If that’s a Duster they start at around €22k but not many buy the base model new. 
There’s huge VRT and VAT on new cars here. Even imports have ridiculous taxes.

After I'd walked the perimeter looking for their hut - when I'd walked within 50 ft of the desk in the terminal. 🤣 

Does 140 nicely the transmission does the blargh thing when you gas it - is that a CVT thing

Expand  

I’m not sure about the CVT thing. My current steed is a 300k mile Mk 2 Diseasel Focus.

Literally the only thing cheaper in Ireland now is the fuel. Otherwise it's expensive to buy, insure and tax 🙁

I'd still like to move home someday

Insurance and tax are both cheap for me but on the flip side I’m an old fart. Diesel is around €1.70/l at the moment.

Ah thanks, I’m not well up on these modernz. 

Base Jogger looks like around €25k. 

Madness.

VRT plus VAT seem to be 35-45% of the purchase price of a new car depending on emissions.

Jogger (Trim level Essential) here in Spain is 18040€ Black is standard colour.

1st registration costs for this car with WLTP is 0%  Because it runs on LPG. Issue is there are not many filling stations that one can use.

Moving on to a petrol engine (trim level Expression) then basic will cost  19550€ 1st registration cost will still be 0

The above costs do not include plates or fees to make the registration documents  in your name. I have no idea how much they are these days.

This makes me think of a thought I've had for a long time. I've often thought that Joseph and his technicolor dream coat in the Bible must be a mistranslation of a Hebrew then Latin text.

 

If you lived in a world where everyone dressed in a beige sack with a hood, then your mate turned up in a bright, multicoloured jacket, you wouldn't think, "I'm so envious of him. I'm going to beat him up."

You'd think, "Well, he looks an absolute fucking roaster. He needs a shoeing"

 

So the moral of the story is all wrong in the modern translations

All parables are metaphors I think. My favourite being the wedding feast turning water into wine - from which we learn that when you run out of drink get on your knees and pray!

It would make sense, and this modern enlightened age* that is most unsightly.

I've just had a chat with a guy i've not seen in a while, he was telling me he'd been to Donald Trump's golf resort in scotland

First night in the bar he ordered a pint of lager and a cheese and onion sandwich which came cut into 4 triangles with crisps and a small salad 

He reaches into his wallet then looks at the bill, shoves the £20 note he had in mind back in and went for his debit card instead, £42
