    Many V8s about in NZ? I heard before that they're common enough in Oz..

    Ah, nice. Definitely nicer weather in NZ :)

    What about the 850? Did you sell it or is it sitting in a garage?

    To be honest, from what I heard it isn't a very warm country.
    Possibly the same climate as Ireland?

    Nah its much more varied than Ireland. Some places have a temperate climate like Ireland and other areas have a semi tropical climate. Some places get a lot of snow in the winter too.

    LPG = Loose Promiscuous Girls. Get a V8 and you're in LPG territory. High maintenance costs from the outset especially when they give problems. Can potentially cost you a lot of money. Nice to have a ride in at weekends.

    No. The Micra would be more LGBT. :D

    + 1.

    Anyway, look at the economics.

    A €2250 car, probably drive away for €2k, new tyres, serviced, minus a years tax €1400 (public rate) = An S-class for just €600 for the year.

    If it breaks down after a year and is an expensive fix, just scrap it.

    Sure 280k is nothing on one of them engines anyway.
    I'd love it, would prefer an s600 though. Have only seen one s600 of that model for sale and it is horrendously overpriced, something like 10k for a '00

    But sure once it's taxed it's taxed

    If I bought a car with 12 months psv tax sure I'm hardly going to go retax it!

    Oh I know.

    (Pardon my ignorance) But could there not be insurance complications because of PSV tax? Or does it mean jack?

    Isn't the tax invalid unless its being driven as a psv?
    Might as well have no tax.
