As well as not taxing the Maser from next month, I've decided to SORN the Pinin. Haven't even used the BMW in the last 2 weeks but still might have to venture out for business, if I really have too, working from home.
Still also have the Mrs VW being her company car, and the Stag which is tax free anyway.
I wonder how much lost road tax revenue from car owners doing the same?

Ditto. QP was due MOT, tyres and tax in April. RR will be sorned tonight and will run around in A4 for click & collect shopping.

With the amount of money which has suddenly appeared recently from the Gov to try and cope with the existing situation I think road tax will be a very minor concern, more importantly your stag, what wonderful motor in my opinion, never got around to getting hold of one, wish I had. The oldest I have is a K reg BM 850 CI, I keep it on the road and love driving it, a motor well before it’s time, still going strong with 105 K on the clock, which is not a lot really for the age. But a stag is something else, enjoy.

I've also stopped the kids giffgaff goodybags on their mobile phones. They aren't going out using mobile data and never actually speak to their friends in the traditional way anyway!

Mine too, I don't think the 3200GT will be coming out to play this year, and It keeps the mileage down to around 26k! ;)

For the first time ever before winter filled the Maser and Stags fuel tanks up and added fuel stabiliser. Glad I did now :(

My insurance on the mustang is due on the 17th april , the way this is going I'll be buying insurance with no miles just to get fire and theft cover.

My wife signed the paperwork to be furloughed at work today , they're expecting to be closed for 12 weeks but want the option to have her in on full pay if they need her during that period.

What a mess

Well, I just got Mara 2 weeks ago so going to sorn the cayenne till October then swap round for winter and for now I will use the GTS when I do get out. However, going out once or twice a week for the 10 mile trip to tesco will not be the weekend wafting through the glens and round the lochs I had envisaged when I got her, but still a drive nonetheless and in these precarious times, I'll take what I can get to brighten my day.
Fiona not bringing the boxster out of sorn either this year and just sticking to the mito.......

Once you are furloughed, it's for a minimum 3 weeks, no popping back at full pay during each 3 week period.

I think they're thinking they can just turn the 80% off for a day if they want her in but I thought it was wrong when she showed me it , I didn't disagree though , I could be in here for weeks with her :D

Will be SORN'ning the Vantage and XJL tomorrow. Will just leave the Outlander and wife's Disco Sport taxed. Going to need as many sheckles in the bank as I can if Boris isn't going to help make up the potential shortfall.

Maser already on SORN but was originally planning to tax it on Wed but won't now.
75 Tax was due but will SORN and might as well do the 147 runabout - That leaves the wife's car plus the Junior Zagato to use if necessary.
