Hope this budget proposal applies to Mini's?  Well how small is small?

He has announced that owners of the smallest cars will pay no tax at all and
that duty on low emission cars is being cut to £40.

Well if it's true, the value of Mini's are likely to go through the roof!?

Sadly (according to what I just read on the Minifinity site) it seems
there's clauses and the real Mini's rate is staying the same, oh well trust
the Government, bunch of w.nkers!

Oh and sorry for getting all you UK Mini owners hopes up too  :O(

page 168 of the Budget 2006, section 7.75 says...

- the VED rate for the small number of cars with the very lowest carbon
emissions (band A) will be reduced to £0 to encourage take-up and assist
the development of the low carbon car market;

- VED rates will also be reduced for band B by £35 and C by £5, frozen
for bands D and E, and increased by £25 for band F;

- rates for pre-2001 registered cars and light goods vehicles in the
lower band will be frozen with the higher band increased by £5"

... unfortunatly

Yes like I said, w.nkers!

Anyway when they introduced the lower tax for smaller cars a few years back,
they limited it to cars under 1100cc, well after everyone complained, they
did increase that saving to cars under 1549cc.  So maybe if we all complain
like crazy and point out the fact that the real/original Mini is as everyone
knows, the greatest car of all time, then maybe we'll get free road tax on
Mini's?  Well it's worth a try perhaps?
