cool, i live in leicester but bought mine from northampton.
it wouldn't really effect you because your bug is tax exempt, but one of the reasons why i'm annoyed is because my bug is 4 months out from being tax exempt, & i'm going to have to pay £160 a year for road tax because i have a 1600cc engine, i think this is unfair because modern cars that have larger engines do not get taxed this much (from what i've seen the average is £100), if i had a smaller engine it would probably be around £80 a year
also, my insurance premiums are going to hit the roof because i'm only 17 & my car has a 1600cc engine. (a lot of money to fork out when you're a student earning £120 a month  )

| Isn't taxes the reason for the British invasion? The musicians were making tons of money and getting raped on taxes so they became Americans so they could keep more of their money. |
