It does, it will cost no more to tax than a 2.0 Mondeo  ;)

Heavy tax bracket (400 quid+) affects cars registered after March 2006

Very nice cars, awesome seats, soooo comfy!

Petrol certainly isn't going to get any cheaper, so if you're going to own a big V8, now is definitely the time to do it..

Before petrol is £3 a litre and we're all driving invalid carriages to work.

You could consider the Tata Nano before resorting to an invalid carriage. :y

I don't know, I was quite looking forward to driving one of these (points for anyone who can identify it):

Came across this while looking at the monaro:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Lotus-Carlton-3-6-TWIN-TURBO-37-868-MILES-/170539213520?_trksid=p4340.m8&_trkparms=algo%3DMW%26its%3DC%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D6%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1406909648224278734



Is it just me or do the wheels and tyres look too small for the arches?. Surely an icon like the Lotus Carlton should fill them out a little more.  :-/ :-/

I see your point but this was a 90's car based on an 80's design & that's how things were then & it would be sacrilege to put low profile arch fillers on a car like this.

  I'm not a fan of huge wheels with tiny profile rubber. I think they look silly & lacking in taste...vulgar even, that said i am an ageing luddite & wheels can be changed in minutes. Main thing is the car is serviced & valeted regularly. :y
