Done!

I don't want necessarily free tax but at least reduced, in line with other European countries, in Italy you pay 35euros for classic cars...... but free would be nice too :wink:

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but I think we have no chance of this ever happening in our lifetimes, in fact Mr Cameron may do the opposite...

George Osbourne - "Dave we have a petition here from that Nigel Kennedy wannabe to get his Alpine free road tax?"

David Cameron - "Eh? What's the crack at the moment Georgy Baby?"

GO - "Well any car built before 1st Jan 1973 gets historic road tax for free"

DC - "WHAT!! Free, sod that Georgy, so all these old clapped out cars with mahoosive CO2's are running around for free? What year is the French Ferrari?"

GO - "1989"

DC - "No chance in fact scrap the whole Historic Road tax thing and make everyone pay like everyone else. More money in the coffers George :wink: "

Or something along those lines :shock:

In fact It does not have to be free but at least representative of the milage done on the roads.

If they charged me a £100 a year that would be better than a kick in the fruits :lol: :lol: :lol:

Done too.

One of the reasons the government support was high for it originally was supposedly because a lot of Conservative ministers had classic car collections..... anything to save a penny or two. It's either that or scam your expenses :wink:

Total waste of time ...wake up and smell the reality boys....The whole petition system is set up to make you think you have a voice but in fact you are all mushrooms :lol: :lol:
When was one of these ever debated in the commons ????

I prefer to focus my efforts on my tax return :wink:

To be fair Northern Chum apparently it just takes 100,000 votes and it must be discussed in parliament by law. I bet this happens at 5 to 5 in the afternoon when only 3 backbenchers and screaming lord sutch are left behind.

All I am saying (tried to be jovial by the way but yet again a lead baloon moment :roll: ) is to be careful what you wish for in these uncertain times.

Take the pension age for Women for example:

Man - Why are women allowed to retire earlier than blokes? Can we retire at 60 as well please on full pension?

MP - You are spot on thanks for pointing it out. Decision - make everyone retire at 65!

The same thing happened on the car insurance Men V's Women also....

Yes it must be 'discussed ' ...on a smaller scale how many things have been discussed on this here forum and to what end ( given you are now a power that be I will leave that hanging .....)

OK , will now tootle off and find out how many have been tabled since inception ....don't hold your breath .


Uncertain times ? In my experience my own fortunes have never played ball with the times and political bent .
