Was due to pick up a new car today. The one I have bought has a private reg on it. I’ve waited 10 days for the dvla to put this reg on retention. Had a phone call from the dealer this morning to say the paper work had been rejected because of an error on it :mad: Now I have to wait another 10 days
Bad luck Deaky. It’ll be worth the wait to drive around with your own plate :). Not worth going for a starndard, then transferring because of the fees and insurance admin costs.
AFAIK as well curufin here you can (mind I’ve only ever bough one car and that was second hand so a quick signing of a change of ownership forms, change of money and it was mine. Cant remember if I drove home uninsured mind.)
I think Deaky’s problem here is the current car has a personalised number plate and the current owner wants to move the plate onto his new car. :shrug:
Still doing a good job of not thinking about it m8. I’m expecting some dick from dvla to balls up the paper work again. If this does happen I won’t be too dissapointed. We’ll se what tomorrow brings :xfinger:
to be fair to DVLA, they downsized a couple of years ago and got rid of older staff through early retirement. everything is now scripted and computer-driven with kids earning £11k, so any unusual circumstances hit a brick wall.
[QUOTE=The Dirts;371805]Yes, exactly. Take it easy.

You see that’s the problem with taking it easy :Poke:
Now if he had been more hasty and planted the gas peddle to the floor that truck would never have got close enough to hit it in the 1st place :chuckle:
:Poke:
Enjoy the motor Deaky (Not to my taste) but looks a cracker non the less.
