The IRISH Thread
I have a buddy who claims that Motor Tax is going to be changed in the budget so that all cars are going to be taxed on the basis of emmissions - says it is an EU requirement! I've searched online but have found nothing. Anyone here heard anything about this?
If it is the case the S2000 will be in the €2k+ bracket so I hope he's talking crap!

If the revenue was being used to improve the road network then that would make sense - drive more, pay more! It would suit me for the S2000 (10k kms in 4 years!) but not so good for the vans - I run a small removal/delivery business!!
sure the 2 honda's i have accumulate <1500 in car tax alone
Well they'd obviously have to sort it with hauliers/drivers/taxi's in mind as well. A 50% customs return every quarter would suffice. I cant see this come in for awhile though which is annoying. I think we should all contribute to making it happen though, we should all go out and buy cheap 3.0l+ cars, drive them around for awhile without tax and if we get caught they can scrap them. Old crappy mercs, bm's, etc. Might get a 3.0 vtec Legend lol.







Really love how the car looks with it on.
