  1. I've been trying to get Boots to do it but he won't have it at the minute I think I'm wearing him down like most of my victims in dimly lit parks ;) but at the minute I'm doing most things myself and only have limited control on the forum and no control on what is put on facebook. But looking at another club that just use facebook I think it needs to be used more :)
  2. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C
  3. Just emailing Steve about it all now :D inc flags and everything thing else I have said I would do :D Well put it this way I never knew I had so many hot girls in my area that want s*x with me
  4. I've had many graphics on mine throughout the years 2 styles of the WRC ones I don't mind them I think other than the Evos about the only two cars that can get away with them even if some of the fellow subaru owners don't like them, mind you did see a nice focus with them looked smart. Done like Colin McRaes. I really like the the Robert Kubica design at the minute. IF! maybe when :D I get a hawkeye I might look at it but with my initials
  5. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C I'd agree with the other comments for the steering wheel. :)
  6. As said above I think maybe using fakebook to advertise might be the way forward as much as I hate to say that :( seems to be killing the internet that god forsaken site
  7. Just say you're are coming for now keep an eye on this post. Once we have the full 10 I will keep the sign ups going until we book it and sort the payment thing with Steve as soon as we have the 10 think we only need one more :D
  8. How inconsiderate, should have had better future planning ;)
  9. Not allowed to call it "road tax" anymore they did away with that I think it was as far back in the 80's without telling anyone it was changed to just car tax. So not to offend any cyclists when they are blocking the roads with 4 or even five side by side and jumping lights . the old phase I pay my road tax has no meaning :D But I agree with your comment, our roads are knackered I think they have left them to get like that with just covering up with some tar and chippings to then turn round and say they want to make them private as planned before and we then get charged to use them by the owners or companies. I think the government just playing a waiting game at the minute. By slowly putting the pieces in there jigsaw.
  10. Not sure I just know the missus booked us one in sheffield next month looks like might have a day there :( but least get to meet up with a few of you lot why I'm there. will have a look at them tonight too.
  11. Pretty glad I didn't buy another nice shiny tax disc holder now :)
  12. depends how cold it is ;)
  13. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C lovely looking motor mate
  14. Drivers face fines of £1,000 if they don't get up to speed with the new rules from October 1 Car tax discs are to be scrapped in six weeks time but half of all UK drivers have no clue a survey claims. The little circle of paper, which has been displayed in windscreens since 1921, will vanish from October 1 as Vehicle Excise Duty is brought into the modern age. The changes were announced by Chancellor George Osborne late last year. But a survey from financial advice website money.co.uk claims 50 per cent of drivers have no idea it's going to happen. Nearly a third of said they will not even try to find out what the new rules are, according to the poll, while six per cent think the changes are not coming into effect until next year. Once the changes come into force, checks to see if drivers have paid their road tax will be done electronically using databases. This comes after the number of visual checks by police and the DVLA dropped 75% since 2008. Tax Change: After more than 90 years the tax disk is to be scrapped It is estimated that motorists will be £20million a year better off thanks to the move, with businesses saving £7million in admin costs. But drivers run the risk of fines of up to £1,000 if they don't get up to speed with the new rules. Tax will no longer be automatically transferred with a car when it is sold, so sellers are expected to tell the DVLA immediately of the change of ownership or face fines. Hannah Maundrell, editor in chief of money.co.uk, told the Telegraph: “Changes to the vehicle tax system are no bad thing and we fully welcome the introduction of direct debit payments, particularly for consumers who may be struggling to keep up with the soaring cost of driving. “It will also help to eliminate the problem of people who genuinely forget to renew their tax and end up being stung with a hefty fine. “However, I suspect the new system may experience some teething problems so drivers really need to make sure they're on top of their game.” Some of the savings from going paperless will be passed on to motorists. The six-month road tax charge – a popular option – will fall from 10% to 5%. Drivers will also be able to pay the tax by monthly direct debit for the first time. Fees vary according to engine size and Co2 emissions. TaxMan: Chancellor of the Exchequer George the prick Osborne announced the changes last year but half of all drivers still aren't aware For example, a 12-month fee is currently £140 for engine sizes under 1549cc, or £77 for six months. A Treasury spokesman previously said: “These changes mean it will be easier to tax your car, and cheaper than before to do it by instalment.” Vehicle tax was introduced in 1888, when Queen Victoria was on the thrown and the Marquess of Salisbury was Prime Minister. The current system of excise duty followed in 1920 and the original tax disc was introduced the next year. It was plain grey paper printed with black ink and sometimes carried ads on the back. The tax disc went colour in 1923 and perforations were introduced in 1938, making it easier to fit into a holder. The modern design, incorporating anti-forgery measures, came in 1961. For help with the changes, go to the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency website.
