Our lot at Ashfield have decided to open the doors to any vehicle as long as it's 2 years old and under. Basically this means that they are once again issuing HC plates to anything instead of brand new WAV's.

This is from a Council who are suspending drivers for over ranking because there's a lack of rank space.

I think this is the end of the cab trade in S-in-A

Well look on the bright side, you no longer have to buy one of those nasty TX things that cost and arm and a leg to run
Just sit back in your nearly new 50 plus mpg Skoda Octavia or even better superb :D

They opened the doors back in 2000 to anything, when the place got choked up they placed restrictions allowing WAV only, these had to be brand new on presentation.

But at least they now can if they are daft enough to want one.
