[doc] Re: BTI Appeals

["Simon Shackell" <quaduplex@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a joke! Another short sighted government goalpost change!

They don't realise it means extra revenue in fuel duty, vat, road 
tax, insurance premium tax etc etc - how many people will be put off 
importing now? Me for a start.

Surely, in relative terms, the Delorean is a rare car? - It would be 
interesting to see the official cut-off point for production 
numbers. I doubt there is one. I work for the government (MOD) and 
this smacks of someone 'accidently' noticing the upturn in 'D's 
being imported, due to the favourable dollar/pound, and adding 
another 'nugget' to their CV. (Forgive my rant)
