He is my idol, my God, my master .....

But he seems to be banned at the current time, posting a photo of UncleBuck it would seem

You know what? I have looked and cannot find the link to that photo?

 

so why dont you chop in the scoob for a new polo that returns 76mpg, not worry about rpm and still keep it for decades.

the only difference between your owning the impreza and my suggestion above is that you would have a leg to stand on in an environmental debate with my suggestion

 

I need the power of the Impreza to tow my Caravan with see? When the Council moves us on we need 4x4 too!!

I have not removed my CAT to pollute the planet further ...

 

i agree with you to a certain extent,Scrap car tax and put it on petrol so those that use more pay more. But arent we one of the most tax countries in the world?

And as for the tree huggers-dont believe everything you hear on the news about the enviorment. If they were that worried about the planet why are they buildin nuclear war heads,cuttin down the rain forests or drivin around in their 4.2 jags instead of a push bike?
Kettle,Pot and Black comes to mind

 

The whole point of the higher tax on band g is twofold

1. dissuade the public from buying one
2. incentivise the car manufacturers to lower the emissions

Raising fuel duty will achieve neither of these.

 

What about when they "widen" Band G?! You'll all be sorry then

£205 per year road tax

 

You must have been drinkin to much coz im not Mr lewis!!!

If you read original post it was Mr lewis that said about £1000 car tax and i asked if anyone else heard about it!

 

Just get yourself registered as disabled with a bad back or something then you get free road tax. Vehicle tax for disabled people : Directgov - Disabled people

 

You used the wrong login to reply to that one

 

i pay £300 a year for my EVO IX if it go's up to £1000 i will need to rob the banks lol

 

Just scare mongering at this point mate... Don't vote tory or liberal and it won't go up that high

 

Impreza Type-R (Import) 12 months road tax £180

 

All old (er) cars are in the £180 bracket don't think because you have a Type R you are special this higher tax bracket only apply to the better newer cars
I also have a Type R but i refuse to tax it because i have another scooby to use

 

Now here's a classic example of someone who's been sucked in by Govn't prapaganda. *sigh*

The tax isn't about trying to save the planet, or are you really that dumb?

 

Remember - once again - it is an OPTIONAL TAX ...... pay it and smile or buy a small less polutting car, simple as ...

 

You are quite right, it is optional, until it becomes compulsory for cars that are not Govn't approved. We've been forced to feel guilty for owning and driving cars, and the Govn'ts solution to placate that guilt is for people to pay tax. Agreed, taxing does help to change behaviour, to a point (Look at drinking and smoking), but it's not a solution to "save the planet for those that come". How will taxes stop our Sun from completely burning Earth to a cinder?

The logical conclusion from Govn't policy, for those of us that are ordinary taxpayers, is very bleak indeed. Humans will kill each other off long before any "human induced damaging climate change" happens.

 

Who's up for a revolution, I have a wall picked out and everything.

 

I think the prices we pay are disgraceful, we pay to tax our cars, 80% to fuel them, 17.5% tax to get them new, how much more I ask myself??? alot more until we the public refuse to pay it, then they wont be able to raise costs like they do!

 

We have a few cars that are alot less poluting thn my car but pay higher tax (Also older cars) £205

Imported cars dont get taxed on emisions.

 

well there is another option buy a crappy diesel that does 60mpg and less than 180g /km then for your performance buy a suzuki hayabusa and pay £64 road tax

 

is that right? presumably this wont apply to cars from the likes of Litchfields? what basis are they taxed on?

 

Mine's an import & it does! As earlier post(s) it depends on when they are reg'd in the UK. Anything after Mar 06 will be in Band G if over 225 thingumybobs ...

ahh, that makes sense then! thought it was too good to be true!

 

I was missinformed thn.
The older 1s are still cheaper to tax thn older UK models.

 

 

W.R.X. HAS to be PSL, surely? The clue is in the "rarely go over 3000rpm"
