They just can’t help themselves can they…..

Whichever way they force the population through their maze there is always something they will find to tax.

Electric, zero tax……now a form of road tax

ULEZ, free if you sell the car you own for one that belongs to a credit company and you will never own, London is getting ready for the next stage, Pay by Mile, which will come in quicker if Khan gets told to scrap the expansion.

And now tyres.

And then they wonder why town centres are turning into waste lands…welcome to future where everyone else is laughing at you.

Encouraging people to not buy new tyres isn't going to end well.

Spinners are the single nut that hold a wheel on a splined shaft. I had a MG once with those interesting how the work ( self tightening)

On the subject however if you like cars don't live in a big city. I live near Paris and avoid the place like the plague, although I have taken my Td5 into Paris at occasions during the weekend when it is still allowed. I don't agree with the argument, but have resigned to the fact that things change..

Sometimes, I think I should have stayed in London and contributed to my birth place. Then again there is no legislation on stupid so what would have been the point.
