Okay I put my sad hand up. I own a gas guzzler.. I'm into my third mid life crisis (this week!) and have a 3 litre soft top...... I drive maybe 50 miles a week in it and so use little fuel, produce minimal pollution and road wear and yet I pay out a bloody fortune in road tax !!!!! Somebody in a low taxed pope mobile can cover a squillion fog producing miles a year and pay peanuts in road tax. How is that logical, environmentally sound or fair? A fuel tax instead would be self regulating. I'm not going to blast around with my foot to the floor with 25mpg am I? If I do then I'm going to pay proportionally more than my softer footed neighbour.... just the way it should be. ....... rant over, nuff sed.

ps I've had many sensible, boring cars in my life and the Beemer is my well earned penile extension, medallion man treat late in life..... and it's F_A_N_T_A_S_T_I_CCCCCCCCC so there !!!!!!
