    I could do Ian but there are 2 issues.

    1 - the dvla don't know I'm the current owner as the paperwork only went away yesterday
    2 - even tho the tax would be bought I could be fined for failing to show a valid tax disc :(

    I'll just need to wait :(

    The third issue is that you should always buy your tax disc at the Post Office. When the Post Offices close, you'll all miss them...

    Back OT - nice car, now mod it to make it what the GP should always have been! I'm confident you will

    No no no .. Can't mod a GP it's not right :)
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    See Ryan's GP for what a GP should look like IMO - proper wheels, better suspension, better seats

    Yes but if you drop it to much then you end up ripping off the splitter on the front bumper and scraping the side skirts just like Ryan did so what's the point when you just end up wrecking the car !! And it will be worthless after that
