Looks like the government has realised and woken up to the fact of the economic crisis and decided to delay the hideous plan.

Nothing wrong with the new corsa they've always been about the bubble shape, apart from the corsa a (Nova to the majority) which was more square.

Will this affect make vts owners a bit happier then? :y: I wonder if this is to make way for the new tracking scheme charging £1.30 a mile (maximum) :n:

Can you immagine the chaos of 1.30 a mile. Look at the protest when fuel went up a penny. Lorry drivers bombarded the motorways etc. I think its scare tatics tbh.

I didn't know they were planning to make pre 2001 cars with an engine displacement larger than three litres in the highest band. I thought it was just post 2001 cars. That would mean the TVR would be £440 a year to tax :n:. There's no way I would pay that to tax a car that only comes out on weekends with good weather and thats on a 3000 mile a year limited mileage insurance policy. I kick out more emmissions in the saxo in a year than the TVR

Which is why they should scrap road tax altogether, and put a SENSIBLE increase on fuel duty. that way if you use more fuel by either higher mileages, or by huge engines with poor mpg, or even by booting it, then you pay more tax. Simple really. Maybe I should stand for next election, couldnt do any worse
