It's fookin shocking stuff.

I wouldn't mind so much but we pay so much in fuel duty, on top of the road tax.

For what? The most expensive petrol in Europe and the ****tiest roads to drive on in Europe. We mst all be ****ing mugs to put up with it. If they tried this in France for instance, there would be all sorts of **** happening, blockades, strikes, protests.

Just going to take something for my blood pressure

My scoob was registered in 2006. I was still paying the pre-2001 price. Emma's 1998 type R was registered in uk in 2004 i think and is also in the pre-2001 price.

May be worth getting in touch with DVLA if yours is higher
