Anyone one can put these petitions up, nothing will come of this. It is only a beta aswell And it's already been posted.

Also I think you have missread this Peter, they want the gouvernment to move it back to the rolling 25 years like it used to be rather then pre 1972.

why shoud i pay £175 a year for a vehicle that only goes out to shows about 4 times a year??????? and is so old it desrves its free tax!

if they done a classic tax of around £15 a year then fair enouph for the amont of time i use the van! but £175 is a joke as it dont go anywere!

motorwise you use your van every day like i use the mk6 so thats fair enouph and then i am the same and dont mind paying for the mk6! :)

Have you seen a road after a load of horses have been down it :?: In the wrong conditions you can skid and crash on that stuff :!: It might be great for the roses, but it can be deadly for motorists :? :?
