Blimey, Bob, what happened to plans for the pilot's licence? Thought you were hatching a sheme to fly another Bob (Zimbabwe) out of his little local difficulty. :eek:

There may be some surprises regarding VED and cars up to 7 yrs old...
1999'er for me, thankfully...

...Tens of thousands of families will have to pay up to £245 extra a year under new road tax rules after a covert government decision to include cars up to seven years old.

The Treasury admitted to The Times last night that it was quietly abolishing the exemption for older cars from the highest rates of vehicle excise duty. This means that owners of larger cars bought since March 2001 will find that their road tax will rise steeply from next April.

The increases are being introduced in two stages, with many owners who are now paying £210 a year being charged £300 in 2009 and up to £455 in 2010....

oooer - for some!! Gonna be some abandonments I guess.
:rolleyes:

More :-
...Cars registered before March 1, 2001, will continue to be exempt from the higher road-tax rates. Many of these cars will become more valuable than similar models that are younger and have done fewer miles but are liable for double the road tax. ;)

The Treasury admitted yesterday that it had failed to make the tax changes clear in the Budget. A spokeswoman said:"It's not as clear in the Budget as it could be. It's not explicitly spelt out."

Justine Greening, the Conservative Treasury spokeswoman, said: "This is duplicity from the Treasury who deliberately failed to make any mention of this tax grab at the time of the Budget. Last year Gordon Brown promised not to backdate the CO2 charge on family cars to before 2006 and now he's broken yet another promise..."

Looks like a winner again folks... for some of us.

Gordon Brown... Out of Blairs shadow - into the abyss - too clever, even for himself...
:D
