Its a nasty disease!!!!!!!

I hear you can catch it while playing with your knob in your Volvo..

I agree.

I think I caught something similar in my younger days with a bird in my MR2.

I still have the MR2, although it is now SORE

Think thats the form the DVLA send to me each year to ensure it is off the road due to being not taxed or insured.

Put it this way I am glad I was insured at the time of infection......

So you can confirm that it's not HMRC he has to worry about - just the procurement laws?

Indeed, and I forgot to say the surrounding trim all matches nicely.

Now I have to worry about HMRC and "pleasure houses" tax avoidance

Sorry guys, could not resist. After all the recent un-pleasantries going round, the knob was an ideal relief. Oh no done it again. Perhaps the knob needs withdrawing ? Oh no missus.....

Volvo owners aren't the only guys to have trouble with their knobs ! My Subaru owning mate has loads of problems with his knob falling off, especially now he has an STI..

In your shoes I'd worry less about the tax implications and more about the prison ones...
