Agreed, personally I will be making some small sacrifices here and there to get the car I want next...just where I choose to spend my money (after the mortgage is paid and food is on the table of course).
Sorry, yes do smoke and buy elsewhere. Helps alot living near to a large port with ferries to the continent!

Oh yes remember this now.

So potentially £950 to register a high output CO2 new car. What's the betting the dealers compensate with some discount/extras.

It's all an effin con anyway...
I used to think this even though my present and past two cars are in the highest VED bands but then I thought what about all the lorries that transport our food etc to the supermarkets. If their costs spiral for example, who is going to pay..............us surely in increased food/goods prices.

So ultimately it's all bollocks imo. Just another way of screwing us with more taxes.
