Dunno if this is some sort of wind up,or if theres any substance to this,but I saw it over on Volkszone.Maybe worth spreading the word to other forums/local MP's?
I can't believe that the UK government will back this and let it go through,as it will wipe out a multi-million pound sector of the market more or less overnight.
Bloody eurocrats at it again.How does an Un-elected body get away with this sh!t? :confused: :fighting:

My eyes are tired from work, trying to get bits done, gaming and late night tonight. All I read in the original proposal was that cars must conform to a standard when they roll out of the factory and that when the cars are tested (ie MOT) they must meet the standards (no comments about exceeding them).

....Agreed  :happy2: - I suggested to the site Mods they either merge or lock-n-link a few hours ago - It doesn't matter which they do.  :popcornsoda: [Yeah, I know they have day jobs etc etc etc]

....Oh no, I do assure you that I have no such aspirations. I'm just generally contributing to helping the forum but you are blinded by your obvious dislike of me. It hasn't gone unnoticed that you are always very unfriendly in your posts towards me and we have never even met. What goes around comes around, bud.

Dislike purely because you ruin this forum for others, either by your constant spamming of useless information, or posting a photograph of your car at every possible moment. Maybe you could do everyone (including yourself) a favour and limit the amount you "contribute" towards the forum, and do something more constructive!
