i dont really undestand the governments logic with the tax if im perfectly honest, infact i think the whole system needs redone, along with fuel prices ect we are getting hit awfully hard and in the grand scheme of things its not going to help the country in the future, sort it now before heavy shoe tax's come in and we get airflow sensors fitted to us so they can charge us for air to breathe lol

im certainly not giving my car up to the government. I'm only 23 myself, and earn about 19k before tax. I'm more worried about insuring it! Living in one of the worst class postcode area's, im paying 1400 to insure this car and i have 4 years NCB. Thats almost 3 times the amount i was paying on my previous car! (1.7 puma)

I get 340 odd miles to a tank if doing mainly motorway journeys.......I get more like 250 around town keeping it below 3000rpm and with a V6 that eases up to 3000rpm quickly and with no fuss that is bloody boring lol.
