Tony Blair is now talking heavily about green tax and the topic of 4x4 tax is in the press again. Daily Mirror yesterday was estimating £5,000 per 4x4 car per year. Surely they can't do that. Maybe they were referring to a tax on brand new cars in the showroom but it would be silly on people with a 10 year old 4x4.
If it does come true for £5,000 tax on every 4x4 per year, it would be the end of 4x4 for a lot of us which would be unfair on those of us who genuinly need them like boat owners, farmers, caravanners, builders etc etc.
I do my bit by riding a motorcycle to work and back and use my Landrover Discovery when I truly need 4x4 so it'd be cruel to throw a £5,000 tax at me.
