V62 bomber

Two years ago I accepted a job in the UK, moving myself and family from Belgium to the Midlands. I have been happy with our new life in the UK, but recently I have experienced a very frustrating and upsetting...

Logger heads

When I come to sell my car and complete the “log book” How can I assure myself that the new owner will complete (correctly) their part of the logbook and send off to DVLA? The only foolproof way of doing...
