I'm a big fan of the DVLA-buy-your-car-tax-disc-online site which is infinitely better than having to queue for 45 minutes in the local post office during your lunch break only to be told that "this is a minor post office and we don't actually do tax discs" by the grumpy cashier when you finally reach the front of the queue.
My online-purchased disc turned up safe and sound a couple of weeks ago and then, weirdly, it did the same again today. So I've now got two tax discs for the same car, both expiring on 30/4/10. Although its nice to have a spare in case the original blows away during the warm summer of top-free driving I think I might try and recuperate some of the significant £170 pounds the small purple circle cost me.
So, does anyone else out there own a Toyota MR2, registration **** *** and want to buy a cheap tax disc? Say £169? Email me if so.
[Note to lawyers - I'm not really selling this and have already contacted the DVLA about their administrative error. Please don't throw me in jail]
