One of the reasons I am holding onto my car is the fact that it is a 2005 car and therefore not eligible for the higher tax bands. Just taxed the car and it has cost me £260

You lucky ba...rd.

Cost double than that here  '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

Just had mine serviced I was told that I need new disks and pads all round! Can anybody tell me how much I should expect to pay on 2005 RRS S/C Cheers Laurence.

But i hear you the defender was expensive before they made it commercial.

My disco - which arguably is the worst is also the cheapest  Mike

But you also have the Swiss salaries to pay with, when I am in Geneva I cannot believe the prices of everything, just glad I can charge almost everything to my clients. My colleagues are all on massive salaries (compared to the UK) and most of them live over the border in France to enjoy the lower cost of living. Apparently the associated costs in the Swiss border area are 15% more than the rest of France (except Paris), but still worthwhile compared to the local taxes within the canton of Geneva.

It's a case of swings and roundabouts here...

Road tax is a joke, especially when you look at the state of our roads across the whole of the uk, then take into account the fact that the revenue created by road tax is not entirely invested back into the transport network.
