    As you're driving through you're thinking "Ofcourse I'll remember" and then the next thing you know is getting the letter. :rolleyes:

    Was home at the weekend, and was chatting to my Dad who is looking to move on from his 2012 A6. Was expecting him to say he'd move on to an A7 which he's been eyeballing for a while, or maybe even a Jag

    Nope. Wants a Mustang. In triple yellow. Like this one:

    Apparently they're not taking orders till April, and not expecting delivery till September which is a while to wait. But will be so worth it

    Just looking through the first few pages of this thread (time for a new one methinks)

    Stumbled across this post. Did this ever materialise OSI, or did things change?

    I forgot, then moved house... was reminded by other people talking several months later. Panic!!!! Thought I'd have to get a mortgage to pay them.

    Turns out the previous owner of my car had credit on that number plate still. Lucky!!

    @ OSI - try these dudes in the UK. Will save on shipping / customs. Tell them you're in a car club and they'll give you a discount.

    Very good to deal with.

    I was looking to get brake discs for the 335 from a US site a few years ago. The cost of shipping exceeded the cost of the discs. I think it would cost an absolute fortune if your dad were to import wheels from the US.

    I wouldn't even attempt to remember to pay it. Account all the way even do I probably don't go through it 10 times in the year.

    If it does not then the cameras pick up your reg, contact eflow to check if you have an account and charge your account, I have been doing this for 3 years.

    It's tiny tbf. Mine is stuck behind the mirror and is small enough that I can't see it sitting there. Just make sure you don't block the auto-dimming light sensor and spend weeks cursing being blinded like I did first time.

    Auto-dimming light sensor? I don't even have ABS :rolleyes:

    Anyone else get pulled in by a Custom officer in an Opel Insignia hatchback that looks like a Garda car?

    I was driving a UK reg car and They must have been following me for a while until I parked up at a Spar.

    Luckily I had all my documents in order including my shipping ticket from 2 weeks ago and my motor trader docs.

    I wonder how they decide to stop UK reg cars? It wouldn't really that welcoming for a UK holiday maker that brought their car over for the holiday.

    Also, anyone know what would happen if thi gs weren't in order?
