This time next year Rodders

Are you expecting to find an antique watch in the basement of the science park?

No, but I had my great Italian coat stolen earlier this year - some MF in a pub did that!

Your insurance to drive other people's cars does not cover you if that car is not insured independently by its keeper.

Not true. I checked this with my former insurer (privilege) when I used to have a car, and they told me that I was covered to drive a car the owner didn't have insured yet. I was picking up a car someone else had just bought.

The DVLA say

Before taking a vehicle on the road
The vehicle must:
be registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
have a valid vehicle tax disc
hold a current test certificate (if this is required)
You must:
have the minimum of third party insurance which covers your use of the vehicle

No mention that the vehicle itself must be insured, as long as you have valid insurance you aren't driving without insurance.

Best bet is to check with your insurance company and see what they say.

Fancy another Brum meet around Christmas time? It must be two years since the last one?

AFAIK you won't get tax disk unless vehicle is insured explicitly.

Other than that there are no other flaws in this cunning plan #87.

I'll post it up in the meets section then - see the huge turnout we get.

It will probably be oversubscribe once my "friends" from this forum know I am going to be in attendance

Not an issue if it's already taxed.

You can't tax it without having insurance for that car + MOT (if required).
