Looks like the top Car tax is going to hit us STI owners as he has set it to 250g/km 01-05 & 06 STI's are greater (dont know if earlier cars are)

Yep, looks like another £20 down the drain. Its hardly likley to deter most people from running this sort of vehicle though as its a drop in the ocean compared to the total yearly running costs.
I was hoping for a tax Rover drivers over the age of 70 ( roughly 95% ) but maybe next year.

I could have sworn I heard Gordon (stealth tax) Brown say that the tax on wagons was going to double - the reason being that they have a greater volume than "normal" cars.
Or maybe I didn't .....

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/...eport_2320.pdf
On page 209 or 210 or 211 there is a table A4a sets out the new levels of tax
Looks like its only going up on New cars

I am having a great day, this just about tops it off after the NIP I got in the post tonight for 81 in a 70.....

The log book for my import doesn't have a CO2 figure. (registered april 2002)
Should be interesting when the missus taxes it for me tomorrow or monday.
Anyone know how imports stand on this??
