well i picked up the free marina estate on friday, was an adventure to say the least! ended up having to pay 100 pounds to drive my transit into a low emission zone, when i first saaw the car i though it was quite rotton but on closer inspection its in very good condition, it just needs the front wings replacing and a small amount of welding to the front passenger A post. the car is full of spares including a spare gearbox and all the gears from another! there is 12 windscreen wiper kits! along with a whole load of other stuff and 2 boxes full of spares

yep! i wasnt best happy, but at the end of the day iv saved the marina. its funny because if the van was petrol it would be free! we only had to drive about 3 miles into the zone as well!

Wierd, most diesel vehicles have so called, "lower emissions" and are charged a lower rate of road tax because of it. :? :?
I am thinking politicians are just "muddling along" and changing/making up rules as they go along. I have very little trust in any of them. They don't seem to have a clue what they are talking about, only interested in making money,(mainly out of the motorist)!!!!
