Just don't buy a new high-end Audi then or you'll be paying over a grand in "showroom tax!"

So what does all our money go on?

That's odd! Are you sure hbk? I've just (today) renewed mine online and it was "only" £400. Still a b****y rip off. Roads just get worse..... (Better not get me started) :evil:

Car Tax for the RS4 is £400 in 2008/9, £440 in 2009/10 and £455 in 2010/11. This was announced in the 2008 Budget Specch with full details in the Budget Report (which I downloaded).

So anything that says £440 for 2008/9 is wrong!

Oh I don't know. I'm sure the roads in Iraq are in a lot better shape now thanks to the money we're paying in road tax.

Little bit of politics there.

Regarding the condition of the roads, I took right turn into a road on the way home and almost made Australia!! Pulled over straight away to check for damage but thankfully i seem to have escaped.

I still took a picture of the hole just in case though!

Only consolation, the smart car I use for work is only £35 :-)

Yep, received the reminder and it says £440, I will give them a ring tomorrow.

Cheers
