Small print asides in the "Budget speech" (on line.. I lose the actual link I found.. but it did make me have hissyfit. I am not going to read again as it cause feelings of anger over the sheer daftness.

Like VED on some cars .. it including some older but powerful registered models from 2001 und not just the new ones.. :roll: If I understand the politico-jargon correctly :popcorn:
