Re: Anybody think their car tax is expensive?
we no longer have a safety inspection, emissions testing is required once a car is 4 years old, and every 2 years afterwards. Is that why the cars on pimp my ride were always in such a dreadful state? most of them were what would be considered scrapyard fodder over here :lol: Why no safety inspecti...

Re: Anybody think their car tax is expensive?
I live near NY City in New Jersey. Right I am paying, in Northern New Jersey, the equivalent of 53-57p per liter, depending on what grade of fuel ($3.25-3.49/US Gallon). We don't have road tax here, registration costs about $75 a year, we no longer have a safety inspection, emissions testing is requ...

Re: Which budget buy?
Well I have taken the plunge and bought a Rover. However is is a little more modern in the shape of a 75 CDT SE. At the price is was going for (under £500.00), it is a bit of a bargain. Needs a little TLC, but mechanically it appears to be spot on. As an aside, I decided it would be prudent to join...

Re: We're going into libya!
if there is so much oil in reserve why is it so naughty word expensive? Becaue it's traded on financial markets and a lesson was learned very quickly in 2008, it is largely price inelastic. I have filled my BMW at prices anywhere from 79c/Gallon in 1999 to $4.59/Gallon in 2008. That's roughly anywh...

Re: What Cars Have You Owned?
God.. more than I can honestly remember. I have a bad habit of owning way too many cars at one time and constantly buying and selling them. Being in the car business and having access to wholesale markets is NO help. I have personally owned as many as 12-15 cars I think. First car was a 1982 528e 5-...

Ethanol is a scam, it's down to corn subsidies that farmers over here get. Also explains why everything here is sweetened with that evil horrible High Fructose Corn Syrup instead of Sugar.

Re: We're going into libya!
If the only reason that we get involved in these military interventions is oil then can someone please explain our involvement in the Balkan crisis? Also if all we are doing is trying to secure our future supplies of oil then I suggest that we wouldn't bother to get involved at all. It doesn't matt...
