Road tax - "green tax" rise for older cars

[oracleslave]

Ah a sister car. Perhaps I paid over the odds for a Toyota badge seeing as they're made in the same factory. Like my local Toyota dealer though.

Indeed. Sometimes I almost make myself faint...

Debugging someone else's code is like sniffing someone else's farts. You don't mind so much if it's your own.

I've always wanted a Citroen myself. Although it was this one I really wanted, and I ended up with this one. Still, it's a start I suppose.

One of my mates who hasn't got a pot to piss in is going to have to fork out £210 for a Renault Scenic 1.4!

My partner is the same, not much income and a Ford Focus 1.4, no status-seeking gas-guzzler. Road tax going up to over 200, then to 400. And no, she can't sell it, not now, nobody will buy it with these taxes on it. Hhe has been robbed by New Labour and takes a number for the queue not to vote for them again. the number is high, I think.

Always wanted one, never quite been in the position to go for it. It'll happen one day. Probably the day after oil runs out or something.

My Orion was registered in 1989. Doesn't seem as if this will affect me

Only seven more years till I don't have to tax it at all, if they don't change the rules

UPDATE: ah heck, they already have - the twenty-five year exemption no longer exists
