that red rusty one! and a white 1 owner from new full service history all old mots etc rapid!!
plenty left at home though!
its the uni; they have car park contracters who a) overcharge and b) patrol
they are not legally obliged to warn!

That sounds as dodgy as a mutha to me.
'yeah we reserve the right to crush your untaxed car even though its off the road' WTF?

i am livid, but the garage that towed them away is closed so i cant give chase
I'm more irritated by the motorbike; that only had 3rd party insurance!

Gutted for you mate, thats what you call a bad day! I'd complain to the uni though, while they may not be legally obliged to give you any warning, common courtesy should have been reason enough for them to send you a letter before taking action like that, especially with students bieng notoriously skint- sometimes you cant afford to tax the car straight away.

sorry to hear that!!
are you paying to park at uni?
is there anything to stop them trespassing up my drive way, stealing a un taxed car from my garage, and then commiting criminal damage and crushing it? if so, am i now legaly allowed to steal untaxed cars to save them the job?
would this not be a good way to get rid of scrap cars seeing as it costs so much to dipose of them properly? just dump it and let the government clear it up?

You need some photocopied tax discs for carpark purposes. Bastads, at least they gave us some warning at Brunel.

thing is.... they do threaten to crush untaxed cars, and it's not the fact that you've got it on the public highway (as you haven't) but the fact you've not taxed, or sorned it. sorry and all, i know it's a bit harsh, but the same rules apply to retros and classics as they do to a rusty mk3 cavalier.
however did they not even try to contact you? is your address correct on the V5? that is a bit harsh to be honest if they've not bothered to send you a warning letter first.

Any to$$er caught attempting to take any one of my Skodas would be feeling very unwell after being whacked round the head with my shovel wether he was legally allowed to or not. FFS I know Skodas aren't everyones cup of tea,but we're talking about a rare model here..less than 50 on the road in this country last time I heard. Yeah, vrskodanorman will be livid, but I'm just as livid as he'll be when he hears this. Have the uni car park attendents got their bolox taxed? Maybe I'll remove them from their body and have 'em crushed! BTW,I think I need a new keyboard cos I'm battering these keys quite hard!

A bit OT, but can anyone explain to me the reasoning behind SORN. Someone who is going to drive an untaxed car on the road is not going to be put off by signing a peice of paper which effectively say's 'I promise not to be a naughty boy and drive my untaxed motor on the road'
