My mk4 Astra has been on sorn for ages, three weeks ago I decided to go get it mot'd to try sell it (price would be £4/500)
Well due to rainy weather we had I didn't get round to cleaning it out from inside the car.
Anyway it's been parked off the road on my land for a long time on sorn, after recently re parking it one of the rear wheels is over hanging our curb by 3".
So today I found a nice note with a clamp from dvla saying "this vehicle is not taxed"
I thought OK.. It's off road sorn...
So called the number up to explain, and they said they had a complaint it was on the road, I tried to explain and they said well we have photos and technically that wheels on the road (I live in a very very small close)
I knew straight away who had complained about it as he's a total **** like this, so they told me I need to pay a £300 release fine (£160 refundable after cars taxed) I said it's on sorn because I don't use it nor want to pay £285 to tax it to sell it, so said they can come and scrap it! I've took loads off it, they can scrap it and I'll sell the parts, bonus free removal lol

---

sounds like trespassing, damage of possessions, and emotional stress to me.... dirty buggers.... i shoulda been a lawyer lol

i bet some people in the past have probably circular sawed the clamp off, and weighed them in for scrap cash, haha

Well it's gone now and no way am I stumping up £300 to get it back then tax it to sell it with a price of £4/500, don't get me wrong, I'm pissed off, it was a lovely car once, and had an awesome Z18xe1 engine.
Ah well, some time next year think we will be putting the house for sale, as cba with these neighbours, plus need more parking etc.

It was smart looking motor...you should piss thourgh the guys letter box

NEVER let neighbours win EVER

P.s you would need to tax it to sell it anymore

We will need more parking for our planned camper, plus we need a minimum of a two bed place once we're married next year as we plan on having kids.

He might get some of his dog **** (that I found on my front lawn) under his car handles for nice morning surprises!
As for the car, the way the release of it works was, you stump up £300, £160 is refunded once you tax it, as they won't release it unless you do, so anyone with a car on sorn make sure you have it stashed in a lockup as anything on your drive is fair game apparently!
As I don't want it off sorn to then sell and try get a tax refund I just said scrap it, I'm not wasting more money on it.

Not saying a word about feeling old. Age is just a number.
Didn't stop mr. Vlietje having the pleasure of reminding me of my age about 2,563 times over the past 2 days.

Neighbours need terrorising for that.
Driveway is private land.they cannot clamp you on your own drive.

Me I would have cut off the lock and took it to your mums when they say we're is it just day I Ashume you took it

they will still chace you for some Money i bet

I know someone who got clamped. So he cut the clamp off and scrapped the car along with the clamp lol. He never heard anymore about it lol

Being born in 1964, I'm not saying a word.

Canadian metal band Anvil is doing one gig only in Holland and it's sold out. ****. Trying all possible ways to get my hands on a ticket. (yes I should have bought a bloody ticket ages ago before anyone starts lecturing me)

So....

Reason this all happened was because a lovely neighbour complained to the council saying that they though my car was "abandoned" , the council sent a nice letter for me to inform me to move it and contact them as they didn't want dvla involved,
(they sent the letter the day the dvla took the car away) but who ever it was also told dvla they thought it was abandoned too..

The woman from the council was shocked when I said it's already gone..
And she's informed me the land to the side of the property dive and "my" drive are council owned (unbeknown to me) So this was why dvla just came and did as they wished...
So I now have a lovely job of trying to explain the situation and not get rapped by dvla.!
Nice! Happy ****ing Christmas..

What happened mate?

The AA park their flat beds in my yard at work and they think they own the place, so I got in my car and went to go home and one decided he'd stop with his lights off behind me boot is scrap and car is still full of glass. Managed to put a Polly window and replacement lid on when I got in but am so drained and pissed off that worlds can't explain

are they going to pay for it mate ?

Nope, it was on private land and I'm better off keeping quiet as I don't need my insurance getting any higher than it already is. did have the bits at home to meake a temp repair but don't change the fact that I'm super pissed still.

damn.
was the trailer bit sticking out, in-line with your window ?

Yeah in line with the back of the boot witch poped the window

I know how you fill mate I get wa***rs were I live park like dopes

i had my back windscreen, and the passenger window, both smashed one time.

they didnt steal the stereo, or even unlock the doors, just plain vandalism... i think it was purely because it was a nova, as i had no enemies.

almost lost my job over that too, because work thought i was bullsh!tting them when i turned up late.

The poxy rain how the hell can get things done i was cleaning the corsa yesterday and it needed a clay bar so done all that went to dry it and it rained :mad: and to day rain what a joke

Best time to Clay a car is in the rain.

A untidy kitchen. One place i really hate being messy.

And some one has badly put the cutlery away too. Had to take it all out and start a fresh.

yeah true but cant dry it after to see the hard work tho :(

You won't really see the difference after claying. You can feel it yes.

Multi Storey car parks are your friend. Must be loads in London..... I rebuilt the front end of my car one one years ago.. Cost 2quid.

lol i would of loved to seen that never seen anything like that in a car park only thing i have done to a car in a car park is fit a sub in my mates golf lol

hah, nice one.
never crossed my mind... ill have to remember that when its pissing down, and something needs doing :thumb:

Bought some throttle bodies ages ago for 500 quid (6 weeks?), they were missing some parts (about £160 worth), had to start a Paypal dispute as he stopped responding to me, a month later after a prodding they've decided in my favour however I need to return them for a full refund rather than get the partial refund like I wanted to replace the missing bits.

So I'll be posting them back to a scammer at an unknown address and *hoping* they give me a full refund, postage is at my cost for some unknown reason, and I'll be back at square one.

And now after I've told him they're going to be on their way back to him he magically calls me and says he'll post them ASAP.... Some people need shooting.

Lmfao, just in an opposite situation, sold an item on eBay, guy received it yesterday, now he's saying it's broken and wants a refund! ****ing hate eBay it's utter bollocks!..

Yeah tread carefully if he opens a Paypal dispute! Daft how sellers get stung with all the fees that bite them if anything goes wrong.

I was about ready to return them and forget the stupid idea and just stick with standard management.

I've been on the tipping point twice in the last few months as to just bin mine off, not had any good luck with the car, other situations or my health lately, and it's all just chipping away at me...

Came up with a plan that gave me shelving to store stuff mainly interiors but just finishing of now pulled one of the baskets I'm useing in the dark and I'd put a mint mk1 original bonnet on it put away I planed to use on the yellow sr, it fell off and bent to buggery now sitting on a scrap pile what a waste

Started to stitch weld my nova last weekend had arond both tie bars to do and ran out of wire, got a new roll tonight got half way around the last one and ran out of gas aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
