You know those emails that warn you about virus's, that everyone forwards on?

They actually travel faster and spread to more people quicker than real virus's, and the warning is fake!

This is one of those times, its hearsay spam email, until there is PROOF and official documents, I'd take it as a hoax.

Agree with above, from 2012, thats like cars after 2001 must display a newer number plate, or they must pay tax by the emissions,

i dont see us havin to have diffrent rates of tax because of emissions...


vehicle registered 2012 or newer


Yeah all bull unless its proven offical,


It allready effects ALOT of modded minis.. Not all bull.

Thanks

How can anybody believe such a ridiculous claim with no proof, apart from a chain email. It would kill all modified car scenes and shut down many buinesses. The number if people who would be in outrage if this happened would be huge!

Garrett, I think if you are going to make this claim on a forum of this size, you will need to provide the evidence to back it up.

I personally have never heard of it. I read about the IVA changes last year, but how that applies to modified minis (eg. not z-cars, kit cars etc) is beyond me... ?

Next up is the changes to the 2012 MOT's. There as been no special notices on this and nothing in the vosa seminars and group forums.

I think the highly regarded and the Mot Stations would be the first to know about this, so they can make any changes and training to implement this.

How would your mate andy know of this before anyone else?

Do rally cars need a valid MOT to race? If so how will they get around that one?

Okay, the only answer is to vote for UKIP and get us out of the EU, there opening line of their manifesto below.............

The UK Independence Party is the only moderate, democratic party to advocate Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union.

Straight Bananas, max/min length of Carrots, etc. etc. etc. what a bunch of Bankers !!!
