It wouldn't be so bad but I tend to think of money in terms of car parts, so I am thinking to myself I could of had a front mount for that tax hike !

This is going to be a huge pot of money which will suddenly be available to Gordon Brown, in all seriousness what is it going to be used for ? building terminals at heathrow so we can melt a few more ice caps

Just another fasion tax, its fasionable to shout your mouth off at how we need to cut carbon emissions blah blah.

I wouldnt mine but the cars that were manufactured since 2001 are the most economical that we have ever had. I wonder whats better for the environment? A 2006 ford fiesta 1.25 or a 1990 fiesta with a 140k mile oil burning CVH in it?

Whats wrong with these c*nts?

Most modern cars have cleaner air coming out of em.

Methanol and toluene are even cleaner than normal gas too!!

Good engines those 1.3 CVH's mate

I just can't reconcile the logic behind it, people who can afford it will simply pay. Come to think of it so will those that can't so nothing changes except the amount of money creamed off in the name of being environMENTAL
