Default Forced to change mind by budget

Have ordered myself a Forester 2.5XT.

Chancellor has increased road tax, and going to have to pay an extra £40 ish due to high emissions.

So have done the decent thing......



Phoned the dealer and asked them to prodrive it.

I think that's only reasonable. Might as well get a decat put on as it won't need MOT'ing too...

Was at Motorsport wheels yesterday and they had a set of 22" Overfinch alloys ready and waiting to go on one Cost....£3000 +vat They had the tyres in to do another 2 next week, and a set of 23's waiting for a guy to choose his wheels

I don't think these people will be at all affected by Mr. Browns thievery

yeah it not really going to affect is it ?
Personally of the opinion that I decide to buy a Range Rover Sport I'm not going to be put off by the tree hugging lefties that moan abaout 4x4's or the amaount of fuel it consumes ! I will buy it because I want it !
