WTF is going on with the tax
Just had a look on DVLA vehicle check thingamybob and it's coming up as 230 quid to tax my car. Is this correct? Last year before it came off the road I paid 185 of my hard earned.
If this is correct, all I can say is thieving barstewards.

Re: WTF is going on with the tax
I just checked lee, and that does indeed appear to be the case!
Used cars, registeted before March 2001, above 1549cc,
230 quid for 12mths!
They dont want us on the road mate, fact!
And for that extra 50quid, you get even dearer fuel, and ever increasing amount of jaw dropping wheel splitting potholes and a road surface like an albanian pikeys driveway!
Our government?
We're in it together you know? Ha ha!

Anyone got a damaged P4 wheel so I can take a pic of it next to a mahoosive pothole (not hard to find these days) so I can sue the council and get my bloody money back.

Mmmmm. Just got the renewal for my 82 Alfetta GTV6 and it's £225, I think about the same or very little more than last year.

Just checked looks like I'll be fitting a 1.2 engine in the 33

Re: WTF is going on with the tax
Aaargh.
Just taxed the Alfetta on line and it is now £230, £5 more than it said on the renewal notice.
Should have remembered, this happens every year.

Yes it goes up but the last time I taxed it was Sept 12. 45 quid since then........

Yes indeed, John. Just need to stamp the engine code from a 1.2 sud on there, the insurance numpties would never know

Re: WTF is going on with the tax
Insurance numpties would barely know what a Sud,Sprint,33 is, let alone what a boxer engine looks like or where to even begin finding a number on it.
i think we're safe with that one, just send the v5 off,
1500ti motors for all of us then,
a 1.2ti might be stretching things a bit if you get collared on the m6 at 110mph and pulling!
i knew i'd make use of the 1.3 SC badge at some point! ha ha!

Re: WTF is going on with the tax

put Ti on a car and the insurance companies will use it as an excuse to hike it up even more!

A GT moniker I can understand, but Tourism Internazionale?
Aside from those of us "in the know", the words International Touring are hardly synonymous with "pavement peeling performance" are they?

Re: WTF is going on with the tax

unless of course you use a specialist insurer that know full well the difference between yours and the GM Mini Hatch of old!

Re: WTF is going on with the tax
Absolutely - Adrian Flux every time for me. The only problem is that with all the modifications to the Green Machine I really ought to be insuring the car through Flux' custom car department. As it is, I have a long list of modifications lodged with the kit car department, and their insistance on calling the car a "Volkswagen Nova" means that the DVLA and motor insurance database entries don't match, so I can't renew my tax onlinepetrolhead wrote:you must have had a few strange questions or queries over yours being a Nova eh Lauren?
