Re: [doc] Digest Number 852

Yep it's a bit of a joke the old road taxation, the Delorean is a 
historic vehicle, and mine is only insured to drive 2000miles per 
year and yet it drops into the highest road tax band.

My 1971 Triumph Spitfire Mark IV on the other hand has no cat and 
chucks out nasty fumes as it also runs of 4star with additional lead 
additive (engine really designed for 5 star fuel) unlimited mileage 
and the road tax....zero.

Crazy if you ask me, my triumph will spend more hours on the road 
damaging the surfaces and heavily poluting the environment yet it is 
tax free.
