Just checked my Reg Doc....my 2001 2.2 was registered on 1st June .  Why is it every time I save up and buy myself a nice bag of chips, some barsteward goes and pisses all over them.  The easy targets just get sucker punched every time!!

  Yes, doing it retrospectively is plain disgraceful.  Its one thing putting the tax up on new cars - you can make a decision not to buy one,  but on existing vehicles its grossly unfair - and will have no effect on emissions whatsoever as the car already exists.  Barstewards just picking on easy targets I'm afraid.

It is the retrospective bit I detest, make your feelings know - do you have a communist MP?

Dont know if I have a Communist MP.....but the more I think about this the less I believe they should be allowed to get away with such retrosective stuff.  And this was supposed to be a softly softly Budget,  god help us when he decides to get tough, T**T

just be greatful the Liberals don't stand a hope - they'd be even worse - closet commies

[ricardo1500]

Bottomline is no matter who gets in (including the lot I vote for) no one has got big enough balls to sort out the real issues, so just milk the easy targets to plaster over the cracks and prop up the crippled state systems tht are just beng abused....thats it Im off for a lie down!!

Very true. And that's probably why they're unelectable. One of the reasons, anyway.

I have a feeling they even believe the climate change carp, rather than just milk it as a revenue raiser like the current government.

To all my subordinates.

I am the master, you are my servants.  Stop whinging at my puppet's budget.  We know what's best and you will all do as I decree.

Just cough up; afterall, my government know how to spend your money far better better than you do.  What I need you all to do is to keep your gas guzzling cars so that you pay these hefty duties.  If you all start to 'go green' and trade them in - getting tin pot cars, I'll only have to decide to punish these car users too.

You (Joe Public) really are so damn thick - and have memories of goldfish.  You'll still vote me and my talentless cronies in come the next election.  Even if you don't, my big fat pension means that I'm alright - thank you Jack.  I'm so glad my pension is safe - unlike the one's I ruined back in 1997.

If you don't like it, join us politicians.  There's more than enough gravy in the train that passes for more greedy self centred people.

Well Gordon, please come out of your ivory tower and stand on the streets of London saying what you say and i am sure you will be back in Scotland without having to use a gas guzzler. I wonder if you will call an election next year, i doubt it as your popularity has just taken a nose dive, please also pass on my regards to your Mr Darling he has done wonders with this new VED, hopefully this will get our national health back on track...we can all hope. because its a rather cert that it will not go on roads.

Kindest regards

Your loyal servent, sucker and thick Tw"t

Now I no I am paranoid but just done this for the wifes Volvo, late 2001 S40 T4 Auto 200bhp Yes they want £400+ for road tax, however do it on the manual and they want £300 for same car same year same horsepower.
That can't be right.

If I meet a labour supporter tonight there is going to be an accident.

Looking at this does this confirm or deny that with a 2001-2006 car the new car tax rules apply ti us or not.

I read it that we are safe, but please point out if I am wrong.
