Given the above sentiments there may be a temporary upside albiet not for Mark (although I hope he can reconsider) - you may find more omegas coming on the market which may bring new members - probably people for who the emissions tax will not have such a drastic effect, this may also bring more donor omegas on the market to keep the cherished car market supplied.
I don't think anyone can sleep easy over this. Today London, tomorrow - who knows?

Actually, I recall someone (TVR owners club or Pistonheads IIRC) doing a procession past his house a few years ago - or at least talking about it. :-/

Nope. He probably won't allow it into his "Low Emission Zone".

What about my 2000 registered Westfield on a "Q" plate that doesn't even have a cat, crankcase and fuel tank both vented to the atmosphere? [smiley=evil.gif]
There's an option for you....
I can see a revival in classic V8 powered cars if this keeps up.
Until they ban them completely.

Take your mind off the MOT. Just think about the bathroom.

Is it worth getting them to check it the other way round in their rollers to see if the other side fails this time? 
Did you find anything conclusive, or just strip and reassemble?
Good luck

After my first drive in an MV6 those were the seats I was having. So much more support when "pressing on". 8-)

Definitely not a good time to invest in residential property IMO.
Not purely to invest, no. However, an alternative view is that if you need somewhere to live, does it really make sense to be renting and paying off someone else's mortgage just because you think there's going to be a downturn? Renting is money down the pan whichever way you look at it. Paying off a mortgage, even during periods of low or negative equity, is securing your position in the housing market if nothing else.
Buying your primary residence is a relatively long term investment, if you can call it that. Is there much difference today between the financial positions of those who bought houses in 1988 and those who bought in, say 1993?
I'd say get on the property ladder when it's the right time in your life to settle down and no later. The longer you leave it the harder it'll be.

PS I should add that if you already have debts, then consolidating them is definitely a good idea...
.. as long as you cut up the old credit cards and bin them. So many people I know have "consolidated" and then spent up to the limit on their credit card(s) again. Exactly what the banks want them to do, of course!
