would not e-mail a certificate copy 

Quite a lot of companies will let you download and print a copy yourself,my son had to do this with Admiral or Elephant(I forget which )

Best they could offer was fax, could not be bothered to set up a PC to receive a fax. Usually they are fairly good, just quoting 7 days as worst case.

Its not being MOT'd until Wednesday anyway

Check on ASKMID.com every morning. This site uses the same system the police use with their ANPR. My insurance showed up 2 days after the purchase date. Ironically, with the same company the year before, it took 2 weeks.

If you do get pulled do not ever admit to knowing you knew a shorter/quicker route. Simply tell the officer that this is the only route you know and you will stick to it. Don't agree with him if he tells you that there was a quicker route.

Sadly, that's not possible, as I would be driving in completely the wrong direction. MOT place I use is only about a mile away

To late now but a tip for next time would be to book the MOT a few miles off you're tuneup route.

I did that once, got pulled, and got away with it. - 'I do not know of any other MOT centres. This is the only one I am familiar with on the only route I know possible.' worked like a charm

Is the Car LPGed, if so get the Car booked in at your local one, then find another MOT Tester on your Tune up trip that will do a No Cat test for LPG, get it booked in there, if stooped explain your using the LPG Tester for that reason rather than your local one, if you Dont get stooped and all goes well drive to your local one and cancel the LPG Tester.

Remember, in theory, you have 60 mins to play with each way if booked in.
