New road tax VED rates to kill big classics?

I wish I could get a map update for the built in satnav but they dont make them past 2014 updates.

There's another bridge over the River Forth.

Other than that, nothing's changed.

Far more than that…

Dashboard Doris on our late-2011-built XTrail has never been updated from new.
There are quite a few places where I've been watching as we apparently cruise over fields or through buildings.

It's also quite amusing to see how many petrol stations have closed…

Unbelievable that this kind of scaremongering rubbish can get published, shared and believed but I guess it's done the job they wanted and gone viral despite being totally untrue.

The VED band for 2001-2006 isn't changing. I'm on of those who would be affected if it was.

Youtube is also littered with rage baiting videos from so called car 'experts' revealing this terrible news, which isn't.

The hard-of-thinking always fall for this kind of conspiracist scaremongering claptrap, because it suits their preconceptions.

It's precisely the likes of the Express and Mail survive, and how these choobers thrive.

Please tell me that the videos feature large red-faced shouty blokes sitting in their guzzlers, revving hard while gesticulating at the camera?

I don't think in relative terms (e.g. average weekly earnings) they are. A top of the range capri might have costed a years average earnings back in the day. The few models that might fetch the equivalent now will have had many times more than that spent on them since.
