Netherlands 2010 Freelander 2 TD4 Sport Manual Santorini Black

The EU is only there for the benifit of industry. It was one of the condiitons the USA granted the post WW2 financial aid, known as the 'MARSHALL PLAN' . The coutndown to TPP started there... Luckily Trump blew it up !!!

Its a 'registration tax' . It would be great if all car taxes would be abolished, but alas, no such luck.

Someone sued the PT- state for not depreciating taxes on import cars. He won. But the ruling didn't say anything about the CO2 rates , and these are the big bucks... [ Freelander 2 TD4e MY10 Sport manual. SVR badge engineered ] SOLD

Ah thanks. And I thought it was only the French who were famous for "bending" the rules. At least you'll still be able to get to Portugal - the way things are going we shan't be able to get past Dover soon. If I were younger I'd seriously consider emigrating. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Why not get past Dover ? We still want to come to the UK ! The Netherlands and UK have strong trading ties, far beyond the EU 'boundaries'. If I'd have the chance I'd vote for NEXIT yesterday ! [ Freelander 2 TD4e MY10 Sport manual. SVR badge engineered ] SOLD

Firstly the new time-consuming border checks for non-Schengen nationalities (which I assume we approve of, as we are - still - members of the EU)
Secondly the fact that all roads to Dover will be clogged with lorries waiting for the cross-border paperwork to be completed and checked
Thirdly the fact that the pound will have sunk so much in value that we shan't be able to afford to go abroad!
Yes the remark was tongue in cheek - most of us still love you really. And anyway the young British male still seems to regard Amsterdam as a place of dreams and drunkenness... Whistle Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
