If this was France people would be out on the street torching buildings.

Has anyone got more Vaseline I'm drying up...

Perhaps Lucy can setup and online petition to Brown and instead of marching, carrying a banner, raising awareness, we could click on a button?

My 119 g/km of CO2 diesel costs me £35 a year in road tax

Doesn't help you, I know, but it's the one consolation of driving such a nasty little car.

Looks like I get to keep my S reg VW forever now. Was considering moving 'up' to a 2002 or so automatic Honda...but will have to keep manually changing gears for a looonnnng time now.

Anyone want a P reg Mazda cheap?

Isn't thing going to drop the values of post 00 reg second-hand cars, and possibly increase slightly the values of older cars - particularily those with larger engines?

My car was registered in 2000, £200 tax for me rising with inflation so £4 a year if the BoE does it's job properly.

Are you sure the government will use its own figures for inflation?

On that page there's a link to a list of cars and bands, only thing is my model appears 5 times on the list. Anywhere else you can get a more descriptive/definitive list?

The increments are a bit strange:

20, 10, 60, 20, 30, 25, 30, 55, 40, 115, 35.

Couldn't they have come up with something even more random?

What happens if we buy a recent car then slap a big naughty V8 in it?
Does it have to be re-classed or are modified cars exempt?
