Pimm, i did the same thing 3 weeks ago with my runaround . I had only just mot'd and taxed it as well for another year It was extremely annoying but you just have to put it behind you. I was lucky i sold the zed, so i was in a position to buy another car, otherwise i would have been well buggered to put it mildly. Although, the money i spent on the replacement was earmarked for my Zed fund, so thats put the new zed on hold for a bit longer
