Tax disc removal
I seem to be the only person who has removed theirs. I did mine on the first day you could legally. No car where I live seems to have.
Am I alone?

Re: Tax disc removal
Mine ran out at the end of october so I left it in place until the date had expired then removed it. Shame as it was quite a nice black one with the logo etched on the back.

Re: Tax disc removal
As did mine, but it was removed on Oct.1st. As others have stated, I hate having things making it look untidy like a dealer sticker or the RFL. I was honestly delighted when the DVLA announced the changes.MikeFish wrote:Mine ran out at the end of october so I left it in place until the date had expired then removed it.

It's all torque talk.
Re: Tax disc removal
Bit late for me - I lost at least three tax disc's from the 211 whilst bombing down the motorway. The windscreen is annoyingly a fraction shorter than diameter of the tax disc. In the end had to get a motorbike type holder and bolt it to the roll bar. DVLA were getting suspicious that I was selling them or something.

They're a pain in the arse. Especially where I tell porkies to the wife about running costs

Re: Tax disc removal
Graeme, man maths will only ever be understood by us men. It is that simple. And your post is grammatically incorrect.

Re: Tax disc removal
My tax disc came off straight away too, haven't gotten around to cleaning off the sticky sh*t tho.
I love man maths lol
My logic - remap = better fuel economy (as if!) and buying uprated 380mm discs will be cheaper in the long run because I'll just be replacing the rotor...
Fast car = better quality of life! priceless.
I can't think of a sensible reason for the zorst tho
Bank account doesn't agree haha

I tried once to explain how the ceramic disc option was better, but in the end I had to pull my trump card on her ;SuprSi wrote:I love man maths lol
