My nearly 6ltr US V8 is that much.Some people pay £250 a year just for their road tax, whereas mines £30.
My 2007 3.2 V6 Alfa is over 700 . . . emissions figures . . . the temptation to buy a newer lower emissions ebay non-runner . . .

£700 road tax??
I suddenly feel much happier spending £250 to keep my Mundano on the road.
I dread to think what road tax will be for the 5.7 litre trike when/if it ever gets sorted.

£700!!!!
. Thats only for so many years on a new vehicle, then dropping down to more 'sensible' level though, surely? Makes my £395 look almost acceptable....
Anything like my Caterham - as an amateur built vehicle, it is a falt rate, not emissions based - so is somewhere in the 250-300 - I pay monthly so I can simply chop it off when I SORN it when the salt arrives.£700 road tax??

My Disco 2 had water cooled seatbelts. Sunroof leaked down the b pillar and came out the upper seatbelt mount. Much to my wife's displeasure it predominantly happened on the passenger side going round the first left hand turn after being parked up.

Got to be careful...I was looking at a 2008 2.5l petrol recently....fortunately I did an HPI and it showed the VED as £675£700!!!!
When I bought the Alfa I never even thought about it. Two coaches later, I was in Swindon from Yorkshire, seller picked me up in his new Alfa, I transferred money, then went to tax it . . . several hundred quid 8 yrs ago . . . I nearly had a fit - I'd bought, insured and taxed cars for less!Got to be careful...I was looking at a 2008 2.5l petrol recently....fortunately I did an HPI and it showed the VED as £675
I just keep telling myself, like today in nasty weather, it's a nice, pleasant, warm, secure place to be - heated leather seats, nice radio, drive to all wheels, 6 spds, nice V6 (even if its a GM engine) . . . but come the definite return of the gritters to the depot next year, it'll be back to the bottom of the garden and the Lancia will be back out

Used to be a very trusting border there - relied on you diverting to show your UK passport to Canadian immigration - coming back was a rather different - US customs known for pulling cars apart on occasion!

were the tyres screech when cornering on dirt,
I'd be inclined to say they had a puncture which Special Effects turned into a blevey.
Picture here is a minor parking bump...

My new Body Control Module arrived today, well wrapped and packed. I clipped it into the holding rack thing and went out in the bitter cold 3c to do battle. It didn't fit.
Back into the house, look at photos I took before, wrack my brains, picked up the phone to call the guy....
...then had a brainwave.... dickwad here had clipped it in back to front.
Anyway, once over my little brain fart it all went together swimmingly and everything appears to work as it is meant to, lights, engine, controls et al.
The radio has lost it code after being disconnected from the battery. Strange, it didn't do that when I was pulling it all apart with the battery unhooked, though it did the last time I replaced the battery 2 years ago. I bought a code off some guy on ebay, can't remember what it was now though.
