Just like the 7 million+ smokers stood up in uproar that the ban in smoking at public places:p . Not quite on the same par but once the old propaganda machine gets rolling there is no stopping them.

true but this is a wee bit diffrent, this is gonna cost people Xammount of thousands in lost cars etc as i very much doubt the government will compinsate those who have lost there cars due to being over 10 years old, know wot i mean :)

Signed.... if Brussels are seriously considering this, it's another example of pure idiot stupidity- how can replacing cars every ten years be 'greener' than keeping them on the road longer, reducing the enormous amount of waste involved in manufacturing a new one etc.... surely this one's been argued to the death by now?

Signed.

Can you imagine the knock-on effect of this legislation?

Garages, parts suppliers, showrooms, insurance companies, petrol companies.
thousands out of jobs as a result.

Also, who would then want to own a nine year old car knowing that it could be scrapped or over-taxed when it reaches 10.

Mind you, there'd be some cheap decent 9.75 year old cars available :D

Worst thing is, who would the New-age owners banter with if there were no Classics?


Joking aside, the more I think about it, the more disgusted I get.

There are a number of cities around the world where such bans already exist - however the difference is it only applies to heavy vehicles that belch and fart diesel particulates by the sack load.

Not usually private cars.

*cough*

lol will never happen calm down ladies

Im signing this one! I loved my Morris Minor

Cant see it happening to be honest as I'm shore the industry based on classic and old cars in general(parts suppliers ,restorers etc)in the country is probably quite big, doesn't look good for a government to destroy businesses and lose jobs, which is what would happen, I'm shore there's also a lot of government ministers and MPs with rich friends who like driving there classic cars, not to mention the Royal family's old Rolls and Bentleys....signed anyway you never know.

I don't want to tempt fate but I can't see a ban happening. There is too much emotion attached to the past especially in a country like Great Britain. We are the country of the old, having pubs that date back to before the dark ages so f**king with our cars is going to strike a raw nerve with quite a few people:mad: :brickwall.

I proposed on another thread a go slow on the M25 in protest of the increase in road tax but few got behind that:(:confused: .

Do you want to see your Liberties eroded by power hungry half wits?

sign the petition and prepare for action if need need be:mad:

:razz:

I fecking hate new cars, it's impossible to fix them yourself when they go wrong:( as a result, i currently own:

1978 Honda CB550K
1986 Ford Sierra XR4x4
1991 VW Golf GTi 16V
1994 Subaru Legacy Turbo

So unless we get a government with some backbone, that'll be me screwed then:rolleyes::(

Great support, just what I expected :-

Signatures: 8,794 :eek2:

How many of you have shown off your email from No.10 Downing Street ? :D

signed and sent round:thumb:

Your not gonna get to many people signing up for a go slow on a subaru website.:lol1:

Signed :thumb:

so building several hundread million new cars extra is more enviromentally friendly than perhaps using a car for 20?

righto, stop talking out yer arse

signed no 8809 and if he walks out in front of me i will show him what a classic feels like

Don't be too sure. We're seeing a slow but steady erosion of our civil liberties in this country... just last week it was revealed bailiffs were to be given increased powers of entry into people's houses, surveillance by CCTV and other forms is rife etc etc... shocking though it sounds now, it's not beyond the realms of imagination that in a few years time government inspectors could be knocking on the door of some old chap and towing away his beloved E-Type to be crushed.
