Damm just got a new one.

Wish they would spend the money on the roads though. Where we are its worse than the third world for pot holes.

The guys from Arizona don't know what a canyon is till they see the pot holes on the roads here.

Hi, I hear that the reason for scrapping the tax discs is that they are now redundant because speed cameras etc. pictures are sent to computers which automatically check details of the vehicles from the licence plate and check against lists of unpaid road tax!! Such is the progress of modern technology!!
