Be nice if they spent the ****er on the roads. Round here when they spot a pothole they seem to just pour in a bag of BnQ tarmac and **** off
the tories are turning against the middle class more

Cancel at the end of March, and you'd get a refund for the unused April element. https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-refund
Then renew for a year beginning in April at the "2016" rate. When you renew next year, you'll pay the "2017" rate rather than the 2018 rate which will apply from May 2018.
They'll get you in the end.

OK - Stop rubbing it in - Mines September 06 - so I pay through the nose... but I will say she's worth it. Under £2 a day to know I have one of the best rear wheel drive 2 seat convertibles ever made at my beck and call.
I do think of SORNing her for a few months over winter and saving a chunk of cash- but the opportunity for a cold clear crisp topless winter drive up here in Cumbria soon puts paid to that.
Of course I'd really hate to pay full fat road tax - and have the spectre of depreciation to deal with as well - thankfully we don't ;-)

Convertible implies it was once a metal roofed coupe......!!!

You say potato...
I will say however in common use of the term roadster has expanded to cover convertibles as well.
But whatever you call them - I'm sure we both agree - the S is one hell of a car.... ;-0
