Sent my log book to DVLA to notify a change in the colour of my Landrover
from green to Limestone.
Guess what colour it said on the Logbook when it returned?
Yes! Grey .

Sent it back today and filled in 'cream' as the new colour just wondering
what I'll get back. Maybe Red.......

Well what other colour is limestone??

I expect the poor girl at the DVLA has been told not to use proprietary
names just proper colours, and grey is the colour of limestone.

Well, you've had more luck than i did on a recent one, it took three
attempts to get them to change the engine size on my logbook. I sent
it back in the end with the change circled in big red marked pen with
the new details in 1" letters.

I recently sent back the V5 for a car which i have scrapped (as in
personally broken).

A couple of weeks later i got back a 'thankyou for letting us know you
have scrapped or transferred this vehicle' letter - but for the wrong
bloody car! (theyve chosen one of my SORNed cars instead)

I still havent got round to writing to them.

The DVLA are really crap!

Hmmm i had a problem like this with them. When i bought the Disco it
had 'Disabled' in the taxation class. So off i went to my local DVLA office
to change it. Made the mistake of going at lunch time and at the end of a
month, it took 2 hours to get to the counter, told the bloke what i wanted
to do, watched him write 'PLG' in the new taxation class and entered my
details as the new owner. That was that....or so i thought.
New V5C turns up and guess what the taxation class was, yep bloody
'Disabled' still!!!!. Not a happy bunny i started to ring up the DVLA.
finally got through and explained my problem. I was then told that local
office had not told head office that i was changing taxation
class....arghhhhhhhhhh. Matey on phone must have realised that i was upset
as he changed the class over the phone and told me to shred the the V5C when
the 2nd new one turns up!!!.

Ive been thinking, technically I am limestone, but I have a couple of green
doors, a fair amount of battleship grey and the odd bits of pink. How would
I seriosly describe that.

I am figuring that I am actually going to make it a bit more artistic. maybe
I should describe its appearance as post modern :)

Hey disabled is a very handy class to be in, it means you don't get to pay
certain tolls and don't have to pay road tax.

I would say though that "knackered" is more appropriate for my landie

Sorry Jeff but Limestone is nothing like grey it's like saying Magnolia is
Red. If the Police were to pull me I am sure I would get fined for it not
being the right colour....

Sorry I think you missed my point; if you don't know what colour "Landrover
Limestone" is and you are not allowed to put proprietary names on the log
book, then you would guess grey because that is the colour of limestone in
the real world.

So is grey - nearly white that is, well more nearly white than, say,
black.

Coming from Portland I can assure you that limestone is grey!!!
Even freshly cut or cleaned stone is not white, very light grey I will
admit, but grey none the less, and with only the slightest weathering it is
definitely grey.

Jeff
