Not me owing to a lack of talent but wheels refurbed and looking ace.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
I did something similar recently when i wanted to update the engine capacity and number on my car, eventually got a letter back from DVLA saying thank you for letting us know you have scrapped the car.... I don't think so having just spent 5 years or so restoring it. Eventually spoke to someone who said that the document had been miss processed and the revised V5 arrived in a week all correct....KS wrote:More to the point, what I didn't do (or wasn't able to do)...
Well that's bollocks. Sent off my V55/5 over two weeks ago, after having my 914 MOT'd (which it didn't legally need, although I was told that by doing so the it wouldn't need to be inspected as an MOT includes a check on the identity – and physical presence – of the car) and hear nothing. I call after a week solely to check the paperwork had been received and was all in order, only to hear the words "It's not been processed yet. Try again in a few days...". I e-mail DVLA yesterday and get given a case number, so I do on-line chat late afternoon and was told I needed to speak to the First Registrations Team, but also that the public cannot speak to them directly. Anyway, turns out they knock off at 5.00pm so was told to call back at 8.00am and try again.
This morning, I do on-line chat (the best way as it stops me losing my temper...) at 8.20am and get told the First Registrations Team isn't in until 9.00am. Try again... This time I get told to ring the general DVLA number, wait in line for 12 minutes and finally get through to an advisor who takes all my details, including the chassis number (oooh, that's hopeful - not been asked for that over the phone before...) and, and, and.... "A letter was sent out to you on 12th April telling you that the vehicle will need to be inspected by SGS." But I don't have any letter – anyway, I was told I wouldn't need to have the vehicle inspected as it had been MOT'd – which it didn't actually legally need as it's a VHI. "Oh. all vehicles have to be MOT'd". No they don't. "Well I'm sorry, but you will need to call SGS to make an appointment. Would you like their number?". And so it goes on... Over two weeks wasted. Bring back regional offices where you could sort it all out over the counter.
And breathe.
