Who Fails ??? (AKA What Grinds my Gears)

Can anyone tell me when it became the norm to sell cars without tax or MOT? I seem to remember a time when sellers would bust a gut to try and get their cars at least MOTd before they try to sell them. If there wasnt tax and MOT it was usually because the car was either a total wreck that you could tell from a mile away or something really special that had been dry stored.

It really annoys me that people say that they wont tax and/or MOT the car they are selling because they dont have the time. Yeah, thanks, you obviously dont have pride in your vehicle and you obviously dont want to put any effort into selling it. Dont you have any idea how bloody hard it would be to organise travel to buy your car, get insurance and the certificate for a car you may not even buy because you havent been local enough to check, book an MOT at a nearby garage/MOT station, get any possible work sorted out before the MOT, get tax sorted out (especially as the dvla\'s elbow doesn\'t know what the hell its arse is doing), then try and get the car home again. Possibly unroadworthy/untaxed/uninsured/absolute piece of crap because it didnt pass mot but you couldnt get it checked before buying it.

My advice to anyone selling their car, unless it really is a huge lump of sh*t that you are selling, put some god damn pride in your motor vehicle, spend an extra bit of time and money putting a £40 MOT on it or at least try and help the buyer that will be trying to sort it out for your lazy arse instead of just saying that if you put an MOT on it you\'d bump the price up a few hundred quid.

My response to the lazy car sellers out there... F*CK YOU!

Grrrrrrrr my laptop is stuffed so I have to use the phone. Also I hate "experienced know it all machine operators" who can\'t(won\'t) process and screen aggregates properly. They don\'t listen and take advice from someone who has been doing the job as long as he can remember(me) and yet when I show them how to do it,it works. They then slag you off to the boss and say you are doing a crap job.
At least the sun is out

So went to the port today, to sort out the import tax on the car to then register it in Cyprus. I went to try and get them to acknowledge that the cc is 1308 just like every other rotary car in Cyprus, cut a long story short I\'ve ended up with the car impounded as I was supposed to have done it last year.

This should now be a long and drawn out ball ache.
