Many years ago i remember that prat livingstone saying  that " IF I EVER GET INTO A POSTION OF POWER IN LONDON I WILL  MAKE SURE THAT CAR DRIVERS WILL SUFFER FOR THE POLLUTION THAT THEY CAUSE TO THIS CITY"  and as he said it a bus passed behind the said prat and he dissapeared in a cloud of soot from a smelly dirty and old red bus. Boy did i laugh and did he look a compleat tit. Sadly that tit is in a positon of power now but hopefully not for too long.

when he ran the glc,he was called the loony left because of his extreme policies,most of his extreme policies are now implemented nation wide and accepted as the norm and give it 10 years congestion charging will apply to almost everyone on every road who isnt a pssenger on a bus!

I think that this forthcoming emission tax is a real bitter pill, of course for people in Marks position where the extra cost means the difference between owing a car he clearly values and all that means (really active knowlegable member of this forum that benefits us all, a strong social element through this forum in owning his omega, sense of pride and achievement in owning and maintaining a classic car).
All of the above are truly worth a lot in these days of overpriced bland tin boxes.

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 love my motor and while I can afford it I will not change the best when viewed from a 'Bang for Buck' 'Toys for Boys' and sheer 'affordable luxury' car I have ever owned.

I don't think anyone can sleep easy over this. Today London, tomorrow - who knows?

I'm so glad that I never need to drive into London despite living on the outskirts. When I do need to it's always by train and tube.

I agree with Kevin - the writing is on the wall for all higher emission cars where ever they live.

BUT as I said until I can't I will.
