what is that??? it looks like a right handed drive si... im confused... did u flip the pic??? haha

[steve_jones]

No probs, in the UK our road tax system is done by a yearly charge to all drivers for each vehicle they own, the latest system is worked out on co2 emmissions, so on a type r it works out to about 160ukp a year.

Every car has a paper disc in its window, saying what month your tax runs out, ie 03 03 would be march 2003, its illegal not to have one and the law can do you for not displaying or having one,

HTH

Steve

how does it work over there ?


Steve

[importhonda]

haha, got it... Over here we call them registration stickers and they go on our rear license plate. We pay according to the smog, year and value of our cars, I believe.

I love finding out differences between countries

[HondaMan]

In some areas of the USA (mainly big cities like Atlanta) you have to get emissions tests done every 1-2 years and you have to pass it in order to renew your car tag and/or get sticker to display on your front windshield that proves you passed the test. Passing that test is easy for newer cars like ours.

Thats interesting, I think you guys are doing it right. Emission standards in the NA market are less regulated compared to you!
Thanks for sharing.:)

[Jpax]

sweet install homie :D

[steve_jones]

Oh and, after a car is over 3 years old, it has to have a yearly test called at MOT, in which a qualified tester checks over your entire car for road worthyness, including emmessions, and issues you with a certificate that you need to renew you car tax as well

Complicated !

:)

Steve

[I_VTEC]

Very complicated. Ours is simple, but dealers will rape you for them to do it. We have an annual sticker that goes invalid at the owner's birthdate. Uk sure is beautiful, i'll be over there in 6 months, can't wait!

[steve_jones]

cool , where are you headed when ur over here, work play both ?

In my country, we can bargain for speeding ticket on site, and end up without paying it at all. Just by saying "Hold on, let me call your lieutenant, what's your name again ?" :)

Car Registration ? What is that ? Well we do have some pieces of paper regarding ownership etc, renewal, a police will come to my place pick it up everytime it is the time to renew.

Emission Test ? What emission test ? Do we have the equipment to test it, I don't think so.

Sounds like HEAVEN huh !?

hehehhe :) Just sharing ..... differences between countries.

Btw, it is a right hand drive.

Your country makes better beer! "New Castle" that is!

[steve_jones]

We pay 79.9 pence per litre of Unleaded, ( work it out for yourself )

Ouch i I say

Steve

[napapacoda]

Whats up with this 91 octane? The only stuff I see around here (north east)is 87, 89(only suckers buy that) and 93. I think some gas stations around here sell 94, but it'll cost ya.

[type r daddy]

94??? the lowest we have here in the uk which is the standard is 95Ron, can get 97 or 98 Ron but cost more!
petrol is set to go up in price due to the war!!

[most_hatedSi02]

I wanted to get the Alpine but I was able to get a great deal on the Sony Mex-5DI..so I decieded to go with it, and when I'm more prepared I'm going to get the Alpine, I want to add an extra screen...Looks Great!
I'll post pics when I get my inferior Sony installed.

[cadoodoo]
