i got ya:thumb:

It is - and the STi is very very naughty :nono:

yeah and my sti is twice as much. doh, + its due next month, doh doh

:brickwall:mad: ouch lee

Don't suppose anyone has looked at what an 03 STI will be 2010 - 2011? 12 months and 6!!

There has been a lot of controversy over the rebanding of the vehicle tax due to people being penalised on cars they bought years ago, there's a fair few people with large families with MPV's etc that can't afford to change their car to get a less poluting one and doubling their road tax is a significant cost.

This has a knock on effect to us as the vast majority of us have a car registered before march 23rd 2006 are limited to being in band K so road tax will rise to £245 for 2010/11 what happens after then is anyones guess.

Those of us that bought a car in band G are considered fair game by the lentil eaters as they knew it had a very high co2 rating and bought it anyway.

There's some info on the government website here Changes to Vehicle Tax from April 2010 : Directgov - Motoring

Remember next year will have a general election so none of them will be trying to upset anyone so I shouldn't expect too much to change until they have their foot in the door.

Fingers crossed they limit all cars registered before band G was introduced to band K as I actively sought a hawkeye wrx that met this cut off date, mine was registered on 10th March 2006 so it may help protect my resale value, not that I'll be selling anytime soon!
