Might I suggest, if you have not already done so, that you post your question to either the uk.rec.cars.maintenance, uk.rec.cars.misc or uk.rec.driving groups were you are more likely to find people who can help.

What's your problem with life Jerry, other than breathing? Fed up creating hassle on uk.rec.models.rail are we? Wanker. The bloke asked a question, either answer it in some sort of helpful manner or shut-up, but don't have a bloody go at everyone all the time.

Care to point out where anything I said is *factually* incorrect?

Nice to se that you signed your post, trouble is you did so in the middle of it!

Try actually reading what I said - again all you have done is prove (yet again) that trolls can't read.

The question was *off topic*;

"but as I'm about to do it again I would appreciate advice on the best way to transfer my number from my outgoing Xantia to my incoming C-Max"

All I did was to point the OP towards three other groups were he is more likely to get the help he wants, if you think there is a problem in doing that then it shows that you are the one with the problem, not me...

If you want to be certain about it & have the time, apply for the registration to be put on retention IIRC the cost is £105. Then sell/dispose/PX the car, once you have the new car you then transfer the the number at no extra cost. The advantage of this is you are in control & you do things as you want.

The other option is to have both V5C's both MOT's & possibly both VED discs if they are both taxed. You can then do it all in one go for £80 but the V5C's will take a while to come back, this may not be convenient for the new owner.

You are also best if you can doing this in person at your local DVLA office.

Alan... p.s. Jerry please don't bother to answer, but I bet you can't resist.

Yawn.......... Plonk! Badger.

Another person who likes to dish the crap but doesn't like it when it gets thrown back at them...

Gerald (can I call you Gerald), do you find such aggressive language rewarding. Here we all sit at our computers, drawn together by a shared interest in old cars, and we see your aggressive, profanity- filled postings. What do you suppose happens then? Do we all think "Oh, it's big strong scary Jerry" or do we think "Oh, just another prat hiding behind his keyboard?"

You can reply to this as you like, of course. You can say "f*ck" properly if you want to be really tough. But what will it achieve, Gerald, what will it achieve?

Sod all left to reply to...

You must admit that it was awfully jolly of him to offer, clearly making such advances is another of his many talents.

LOL just knew you wouldn't be able to resist, btw I never said you couldn't just politely asked you not to.

Alan...

I suspect that a lot of people in here wouldn't really give a toss if the plate was of the usual standard of 'personalised', i.e. "A11 KNP" or whatever.

I wouldn't give a toss if it was "1 A", it's a reg plate - that is all. When registrations were first issued in 1903 they were supposed to be transferable to the car that replaced 'em. So if you had a car with a nice plate, but the car was knackered, you could put that plate onto your next car.

It's different with some plates, and some older stuff does look a bit funny with the DVLA 'age related' plates on as they tend to all be plates from the highlands of Scotland or some obscure bit of Wales and therefore instantly recognisable.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Jerry" saying something like:

Fuck off and bang some more rocks together, Jerry.

?? Did what?
