If I was the Prime Minister, I would.............

[Grundig]

Back in the May of 94, Tony, Gordon & myself were discussing the party leadership over a meal in the Granita restaurant. We made a pact, in that Gord & me would leave the path clear for T, should he win the election, he would be leader for two years, hand over to Gord for a year then I would take over as PM for the remainder & into the next term. Anyway, T welched on the deal & Gord just fooked things up so I never got my chance   Had things worked out, what policies could I have put in that would be of greatest bennefit to all shiteists of autoshite ??? 

[Cavcraft]

Politics on Autoshite? What could possibly go wrong?

Ahem....

[londonm]

Certainly not the Labour plan to double the road tax for older polluting cars, a policy quickly dropped as we entered recession.

 

No doubt they'll put it through on their return.

[Partridge]

I would ban shit threads.

[Wilko220]

That was amusing the first time...

[Spiny Norman]

And we wonder why some new members don't stick around?

 

The fella's been here three weeks, cut him some slack FFS....

[cort16]

Fair point spiney Norbert.

Grundig, political threads have historically ended badly on this site. Usually someone deletes their account or accuses everyone of being communists. Its not a dig at you as much as the troublesome subject matter.

.....be your Führer!

[hairnet]

i come here to get away from that kinda shite

[drinksoptional]

give free steaks bakes on a friday

[warren t claim]

Repeal the seat belt law for pre 1981 cars so the owners can look cool driving them.

[oman5]

set up gun emplacements on roundabouts so snipers can take out the indicators of people who don't use them. then a loudspeaker comes on saying "now you have an excuse not to use it, fuckwit"

 

proof of purchase and v5 domument required for any vehicle used in banger racing.

 

re-introduce the rolling 25 year tax exemption.

[SambaS]

I'm sat in a newly acquired Recaro seat from a Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, listening to Dire Straits "You and your friend" on vinyl on a pair of Stanton ST-150s, through Celestion Ditton 150s.

 

Nite AS>

Well, if we're to take this seriously, I'd make sure the people behind "green" programmes like the scrappage sceme were taken out and "shot in front of their familes".

 

I also thought being shredded was part of the Autoshite Initiation Pogramme For Mew Members?

That was just for you!

You would have forced Top Gear to be about cars rather than wealth.

 

You would have created a new pricing system for petrol, where you pay more for it the newer your car is.

 

You would have blocked the sale of Rover to BMW, and offered it to Honda

Not sure about the paying more for petrol bit?

... As a noob I expected a few sniper shots from the established as is the norm on forums, but I think some got the wrong end of the stick. It was never meant as a serious political thread, also as a newbie I don't know what has been posted before (& the search wasn't much use (seems a lot of threads/posts have gone missing in the various outages ( this clunky forum has more downtime than 1970's British Leyland) I'll put more thought into any future posts

[FredTransit]

Cancel the LEZ and ban any future schemes

 

Reintroduce rolling historical tax.

 

Reduce the cost of PLG tax.

Wouldn't worry about it TBH. Welcome!

Though tread carefully with the 'clunky forum' comments!

[Partridge]

Ignore me, I'm the resident forum twat.

 

In all seriousness welcome, just make your threads are no more shit than mine.

Ban 'man bags'. Anyone caught with one should be repeatedly punched to the floor, the bag and contents burnt in front of them and they should be forced to replace it with a ruck sack or carrier bag.

[inconsistant]

As PM, you should also set up a 'Car Preservation Order' scheme, like wot they avz on treez.

 

Any make or model of car that is deemed interesting, historically important, rare, culturally significant or a 'social amenity' would need to be kept in good working order and especially not fucked about with.

 

There would be some sort of fines or something, for not doing so. I would imagine.

 

I'd start a thread asking for suggestions about what cars should have a CPO slapped on them, but I'm a noob and it might be a shit thread. {snigger}

A carrier bag can do many things. At the moment I'm doing a maths course at night school, and get disgutsed looks when I turn up with a Towsure bag and dump it on the table.

[londonm]

You're all communists.

[Tetleysmooth]

I'd ban all full face coverings whilst driving.

 

Topical, innit?
