Road Tax Increase

Postby Les » Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:26 pm

HI There,
Does anyone know how the proposed road tax increases will effect our Transits?I notice that 2.2 diesel Landrovers tax will go up by £60.
Regards Les.

thats right my roller skate as you call it is 1.7 turbo diesel astra !!!
not the fastest car in the world but it can nip on while returning 58 mpg.
On one foot I have this and the other the van so have a cheap car tax and an expensive one in the van and my carbon footprint is ok :lol:

i have to agree with you and the 8.2 litre sounds a goer. Was talking to someone last night about owning a zil truck so am with you on the carbon footy thing except I may have planted 2 acres of trees ! maybe am a bit confused

right on brother, I'm off to look at a car with a V6 2.7 auto tomorrow to replace my 2.4 auto, comfort before economy. Tax aviation fuel, aircraft, and container ships - they are the 'real' polluters!
