Only 2 groups for pre 2001 cars.

* Less than 1400cc
* Great than 1400cc

Can't remember how much it is even though I own a MKII GTI :grin:

Thats just stupid.

He's going to sell his car, buy another one which he will undoubtedly spend some money on all to save around £100 a year?

My Passat V6 TDI costs me £215 a year to tax and does 37mpg. A 1.9 TDI would cost around £135 to tax and do 50mpg. The 1.9 would be alot cheaper to run, but the money that I would have to spend to change and improve the 1.9 would buy a lot of tax discs and diesel for my V6.

Road tax has gone up £25 in 6 months, WHERE IS THIS f**kIN' MONEY GOIN'? I know it's been said a lot, but when is this money gonna go into repairing the roads? I seen a few facebook groups about "get British roads sorted with British road tax" and stuff, but are there any actual plausible petition floating aroudn?

If there is one id sign it! aslong as it stated the roads would be repaired properly and not just "theres a pothole lets fill it with some tarmac so it will be f*cked again after 3 cars have driven over it"!  :angry:
