All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

The gov are completely misled in their car tax laws, they don't understand that our love of cars keeps a whole side industry going. If they continue to squeeze then less old cars, less requirement for auto engineers / classic market.
If you're lucky enough to afford this climate sacrificial luxury, then for me it will only force me to go out and drive more or it may force an eventual sale.

Btw, happy new year!
