The 514th are always looking for more co-pilots for each of our journeys. Take a look at our events page to see where we are going : http://514th.co.uk/events.html We are from Farborough in Hampshire, so if anyone wants a lift just reply on here or PM myself or Mick.Wilson. Cara x

Hi Phil, As usual we will be doing our convoy trip to War and Peace, don't ask me what the route is though, as I just follow the truck in front. :-D We should hit the limit of 8 vehicles in the convoy though all towing trailers and 1 towing an extra jeep. :-D Would be good to catch the Jeep Vexin crew driving to the show though, as they would be coming from France and they always travel in convoy and full kit as well. Just not sure when they are actually coming, but could find out when and what route if you were intersted? Cara x

Hmm, I will ask Kjell the next time I catch him, as I have imported a couple of trucks from there, and a friend is importing one in a couple of months time ....... hopefully :oops: Cara x

Some nice pics there Mark. Bit before my time though, the W&P ones. :-D Hope to see you there again this year. Cara x

Sorry, Wasn't sure where to put this. Please sign if you so wish. Thanks, Cara x Subject: UK Road Tax Sign and pass it on. It only takes a minute. The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it. The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver. A non working Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month. On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit you can expect a NIP with your monthly bill. If you care about our freedoms and stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/ Please pass this on to anyone who owns a car/motorcycle. It affects them.

Hey, sorted. Thanks Joris. Cara x

Anybody got any idea what is going on with the website? Website isn't working, nor are the topic reply notifications. but if you type in http://www.hmvf.co.uk/forum you can still get access to here. Cara x

I'll be there this year, with Alison. Not taking the wagon with us though, way too far !!! This is our end of season chill out event. Walking around in uniform enjoying the scenery. :-) Cara x

It's the same as if you want to renew your tax through the DVLA website. http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/application;JSESSIONID_EvlPortalApp=Fh66orsfiHkyBbw6dGZrLUxhX54ttXRzyoQxQ514SHy2QYwr9YAH!-1567222848!355991258?origin=vnav_bar.jsp&event=bea.portal.framework.internal.refresh&pageid=Apply+for+a+tax+disc+NOW%21 All fine and dandy it you have an MOT, but not so if your vehicle doesn't legally need an MOT. I was trying to renew my Tax disc on line and when they question you about the MOT, they say : My vehicle has been issued with a new style MOT : The options are : Yes / No / Not Applicable. So you use the not applicable option, finish the rest of the form and then it tells you that you can't get a tax disc as they have no record of a valid MOT certificate for that vehicle !!! :argh: You can also renew your tax disc over the phone .... except ... yup, they have to be able to see a valid MOT certificate to be able to send you a new tax disc. Why send you the letters about it all regarding the vehicle whos tax is due for renewal when we can't actually use the website !!! :argh: Ended up having to rush down the post office to do it.
