3.75 ain't the end of the world, it helps keep those assholes who can't afford their SUVs and trucks off the roads somewhat but the reason gas is more expensive in other nations is because they have a universal health care system most likely and much of that is put on gas tax.
We pay the equiv of $10.14 a gallon for petrol. While part of the tax on fuel will most likely be due to the cost of the NHS, it's not really the case. The UK government has no control of it's finances, they are retarded, they tax us on everything they can possbily imagine. With regard to car insurance, insurance in the UK is INSANE, unaffordable for many many people, and there is no comptetition, and the government doesn't launch anti-competitive invetigations into it because the government takes 10% tax from every policy sold. Road tax can cost you £1030 a year depending on your car and if it was made after 2010. They will give you a fine if you're caught so much as sneezing when behind the wheel even if you are stationary, a woman was fined because a policeman saw her eating an apple while driving claiming she was not in control of her vehicle. They want our money and they want it BAD

I recall some truly sinus-clearing insurance quotes from watching "Top Gear". There was one Challenge where they had to buy a Young Man's First car, and the insurance quotes they got were much higher per annum than the car's price. Aiee.

I mean you spend money to lower the car, gives no benefit, rather much quicker tire wear more stress on the car, cracking oil pans left and right. And in my eyes and the other guys I race with we regard them as jokes.

That is the norm. I value my car at £500, it is the second smallest engine available and is in the cheapest insurance group available, a year ago i was paying £1200 for 3rd party fire and theft (the cheapest form of insurance) i could not afford to insure it for a year but 3 months ago i had to get insurance so went to the same company, with 4 years no claims, and they wanted £1800 for it. In the end as per with top gear, i simply lied about my job as my job has nothing to do with them, they can get fucked, and got insured for £550 ,still more than the car is worth. Yet bizarely i requested a quote for a 4 liter supercharged V8 jaguar i have my eyes on and they only want £1200 fully comprehensive. UK car insurance is utterly fucked.


Oh, and being that this was based on them jut wanting to rape us for every penny we have, if you own a car, the claimed that too many people were driving uninsured, i wonder why, so they changed the law so that instead of just paying road tax and not insuring or driving the car, unless you declare it SORN (statutory off road notice) then you HAVE to insure it. So even if you are not driving your car because you work arou/nd the corner from home, you HAVE to have car insurance even if you do not use your car. Some people have the luxyary of a driveway that they can leave it in and declare it SORN, most don't. I had to sign ownership of my car to my parents so they could keep it at their house SORN because i oculdn't afford to insure something i wasn't using.


I can honestly say i would run around the city naked with airhorns singing and dancing if someone managed to blow up parliament while they were in session. We need us a modern day Guy Fawkes, and we need him quite desperately. Please "arab terrorists", given how much they want us to think you exist, one of you pick up a bomb and fuck them at their own game! David Cameron and most of the government should face public torture and exceution and i would be the first to subscribe for a Sky premium tv package so i could watch it, hell, i'd rent a limo to go see it in person. And i'm the least violent person you're likely to meet.

Same, my 34 is fairly unique with it's paint job, don't really need someone putting two and two together, same goes for my Stagea... That jeep above could be anyones.

I do really like those Jeeps, however they are so exxy here in oz and a Patrol is so much better for the money.

Bullshit. People post grows on here and this guys afraid to post a pic of a car? Tons of cars are featured in magazines frequently. In fact plenty of jeeps get shown it magazines. And there's also car forums where people post pics all day and don't get jacked for it. What do you think posting a pic of yur car on riu will get it jacked? Damn I would hate to live in the paranoid world you live in.

Plus if you have such a sick ride it would be in a garage anyways, safe. and have an alarm system. I'm not trying to be a dick here, Im just curious why you think posting a pic of your car would somehow risk anything? This web site dose a good job keeping members safe. Just don't post the geo tag with the pic and it's safe man.

Really guy? Want me to post another pic of the jeep? Just tell me to take a specific shot and I'll do it. (without the license plate) Why would you doubt the validity? I doubt you even own the cars you're talking about. If you have any security measures on your
computer its fine to post pics here you paranoid clowns. Again pics or gtfo.

What the hell does "exxy here in oz" mean? What's a Patrol and how is it better than a jeep for the money? Jeeps are the cheapest and easiest rigs to work on and upgrade.

"Exxy here in Oz" means expensive here in Australia lol... A patrol being a Nissan Patrol, dunno if you have em where you are but down here they are King... pretty much owe Patrols and Landcruisers for setting up our Hydro-Electric schemes.

When I had a look at buying one the same as yours I was really dodgey on the size of the diffs and although I could have upgraded to Dana diffs for an extra $7,000 I really couldn;t justify it. Still, would love one in summer with the roof off.
