Is that before or after he posts what nasty uncaring peeps we are in here and how he will never buy another PoS (LR) again?

Could be. Either way, we're ere to offer help and advise as we would any new member. And take the p*ss anorl. He's bought a rr so he should have a good sense of humour.

to be fair, its a lesser offence to drive with no tax vs driving while SORN

Driving with no insurance?

kermit_rr · May 4, 2021

i'm not aware that driving without tax invalidates your insurance, though I can see it may if you don't have a current MOT

Yes it does. Most policies state that car must be fully legal for insurance to be valid.

happy to stand corrected

no mention in my policy docs and no additional terms and conditions

You can book an MOT and legally drive to the garage with no tax or MOT.

However it states "reasonable distance" and half way across the country might be seen as unreasonable

Had to be in roadworthy condition though

At the point where you think "this is shady" and carry on, including driving home a banger that isn't road worthy, all involved become encompassed with the shady tag.

Good news. It did all sound a bit dodgy at first but all worked out fine, if you've got an MOT now as well there can't be that much wrong with it. Looks in good nick too.

There's still a few advisories but for £900 there's plenty left in the kitty to put it right. Bargain

That's what I was thinking, there's always bound to be a few issues on a vehicle of that age and that complexity but by and large, jobs a good'un.

That interior looks very plush and comfortable! Especially in comparison to my 90...
