Wow, that's £58 more than my car!  :eek

Holy crap! I wish!

I just forked out £280.00 for my car  :'(

The main reason I have a small car (2004 ford fiesta 1.4TDCi £20 a year road tax) is because I am trying to save money. I was driving an Audi A4 2.0 petrol sport for the last couple of years but the road tax at £265ish a year and the fuel bills were just stupid. The fiesta is dull but for now it's the way it has to be. Just filled it up today £56 and I'd done just over 500 miles. The bike is for fun for me so it does seem stupid that the road tax for my bike is about £60. £40 more than the car I use almost every day.  :rolleyes

Of course the ridiculous thing is that I pay £0 for 12 months vehicle tax on my classic bike and even better than that, two mate have classic cars and also pay £0 for their vehicle tax/

One is a 3.0 Capri and the other has a MK1 Lotus Cortina and a Corsair with a transplanted modernish V8 engine with pretty much just the original bodywork left!

Gas guzzlers indeed yet their VED is free - work that one out!

How much is the tax on a twelve year old car that does 160mph and 0-60 in a little over 3 seconds?
Bet its a lot more than 78 quid. :b
I think its a bit of a bargain really. The wifes 2012 1.4 Fiesta Zetec is more than that, and BORING as fuck to drive. Goes round corners ok though. :evil
Dont tell her that though, she'll call me a 'mad lad'.

It hasn't been road tax for years, it's Vehicle Excise Duty now.

Certainly doesn't get spent on the road round here  :wall

Tax by any other name....cue Wikipedia ((Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) (also known as vehicle tax or car tax) is a [color=rgb(11, 0, 128)]vehicle road use tax[/color])
[/quote]

Try the DVLA for an accurate description, it is described as vehicle tax not road tax, as I stated it hasn't been road tax for some years when it was known as Road Fund License.

Wiki is quite frequently wrong.

While it's quite flattering having you follow me around trying to correct every post I make, it is getting a bit silly, especially as you are so consistently wrong.

Hilarious. :rollin being pedantic about wording doesn't stop tax being tax.

Quite like the Ford Capri, stock or modified? Pics ftw

And where did I say it's not a tax?

Once again in your mission to correct me you have made yourself look silly, I said it's not ROAD tax, it is Vehicle Excise Duty - in that it ain't spent on the roads.

Please go away now and obsess about someone else, I'm bored with you.

From memory it's a metallic blue 1970 (ish) face lifted model with 4 headlights, haven't seen it for a while but I think it's mostly stock with a few mechanical upgrades knowing him. He's not into facebook so no easy to get pics but I'll ask when I see him.

I'm not talking to you, you feel the need to comment on every post I make on every thread, like all bullys you just want to have the last word.

Look down on the floor, over to the left a bit, there it is, pick it up and put it back in, next time you spit your dummy out I might not be here to help you.  :rollin

You're funny.  For a troll.

[Chris]

But you did reply didn't you Si 

Chris

[Streetbudgie]

One troll on any forum is enough and we have one, he's called UG.

I'm sure you'll be along with your beloved Wiki description of a troll but as far as I know trolls don't contribute to forum discussions, they just try to take them off topic or destroy them altogether.

Have a look at your posts and then mine (I mean a proper look, not your usual speed read the first two lines then dash off a comment) and tell me who you think fits the troll description.

[Chris]

Wait a minute guys, the popcorn isn't ready yet  :lol

Chris

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

Oh oh default response when not In  agreement.

The budgie fella has a point

Ddtwelve....what cc of bike is that for cos I'm gonna have to tax the gixxer 750 soon

[simonm]

Turn the handle some more eh.

This is the first time in my life I've been called a bully so I'll not put much stock in it, especially from a tool, sorry troll.

you're right.this topic isn't worth my time. Unnotified.

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

Unnotified?

Is that like a talk to the hand type thing or what?


Uh uh girlfriend

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

Obviously I did the hand gesture there after I typed that, like thems do on jerry kyle lake kilroys show

I presume he means he won't look at this thread anymore. So, to summarise: He said something, someone else said something, they disagreed, he gave up and left the conversation.

Shame as the popcorns ready now, you want some tibs?
