CLASSIC IDIOCY The numpty bureaucrats and politicians are at it again, and our classic cars are under threat this time. There is an EU proposal to ban the use of cars older than 10 years. but environmentalists fail to grasp that removing an old vehicle from the roads and replacing it with a new vehicle will cause more environmental damage that if it was continued in use for the remainder of it's useful life. Most of thrse vehicles are used for occasional hobby purposes only. Edinburgh city Council is also considering the banning of cars that are more that 15 years old from the town centre. such proposals directly threaten the classic car movement and encourage the man ufacture of new cars,with the attendant environmental issues of sourcing raw materials, manufacturing and distributing them. ROGER EARL, Edinburgh

sorry to burst a bubble here ... but the article is BOLLOX !! I seriously suggest that more classic, veteran, historic and 'interested' owners start getting in touch with the FBHVC .. these - BAN claims and thoughts keep popping up in the media and can usually be tracked back to a previous 'thought' but very rarely to a truth.. Yes the 'meanie Greenies' keep banging drums and raising scares, but in actuality the truth is the 'Oldtimer' market in Britain IS recognised by both HMG in general & the VOSA in particular. see their website www.fbhvc.co.uk for a more informed outlook. I do not believe for a minute that 'classic & collector' cars are exactly 100% safe from the beurocrats but it really isnt as bad as the media seems to indicate .. In my own perverse view (and at the end of the day) as long as there is the recent namby-pamby rules being brought into being, then as taxpayers, owners, and individuals - we can all claim the human right to run an old car in public without fear of discrimination from a mass culture !! Stick it to them with their OWN rules !!
