It's been a while since I've been here
But I had to tell you guys, that all my 'hard work' didn't pay off...
I couldn't convince my parents on buying a RR(S)

Instead, my dad bought a Porsche Cayenne and my mom bought a VW Eos (I kinda like that one ).

It's the V6... we have to pay CO2-tax in Holland since the 1st of February 2008.
A Cayenne V6 would cost 8,000 euro extra, but my dad managed to take delivery of his Cayenne before the 1st of February
A Range Rover Sport S/C will cost you an extra 20.000 Euro. The government has gone mad

I like the 2.0T engine in the Eos. A V6 would be to powerful for that car

I was going to say.... not even a proper Cayenne

Eos quite cute though if you happen to be a woman!

Bad luck RRS-NL

Yeah you're right about that
I wouldn't buy one myself, but I do get a lot of attention by the girls when I drive around in it (with the top down ofcourse and without my mother sitting next to me )

and what about the SLURP TAX , that must cost a bundle, or did he just bought it last year

Yeah, the 'Slurptax' is the CO2 tax that I was talking about
My dad choose the Cayenne in a hurry... he was actually looking for a Maserati Quattroporte. But then our wonderful ( ) Minister of Economics announced the 'slurptax'. The delivery-time of a Maserati was far to long and my dad wasn't planning on paying 'Slurptax' for his new car.
So he went to Porsche and asked if they had any cars in stock... and this Cayenne had all the options he needed. So he picked it up on the 15th of January 2008. Just before the 'Slurptax' became active.

I'm actually planning on moving out of this country, because this government only wants to profit out of the CO2-'problems'. They keep 'inventing' new tax-measures.
Such as the 'fly-tax' (we have to pay 11,25 euro p.p. 'CO2 tax' for shortrange flights and 45 euro p.p. for longrange flights).
They also want to increase the parking fee's for 'dirty' cars.
And this keeps going on-and-on.

Heard on the news at lunchtime today that Norfolk is going to charge parking fees for cars based on their length.... they have already come a cropper as quoted on the programme one manufacturer has just launched an upgrade of a popular model................... it's longer than the car it is based on so the same car falls into two "parking tax" groups! Interesting crazy rules also at sea - my Ukraine and Philippino crew have all just become German nationals so the company can claim back the social security that all German companies have to pay for their employees, but both sets of guys have had to sign that while they will be german "residents" for employment they will not make any claims against the German pension / health schemes and will return to their home countries for their leave! All that to have a German flag on the ship. Also to comply I am learning German as being the captain I am the only person on a German flagged ship who MUST speak and read German! Angel you live in one confused and mixed up country! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Lol... I really don't understand political people. They probably have been bullied when they were young and now they can finally bully other people with all their crazy ideas
