Just paid a friggin' fortune to tax my Audi and one Omega - £615 and £360... >:(
Nearly a grand ......ridiculous money.....takes the edge off the pleasure of driving them :-\
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.....

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.

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
