You reminded me I need to check when mine's due : 12 Nov
The polar opposite of finding out your car sails through and it won't cost you any more than the price of the MOT itself is the dread feeling you get when you realise it's either due or late and you can't find the form anywhere
I used to hate that : the panicked adrenaline rush coursing through your body as you try to stay calm and think where the hell you put the papers ..
In the end, I went out and bought one of these :
Now, every bit of paper I get goes in there :ugeek:
Only took me 40-odd years to work it out
The blahblah of the forum
Re: The blabla of the forum
We have a garage less than a mile away who do mine. They send a reminder every year - the DVLA don't. I have managed to organise my car related issues so they all happen in March. Car Tax renewal, Insurance and MOT. Helps the memory.

Re: The blabla of the forum
My garage did send me a reminder but it was MOT'd in Forfar last year, so I wasnt driving back up there just for an MOT.
Found a local garage in Heckmondwike and they did it this morning.
Glad I was of help Rigger.
My MOT is October, Road Tax January and Insurance is March easier to budget for than having all three at the same time.

It bugs the shyte out of me that the DVLA don't send out reminders .. it's almost like they want to catch people out or something
Actually, having said that, I guess I've probably accumulated at least a full year by forgetting to get it done - all totally genuine, too.

We still get reminders here although the Gov run the MOT cemtres not private garages.rigger wrote:It bugs the shyte out of me that the DVLA don't send out reminders .. it's almost like they want to catch people out or something

Just got a new home for a "difficult" African Grey parrot. Will take months if not years of work to get it back to trusting people but I know it's going to the right person. My day is good.

Happy days.Mr Russell wrote:Good to hear that kind of news speaking of parrots, my families one which went missing earlier this year I can say she is back to her old self and happy.Davycc wrote:Just got a new home for a "difficult" African Grey parrot.
