Yes, I have been a bit busy lately, sorry about the absence. That recipe book sounds very nice ! 8)Clogzz wrote:There are many 6-cylinder cars here from several makers, because fuel is cheaper, and the tax regime for cars is governed by a recipe book that the Americans gave them during World War II.
A former colleague of mine bought a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible from a mafia boss before he went to jail.
It had an engine of over 7 litres capacity.
His wife had a Mitsubishi Colt with a 1.4 litre engine, I think.
The all-up difference in road tax and insurance cost was something like only £40 per year.
It’s often the 6-cylinder cars that are the cheapest to insure because they are supposed to be conventional cars with sedate drivers … but they ‘mishandle’ like barges.
The "all-up difference" sounds very much a common sense difference, and affordable.
Yes, that point about "mishandle like barges" does mean that you would have thought they were more of a liability !
