I don't know if they actually deal with the public at Swansea Allen. I have been past there once but never been in. I think registration can be done there and then, but they might want to inspect the vehicle for age verification purposes. I'm going to the DVLA in Cardiff tomorrow to tax a car funnily enough... I spend too much time there!

I'm still in the process of re-organising those, and i'm a few episodes missing. It's still going ok anyway! Maybe it will be better if theres dramatic change, as day by day theres little difference. I had to tax my D on the weekend, but she's now covered till March next year. I remember when I fitted the tax disc this time last year! Time flies, dont it?
I'm going to see this Monty down in Shrewsbury on saturday, so thats a day out. Sunday I'll be using the D, you never know, you may be as well!

100 miles return, or 100 miles each way? LOL Don't forget 200 miles is £50!
Besides, it's not long till the nice weather is coming, so try holding out till all that nasty salt on the road is washed away.
Where was you thinking anyway mate?

Surprisingly enough, I had a refund from FedEx due to an overpayment. That's got to be a first! I'm going to keep my overseas spending to a minimum I think!

Well you may get a bit more, fuel isnt cheap nowdays. A full tank is just over 50 quid, and you can get about 230-260 out of a tank, depending on how you drive. Motorways are the most economical.

Hi Allen, when you going to Southampton mate
Must pop down to see the D in the flesh before you go. Or if you can't stop driving it, call round this way
How do you guys feel about a meet up in the south Wales area (Swansea?) some time soon. Perhaps some of the south west owners can join in. I'll start a post about it in 'events/meet ups' section soon if anyone is interested. But like you say Ben let the salty roads clear up first!
Cheers
