“The Classic Car Fine Trap
If you forget to renew your historic car’s £0 tax (and haven’t declared a SORN), you face the exact same penalties as any other vehicle.
If an owner forgets to complete this annual paperwork, the DVLA’s automated computer sweeps flag the vehicle as untaxed. Historically, data obtained via Freedom of Information ( FOI) requests showed that over 34,000 drivers of zero-rated (“nil-tax”) vehicles were fined in a single year, funnelling over £500,000 into the DVLA for vehicles that were technically free to tax.”

Pre-Kirkhouse meeting run 15th September 2026.
Colin has prepared the route.
Our last 2026 pre Kirkhouse run is being proposed for Tuesday 15th September 2026. The proposal is to meet at the GRID Braehead car park (formerly Xscape) next to the “Lord of the Isles” pub. (what three words ///trio.builds.formed) . We leave at 10am. The suggested route is to head past Inchinnan and then to follow the road to Houston, circle north, past Formakin Estate to Bishopton and then meet up again at Erskine Veterans Village main car park (Harry’s Cafe). Afterwards, over the Erskine bridge, through Hardgate towards Bearsden. Left at the Langfaulds roundabout and left at the Baljaffray roundabout on to the Drymen (Stockiemuir) road. Then right at Carbeth to Strathblane and the Kirkhouse. The route is about 29 miles. If you fancy it, just turn up at Braehead or join in along the route!
