    I'd love to have seen that, never seen more than one at a time.

  • My guess is that Petrol will be £1.40 (diesel more) by April adding more to your shopping bill as transport costs surge. :mad: I'd dump the car (do less than 6,000 a year) but I've got dogs and they need transporting.

  • Hello, I haven't seen one of these invalid cars for years. They had a two stroke engine that today would make any MOT tester have a heart attack when he checked the emissions!!

    On a funny note it does remind me of Top Gear and the 3 wheel Reliant tipping over at every corner!!

    Or more likely, the OP edited his OP at 09:16 -adding the reason for edit to correct the VAT rate, after being alerted to an error in the VAT rate in the OOP (Original, Original Post)

    Prices will soon be 128p / 129p unleaded then

    My gas will be 63p :(
    Gas in Northampton (Shell) is already 74.4pp/l!
    BP near M1 is £1.309 for desiel today!
  • Filled mine up today, though I must admit that I am lucky as diesel where I live is only 124.9 a litre and that is from an Esso garage :)

    It is getting silly now - will be interesting to see how the public react as I think this could be the thing which causes big problems for the coalition.
