Some very large 4*4s (around the 3 tonnes?) in the States are now facing
restrictions in large cities

Its also the first time I've seen the term "New York tractors" bandied
around

here in the UK even Mini Cooper S come under the Green Richmond Councils
restrictions  (wonder what the mayor drives, also If the mileage allowance
paid to the councillors/officials is higher for bigger cars  )

I doubt it, the new shape one's only in band D.

Besides, when I was looking at Richmond's website to get it from the
horse's mouth, there were no details of which bands would be affected.

You must have taken a dislike to me to spend so much of your valuble time
checking on all these figures - OK the previous OLD Mini Cooper S of which a
few new ones are still for sale, what about the Beetle Auto you cut out  of
my posting.?

PS - What did you do in skool today?  Oh Yes, check the interweb

Well Done lad

Don't flatter yourself. It took about four seconds to check the Mini band.
I'd looked at the Richmond website previously. I can understand how the
thought of somebody proving you wrong by actually bothering to spend the
tiniest effort on basic research galls you, though.

Dodge, dodge, dodge... Anyway - the old Cooper S, in band F, was a bit
sh.t, it's true. Still, that'll be the rather vast amounts of lard it has
to drag around whilst pretending to be small outside. At least it doesn't
have to pretend to be small when you get in the damn thing. It manages that
quite well.

> what about the Beetle Auto you cut out  of my posting.?

What "Beetle auto" would that be? I don't see any mention of anything other
than the Cooper S in your post. Perhaps you could point it out?
