Mini Petrol Powered Corvette 'Go-Kart' For Sale (7ft Long) On UK Ebay

Here's a hint. Post at the bottom, snip the sigs and try not to post under the sig-separator, which means your rantings will be invisible to most people.

Thanks for confirming that 'model years' have nothing to do with the year of manufacture or year of registration.

It's taken a while, but you got there in the end.

He was wrong? You guys are all painting yourselves into corners over this model/registration year thing. Some of you are saying that you

*never* refer to the year (see PVM above) and others are saying that a 1995 car first registered in 2006 is a 2006 car. If that amounts to me paying the stupidity card, then more fool you for picking it up...

Eh?

You still don't understand, do you?

We don't give a toss about 'model years' - which appear to be a marketing ploy to get stupid people to part with money. From what I can see, generally the difference between this years' and next years' model is that they've changed the font on a switch or something equally trivial to be able to advertise it as a new 'model year'.

We just refer to stuff by the year it was registered. It really is that simple. None of this 'registered in September 2006, but it's a 2007 model' bollocks.

I don't understand the *different* things you are all saying. I wish you'd make your minds up.

So PikeyVanMan was wrong?

Read his post again.

Or was it too complicated for you?

That is absurd. So if you buy a 1980 vehicle (as an investment) and leave it in a garage and never registered for use on public roads; 20 years later when you change your mind and register it for the first time it becomes a

2000 vehicle? You have got to be a troll looking for a pissing war in the car groups. Nobody could be that stupid. ^K

Yes, that's exactly how it works. Although, if you can prove the year of manufacture, I believe you can apply for an age-related plate for the vehicle.

Um - nobody's arguing that at all. If you think they are, then you've missed the point rather well.

With all due respect, I am calling *bullshit* on this: From the thread:

OK, I did. He says you only *ever* refer to a car by its model/type/designation. You're contradicting him.

It's too complicated either for you or for PikeyVanMan, that's for sure.

Maybe you and he need to get together and come up with a unified theory of some sort? Get back to us when you've decided what it is.

Which is 100% true over here.

Wow! This thread can't be far away from a Godwin now.

It's been entertaining.

Wo don't use a 'model year', we use a 'year of registration' - which is what he said. In fact it's what everyone has said.

You really are as stupid a race as you come over on telly, aren't you?

You'd be wrong. HTH.

Talking about the title - ie the V5. Yes, that's entirely correct. Note that's not your concept of 'model year'.

I'll concede slight carelessness on Adrian's part there. He wasn't actually saying Registration date = model year, he was saying registration date = year on title - which was what the rest of the relevant message is referring to.

ie

is easy, contrary to what you have been arguing.

Just think, if you'd not been so obsessed about model year that you completely missed the original point, you wouldn't have had to go through all this argument...

Why won't you answer the question about PikeyVanMan?

Actually, I'm British. You didn't pick up on that? No wonder you're confused.

It's been covered off several times now.

Sorry, but you appear to be posting with all the intelligence of a Merkin, so it's no wonder you've been mistaken for one.

Ahh, Merkin IP. You appear to have 'gone native'.

I can do one better. I can put you in my killfile and write you off as a moron who doesn't know that American cars in America fall into a category called "model year". See - problem solved. Don't forget to get in the last word - don't let my not being able to see it slow you down in the least.

'La, la, la, I'm not listening'

Bury your head in the sand, that's the usual Yank way of dealing with stuff they don't understand or agree with.
