I have two cars over 225.
The S for fun which doesn't seem like so much fun now with these taxes and the possibility that it is unsaleable, and a people carrier which is my 'van' for my business.
It seemed like a a good idea to have one dual purpose vehicle for the business instead of a van and a people mover but it seems people with big families, or those who want to move big stuff around are going to get badly hit.
I think we might see a lot of very overloaded small cars in the future or very underpowered large ones. Here comes the 1950's.
Looks like I might have to get a box trailer and pull it with our Ka.
In fact, now I come to think of it buy shares in trailer companies.
I think we will see a lot on the road in the future

Us minions are getting above our station wanting quality, luxury fast cars.
They should only be for the very rich and MP's (who's costs are paid for by us)
You will soon be able to see the class divide:
Very rich= driving
Average man= walking (or if lucky driving a pos)
I' ve been trying for reduced tax as my S is partial electric (wipers)
If I pay more for my road tax should the people who pay less have to give way?
Should we have our own lanes so the slow eco cars dont hold us up, so we dont produce emisions waiting behind them?

Ditto with the CRV we bought a few months back.
