    I paid €325 fully comp for the '86 310BHP 4.7l 928 as my only car on a classic policy with First Ireland - 4k miles max iirc. Parked on the driveway.

    You have only half of my engine :p

    LOLOL - I know, but at least it's the powerful half: 240bhp from half = 480bhp....where'd you lose the 170bhp ?? :p

    and

    ...maybe that's why your's is stuck on the driveway ?? :p:p


    On a related note..........started the manual one for first time in ages today.......sigh..........what a waste of a car to park......... :(

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Half the engine = half the tax. ;)

    (I use that excuse to console myself at the lack or rumble...)

    Not quite. Half the engine, but bored out to 3l so only one motor tax category below max tax

    Then again, it is a very powerful engine for a 4-pot as galwaytt said :)

    I think at some point it had the highest BHP per litre for any N/A engine!

    And yes, the tax on your tiny 'oul VW campervan lump is less than half the tax again :p
