Default ban cars over 10 years old

The Government comedians/idiots are up to it again,
Apparently there are talks of banning or restricting cars over 10 years old.
link is to the official E-petition

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Classic-Cars/#detail



These idiots are meant to represent us not incarcerate us

This does not affect any S2000 owners yet, but it would, in future especially since the S2000 is been tipped to be one of the next collectors classic cars.

Kind of silly, as the environmental impact of constantly replacing cars must be quite large

In energy terms; about 100x the energy it will use in its lifetime. (IIRC)

Bit like energy-efficient boilers.

They are like childern throwing a tantrum, these ego-whores; it's attention-seeking.
