do i or dont i

If what you have described about your car is correct, then repair this car rather than scrap it, the cost of buying another mini would pay for the repair, and there are already plenty of donor parts around if you need them, Fitzy

Pick it up, and throw it in the trash. Get a real car made for humans, not hobbits.

I would be inclined to get it repaired. Mini panels and rear subframes are still relatively inexpensive. It is pre engine management systems, which has to be a bonus. It's a 1984 mini - doesn't that put it close to tax exempt.

hi Flash, It may be coming up to 25 years old ,but I believe it will never be eligible for tax exemption, Fitzy

Cheers guys,

Will start saving up the pennies !!! Look forward to lots of questions

Very soon me thinks with the current government they will scrap car tax! you will all pay congestion charge for the time your on the road, all cars will need a small box fitted, they will be tracked by satellite, ( not sci fi, these are being trailed right now) or even worse car tax + congestion tax!

Steve.

Trailed or trialled ? Most likely they will be scrap heap taxed.

Lucky for me I walk to work, but its also a matter of time before my company are forced to charge employees to park, there is a levi on business car parking, so companies will have to recoop the money some how, all the other companies around me including my HQ in London charge already! Lucky for me I have a permit which entitles me to free park as i dont at my satelite branch.

The wife works for the NSH. They charge £150 for her to park at work. And they wonder why noone wants to work for the NHS.

I know it's bloody depressing, I really thought things would get better in the UK when Labour came to power in 1997, well any morons would be better after years of Tory damage, but well as you just said ahem. Yes Tony your a prat!

He's not such a bad bloke, he only sent 103 British members of the armed forces to their deaths as they had insuffiecient body armour, and averaged

Oh I know all this Iraq war stuff and there we were thinking Tony knew something we didn't and it was all justified and it turns out he didn't after all!

Anyway if your reading this Tony sort the bloody trains out and give us real Mini owners a tax brake or something, for god's sake our cars are tiny and are a significant British creation which surely deserves a rebate of some kind for being amazing and special etc?
