They pay the surcharge still. And the free after sixth year is going.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/654884 Yes, the PT Cruiser is absolutely horrible to tax – for just 240g/km and a car that has done 14,000 miles in 16 years at current rates it would have contributed £11,440 in tax. When a 2010 Citroen/Ford/whatever HDI or VW diesel could have covered 150,000 miles and cost nothing while putting out serious levels of pollution (and it's worth bearing in mind the DPF doesn't really clear pollution, it cleans up the tailpipe until the car is at extra-urban speeds then dumps a shitload of it in the countryside).

The stupid thing is these bands were based on CO2 for emissions reasons – and all the free VED DPF-equipped diesel shitboxes that pump out more NOx and particulates than any V8 petrol beast are still getting free or cheap road tax - and a new car made with zero shits given about CO2 because ££s is £180 a year after the high first few year rates. Most Euro 4 petrol cars are cleaner than even the latest Euro 6 diesel in real terms 😕

I've always been tempted by them, but then the Volvo C70 exists...

That looks like the height for 17 degrees C... I appreciate it's been warm, but has it been that warm?

How's the inner wing/bulkhead/plenum interface? I remember a very impressive Nova resto on the blue forum and it was that three-layer fiddly area near the A-pillar that seemed to be the utter bastard of a job.

Found this one again: Oy. Wake up... Anyone in? Guess not! Sills and wheel trims not fitted as I need to see if I can get them to send new door windows - the winding mechanism is shite. Also I think an overhead light LED has gone walkies at the plug end but now the plugs are sealed in a rear arch well...

That Canada licence plate...!

This actually looks like a real ad! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1094036811861191/?ref=browse_tab

See, I've been working on the basis that you were offered it and no-one else should be looking 😂

That Woody looks excellent! But the Camaro... that would probably tip me over to selling the camper if there was a Camaro to walk past every day to tempt me. It'll make the Astro feel very at home though!

That's probably a good thing. The Deville looks gorgeous now I peer at the picture but I couldn't afford it, realistically. The Riviera would be perfectly fine to put a projector in the garage and play GTA:Vice City in first person mode in.

Yes. Interested. Sort of vague glance at the Deville but I am very much into coupes or wagons, and I was rather envious of this one when you posted it.

I love that 480 so much. Also I'm wondering if I saw a spotted pic of it on Twitter...

When I started collecting computers a Dr. Horace Bernard-Smith gave me his Apple IIgs and paperwork collection, and I picked up some Apple ///s on the same trip. It was packed up to the roof on the back seat... My Jetta Syncro looked stanced at the back and they have half the boot space to fill!
