Was looking to change my car for something a bit sporty like an older BMW 325 Convertible. Nearly fell off the feckin chair when I checked the road tax after 2010....£425 a year
The puchase was meant to go some way to mend my broken heart (cue violins)......nearly gave me a feckin heart attack!

Wasn't old enough then.
Get a pre 2001 car and it stays on the old rate.If you're going for quality then age shouldn't be a problem,there's shed loads out there.BMW won't give a used warranty over 60k miles so they're all out there with FSH and no showroom markup.

so you were shown that a broken heart isn't as painful as a heart attack
makes you wonder what is cheaper a flash motor or a woman

Keep the car you've got, Keep the Harley and add a CCM R30 or even better, a KTM Duke. Your heart will be skipping with delight, oh and I wanna go of it if you get one.

if you really must buy a hairdressers motor buy a Merc, cheap as chips to run and easy to work on in the unlikely event it breaks down, BMWs need a scientist to repair even minor faults...

women however are expensive ,breakdown every few weeks and have major faults as standard, mine has an intermittent problem with her gub...

They're all programmed the same way!
