FUEL AND TAX PRICE PROTEST 19TH JULY
as some of you may have seen there was a thread started not so long ago about the rising prices of tax and fuel, and the backdated tax band which is out of order, regardless of how much you do or don't earn, why should you have to be bullied by the government because they know knowone will stop them.
in this thread https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...something.html
the chief said in this thread if we can get together at least 100 names then he will sort an official protest out.
so if you are not happy with rising fuel prices due to government tax reasons, and want to be involved in taking action, then put your name down below
thanks for your help.

Why would the government pay any attention to us? We drive gas guzzlers in their eyes, the lovely exhaust note doesnt help.
Think of how the general public would view it? It would be like a load of Mums in Range Rovers protesting against the 4x4 tax hike, if anything they be a target for the green brigade to egg.
Not trying to be negative here but I dont see how a load of impreza's is gonna make any difference.
That said - Im for it so my name is on the list.

i dont think it really matters what car or cars attend be it a fleet of imprezas or a fleet of skodas, it is more the point of making a stand to prove our point.
i fit helps i will even come in my mums 1.1 206 its about the price of the petrol which hits every car not just performance cars

to be fair it might be better if it was a mix of cars in the long run shows it is not subaru boy racer punks tw@ts etc etc which will more likely happen if we turned up in a fleet of 100 impreza's but insted just a group of people with the same common interest.

Also i think we need to target the main roads in to london not just the M25, But the M1, M4, M11, M20, M23, M40
we would need say 6 cars on each stretch on each side, so it would be a 2 row hold up to start. so no way of being pushed/road raged into a ditch (lol)
in total we would need 84ish cars to get this going
that should bring most major traffic going in and out of london to a halt, i now there are others a few busy A roads but we cant do it all
any opinions

silly as this sounds but if it gets to big it might get leaked out b4 it happens so it would not cause as much of a headache, if it were kept within a few forums to get enough numbers then made public it may come as more of a shock.
and be faced for a hell of alot of bad press though! to do with emergancy services not getting to burning buildings, people trapped in cars etc etc it will cause a few major events in other peoples lives other than not being able to get to work.

I agree it should be all cars/bikes/trucks etc etc
I do think as the numbers rise across all forums the powers that be will become aware and personally I don't think that is a bad thing as I wouldn't want little johnny not getting his replacement kidney on my concience !!
In fact it should be an across the board public protest and should go past (if you can get close) the houses of parliment !!!
I also think we should keep comments like this one on the other thread or this 1 will become full of comments rather than a growing list of supporters !!!

i think the chief is making a website at the moment. so for the minute just scoobynetters can sign on to it, if a website does get made then we can put links to that in lots of forums.
out of sight out of mind
