I have a plan and need your help !
Gordon Brown and the berk with the ludicrous eyebrows want us to pay over 400 for tax on a car that can be worth about the same amount.
So, lets rebel !!
The new tax laws are only applicable for cars registered after March 1st 2001. The likelyhood is that once they see the increased revenue from this move they will roll back that date even further. So, lets think about it. What is realistic ? Only 10% of cars on the road are pre 1998 and as such they are unlikely to go back further than that.
So, am I saying we all rush out and buy pre 1998 cars ? Well.........yes, in a way.
What are the issues in doing this ?
The biggest and probably the main reason for not doing it is reliability.
The trouble with main dealers and many garages these days is that they employ people born after many of the cars on the road were registered ! thus these mechanics, through no fault of their own, dont know how to maintain older cars. I was actually asked by a "mechanic" what a carburettor was !!!
So, we, the older car users, tax evaders ( legally ), sensible, grumpy older men and women, need a network of reliable mechanics and garages that can help !
We thus get to my plan. We start a movement, a rebellion if you like. We build a nationwide database of garages that specialise in older car maintainence, reliable, trustworthy mechanics who may otherwise get left behind by the Halfords generation who prefer blue washer jets to a pair of Webbers !
I will be adding to this as I plan more.........mail me if you like.
