Thing is, I've had it in lock up and only driven it a couple of times since I got a warning a few weeks ago. been trying to get the 1,400 euro together since then.

finished a hard days slog today , decided to bring it back to my house and get the paperwork ready to bring it to the tax office tomorrow to pay the duty....I sh*t you not .....tomorrow the duty was being paid. :cry:

 

two guys in a Discovery were hidden in some trees outside the industrial estate where I work, waiting for me. I asked them to wait while I removed the very expensive pioneer sound system installed (which was taken out of my old Zed). No chance . "anything fixed to the car stays in the car"

 

Before anyone thinks I'm looking for sympathy for being very stupid, I'm not. I'm quite capable of feeling sorry for myself :( :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

They've asked me to go the government buildings tomorrow morning to see if anything can be done , but knowing this particular guy i would fooking doubt it . Sickening thing is I've spent a lot of cash upgrading and replacing parts which i've been doing since Christmas, Where on my previous zeds I've given the government money first , then found i don't have a lot of cash to spend.

 

I Know i've not been on here very long but ask you guys to say a couple of prayers for me tonight! the chances of anything positive happening tomorrow are slim, and the fact some of these dirty customs guys will eventually sell it at some private auction for a handy bit of cash is making my blood boil........

Nice one mate - now you know you can get away with it! ;)

congrats mate

Glad it turned out ok for you!

:dance: :nana2: :nana2: :duffer: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

 

 

Thanks for all the help and advice guys! Got my Zed back this afternoon!!

 

I was very humble and apologetic and think it paid off. I was only given a 200 euro fine (plus the duty of course), and a ticking off.

 

I am EXTREMELY lucky. When I was brought to the compound to collect it I saw a lot of bmw's and skylines taken from people who weren't so lucky :(

 

So now i'm legal, 91 W 1755, that's me! now, where's the beer, i'm off to celebrate, and twinpier, cheers fella!

lol! funny you asked cos when i collected it the targas were off! I asked the customs guy why , and his reply was " erm, we had to give the car a proper search this morning, its procedure, and the guys must have removed them for easy access....." My arse!!

 

TBH I dont care if they were drifting it , doing donuts and 1/4 mile times as long as i got it back :p

I'm very happy (and relieved) for you, mate :)
