So, I bought Mako on 05/02/2011. She was MOTed on 04/02/2011, but she needs to be taxed at the beginning of March.
Now if you have ever bought a car that close to its tax date before, you know that you're going to the post office with the V5c stub.
Yesterday I got the new V5c. Today, I got the V11. Tomorrow morning, I'll be taxing Mako online. I am amazed at the level of efficiency.
Is it just me, or is the fact that I'm surprised by this a little bit sad?
