Nothing I suppose? I can 'ave a moan , can't I?

Well whilst at Silverstone last Sunday, I saw a 10 plate Aston convertible, £950 RFL.

 

still want to moan?

Daft as it may seem its cheaper to tax my 51 plate 206 GTi than it is to tax an X reg one which is on the older tax system.

 

Oh and as well as the massive tax on the AM there is a big tax on the first registration too

bloody £205 for a years worth now!

 

On a plus side at least it'll keep all the uber dorks happy See, always a silver lining

and think themselves lucky they haven't got an 807!

Yep '01> tax for big emissions cars is insane!

 

Things like an E39 M5, and earlier one is massively cheaper to tax despite being an identical car!

It only costs me £68.75 to tax my little 1360 for 6 months.

 

Happy days!

Still only £17 a month, I dont see why they dont just stick the tax on fuel... More tax!

In the grand scheme of car ownership, car tax has never bothered me much. It's the insurance that I complain about!

I pay roughly twice as much a year in road tax than I do for insurance - now remind me, how many can I drive at once?

[GLPoomobile 958]

My insurance is 1.5 times the cost of road tax. Utterly irrelevant when I feel like I'd get more value by wiping my ass with the money either way.

Yes, why not! I run a VW Golf Mk4 130 TDi and thats only £125 per annum. On the other hand, I also run a group of LGV's varying from 10 to 26 ton gross. The '51 plate 10 tonne is £230 a year! and the 6 wheelers are about 400+. NOT relative! So why £205 for a Pug GTi! Rant over.
