Really - do you know something we don't - I hope you're right, but we talking of just 4 and a bit month's time !

As for the other hopefuls ... we can all dream - there was a back bench revolt back last July when 49 labour MPs objecte to these retrospective increases, but the government defeated them.

It seems like it might not be necessary to SORN your post-March 01 car (yet).

Things are looking up [] well for the time being anyway. I've just had a look on the governments site here

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524

there were details of the new tax hikes all over this page the other day, now they appear to have been removed!!

Whoh - this is good news - fingers crossed the back dated bit (01 to 06) will be removed altogethe, not just postponed a year.

My hunch is that if it has been binned for now, that will become permanent. As the government seems now to be consistently behind in the polls, it means they will want to hang on until the last before they call a general election, which means it will be in the spring of 2010. The last thing they will want is a guaranteed vote loser to materialise six months before.

My 996 is a Jan 2001 car anyway so it looks like I'm partially immune.
