What a joke! I really don't understand why they feel the need to bring this in.

[kitch]

Have I read an April fools joke a day too late haha.

[Kos]

Yes you have

[George]

Yes you have

And yet if it wasn't, it would be totally and utterly believable. That's the scary thing.

Do you believe everything you read in the papers or online?

Whilst that is very obviously a spoof,bear in mind that in Germany elderly cars are regestered seperately as 'oldtimers',with strict limits on their usage.

The MoT testing in the UK is slowly falling into line with the rest of Europe,so how long before the German example is seen to be the correct way forward?

[jann]

Holy sheet i believed this until i came and read further down on here.

[e30-EVN]

with the way tree huggers are getting these days its unwise to put thoughts in their tiny minds or else they will think this is the way forward!

FFS.

George was making an observation about the way the country is run from Brussels and how the motorist is continually hammered. Alles Klar?

Yes and no. Certain cities (Munich is one) requires that passenger vehicles cannot be used within the city limits without a catalyst fitted and an up to date AU sticker.......unless they are registered as a historic with an H at the end of the number plate, in which case they can. Considering almost all German cars had catalysts as standard for the last 20 odd years anyway, it's not an issue. Older cars need an emissions sticker from any TuV station attatching to the back of the car before you can enter the city. Historic 'H' cars are exempt. The TuV test weeds out the snotters, and they are gratefully snapped up by Eastern Europe.

holy sh1t i believed this for a second! Just imagine not being allowed to drive your e30!!

[e30-EVN]

^no thanks, it would kill me

[Cypriotgeeza]

hahah very funny!

Id move out of here quicker than my E30 uses petrol!

[Kieran_n22]

they will do it! All the old vans have to go in London in January -2002. We have an X reg Transit has the same engine and exhaust system as an '05 and it has to go.

[Falkster]

I almost let out a poop even knowing it was an April fools!! I'd only have 4 years to enjoy the 968 and the e30 would be staying in the garage!!
