scrappage scheme

[irish]

so far 87,000 cars have been crushed, wonder how many of those were minis, or other cool classics,
it makes my blood boil

And they're gonna keep going until 300,000 crushed or february next year, whichever is soonest

So there are 87,000 gullible morons out there then and many who will get into trouble from taking out finance on new cars.

bound to be some idiot BINI drivers who think they own a mini ;D

The thing is you can get a better deal without using scrappage, they did it on Filth Gear the other week, Ford offered £7000 off a Mondeo outside the scrappage scheme.

Where are youngsters going to get the secondhand cars to learn to drive in, repair as well as those on lower incomes who can't afford a new car.

This is a plan to get classics off the road , all the eco warriors say it is far better to keep a car going once it has been built as this is where the most damage is done, than keep building new ones.

Soapbox, rant, rant, rant, steps off and waits for a bus...........

It's also just to help kick-start the motor companies car sales, but since few cars are actually manufactured in the UK now, we're certainly not going to benefit from this.

too true, an idiot bini owner gave me the thumbs up on the m4 yesterday, as i was overtaking him going down to see josh, i just looked at him like he was something smelly on my shoe,
when he clocked the anti bini stickers on the ass end he over took me and gave me the finger!
so i gave him the closed hand up and down movement!
his misses just laughed! idiot! ;D
