Re: PEC today

They are so accommodating they even let my 18 year old daughter drive a 911 Turbo S on my Macan day. Personally i think they really do everything they can to ensure you (and future generations) are bought into the brand

Re: End of the Macan diesel

if you think of it in % terms £48k for a 16 month old car with a dubious future and you've lost pretty much the VAT (give or take) isn't disastrous

Re: WLTA ( New Emissions test)

There is no suggestion that fuel prices could double under this arrangement. Do the maths based on removing VED and taxing each litre of fuel based on 10k miles per year as an average at 35mpg and broadly replacing £300 a year in VED under the new/old scheme (and that's generous) it works out at ap...

Re: PEC today

As Col says they are hugely accommodating and helpful. After all they want you to buy their cars so why wouldn't they be?

The only fair way to tax cars is on fuel consumption via an additional tax on fuel and no VED or via a pay per mile based on GPS tracking. The whole CO2 thing is a total nonsense While doubling of fuel prices would't cause me any issues, there are a lot of people on breadline who have to commute a ...

Re: Options removed after order lock down

Yes, we had a thread running for a while on spelling and grammar. It got quite 'energetic' with lots of examples of misuse of 'their' and 'there', 'loose' and 'lose', 'chose' and 'choose', etc, etc. It's very important that we Brits maintain standards and resist the erosion of our language by that ...

Re: WLTA ( New Emissions test)

Moving tax from car to fuel sounds a great idea, but politically a non starter as we have seen many times before. The next move I believe will be tracking and charging individual vehicles by their mileage. That way the government can differentiate between the private motorist and commercial vehicle...
