Default Inflation!!

Got a bit of a surprise toady....... went to the DVLA in Chelmsford to put my Scoobs private plate back on retention, and got mugged for £105 !

Wasn't that expensive 6 yrs ago when I originally put it on the car... - Seems hidden charges have been added over the years.........

Rant over.........

And there's me thinking I was being ripped off again...........

Not sure yet if I want to sell the plate or put it on the next car (which may or may not be another Scoob)... had this one for 6 yrs now, previous one for 3, and prior to that two others over 2 yrs, so after 11 yrs of scoobs I'm starting to fancy trying something else....... Evo10 appeals.... but then there aren't too many of them around as P/X's at the mo.......

Who knows..... when the time comes, I will see what deals pop up and go from there...
