Made a few changes to the car over the forum change, changed Registration to new one, fitted BBPT Powerslot Discs and Pagid Fast Road Pads front and rear, returned the car to the original 16s from 17s, feels so much faster and handles so much better now!

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN GREAT BRITAIN DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF PETROL FOR ONE DAY ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.

I basically want to sell my Private Plate and purchase another one. But what is the best way of doing this? As I understand there is an £80 transfer fee? Do I sell my current plate and then pay £80 to have the new plate (when purchased) on to the car? or is...
My 52 MK2 172 passed over 30K last night, and its a month and a half off being two years old? How are similar aged cars doing? Worried mine is getting rather high?
