SORNing your cars
Re: SORNing your cars
If you are allowed to exercise a dog, you should be allowed to exercise your car. (I speak as a non dog owning car fan, of course).
Re: SORNing your cars
SORN the Civic seeing as MOT runs out in two weeks and I cba with the inevitable rush to get MOTs sorted once/if the lockdown is lifted. It'll save me £27/mth in the interim.
Won't bother with the bikes as the minute this confinement is lifted I'm going out on all of them, as much as I can manage.

Re: SORNing your cars
We’re just going to alternate the two cars, as has already been stated the cost of brakes etc outweighs the cost of tax, but we will enjoy getting out and about. Very slim chance but both our parents live in opposite directions so we may need to visit them separately, one set is already self isolating and we’re sorting food out for them.
On the plus side knowing that our cars are off the road and not needed daily I’ve started doing some jobs on them in the lighter evenings.

Wife is using ours to commute into central London. Cheaper for her to drive in now that congestion and parking charges are suspended.

We've had about three weeks of mostly sunny weather here now, in Suffolk.
I'm convinced once the confinement is lifted, the weather is going to turn to utter shit again

Re: SORNing your cars
Bloody weather, I'm losing my mind here. The minute they lift this thing even a little, I'm heading for the hills.

All of you that have cars that will seize up and explode after a month of inactivity are fucking hilarious btw. Sometimes my Transit will sit on the drive for 3 months doing nothing, then I'll jump in and drive it to Exeter and back without an issue.
Ergo, get yourselves a 19 year old Tranny

Did it self identify as a Tranny or has it always been a Ford van from birth?Gwaredd wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:42 pm All of you that have cars that will seize up and explode after a month of inactivity are fucking hilarious btw.

Re: SORNing your cars
I sorned my van a few days ago. I only really use it for going MTBing, and I'm not going to be doing much of that (short of riding from the door) for the forseeable...
Like some others here, my income has dropped to essentially zero for the time being.

Why do they still insist on cheques for refunds? Haven’t paid one in for years.

What he said. But Halifax/BoS has £1000 limit on paying in cheques via the app.

Yep, the Defender and TT will be sorned. I’m annoyed I didn’t do it by the end of March so will do it in a couple of weeks and put them to bed for a long lay off with a bit of prep.

Obviously no. It was more of a general comment on the limit some banking apps will allow you to pay in.

Blimey - where have you been?
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

I used to find that when I was bored or procrastinating my hands would (completely on autopilot) hit F6 and then c and then enter. That selected my address bar, did all I needed for "community.evo.co.uk/forums" or whatever to autocomplete, and took me there. Often I'd find myself on evo without even really knowing that I'd done it.
As soon as we switched to ov9, that didn't work, and I just... stopped.
Yesterday I wondered what chat about cv there might be here. Came along, saw an 81 page thread and thought "fuck that", and posted something of utterly no consequence or interest in this one instead
