Following our dear Chancellor Gordon's recent pronouncements about dreadful 4x4's and high powered sports cars, am I the only one wondering what the implications for us S2000 owners are?
After all with 237 gms/km of CO2 coming out of our backsides we are in the present top Band G.
Less demand for S2000's? Lower trade-in prices? Much higher road tax?
DOOM and GLOOM!!
Maybe our passion for these cars is about to become much more expensive.

I can't say I'm too bothered at the present time - I would imagine those who really appreciate the car would stump up the cash regardles..
