See the planet killing thread, you have to pay for your destructive behaviour.

why are you taxing them mid month  :-\
do you mean taxed from Jan 2023  :-\
should have left the funds in the bank till 31st for all the interest  :D

They were both due beginning of December, but simply put - I forgot ::)
Still like to see a tax disc as a simple reminder...
Trouble is, I've really got a few too many cars - keeping track of taxing / MOTs etc is a continous job.....should be more organised really.
Still, at least I hadn't got my ''last chance' reminder.....

My tax autorenewed, same as my insurance.

Why complicate things :D

It's very soothing on my achy knackered hips and lower back.  ::)   ;D
I have a nice massage function to sort out my lower back and whiplash injuries.  I alsways looked at such things as a gimmick, but I'd sure as hell miss it now ;D

Much like the heated steering wheel. For those 3 days a year you need it, its worth the £150 option when the original owner specs the car!

I do the tax on an annual DD (not monthly, as more expensive), but do like to shop around for insurance, so don't tend to have that on autorenew.

Normally I would, but it didn't go up from last year and I CBA :D

Noticed that the headlight washers on my car are frozen in the outer position, so I took her car instead. When the temperature rises a bit they'll go back in on their own. My Omega used to do the same.  ::)

I'm 70 next year, and I've heard tell that, just like when your dog gets old, the insurance increases each year you survive. ;D
