I want to see if a bus is actually more efficient or not...... They run for around 16Hrs a day pushing out *** knows how much carp! Anyway LOOK AT... http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Ownin...cle/DG_10012524 IS200 pre 2001 - 180 IS200 2001 On - 205 Vehicles From 23 March 2006 and in band G - 300

http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/search/vedSearch.asp Figures quoted are for cars after Mar 2001. Page 185 Of the Budget 2007 Document (downloaded from BBC) Part 7.78 As with fuel duty rates, the Government today announces VED rates for this year and the next two years to further sharpen environmental signals to motorists to purchase more fuel efficient vehicles and continue to support the development of low-carbon market, including: • raising the rate for the most polluting cars (band G) to £300 in 2007-08 and £400 in 2008-09; and reducing the rate for low-carbon band B cars to £35 in 2007-08, with that rate then frozen for the subsequent two years; • raising the rates for graduated bands C-E, cars registered before 2001 and all light goods vehicles by £5 in each of the next three years; • raising the rates for graduated band F by £10 in 2007-08, then £5 in each of the subsequent two years; • in 2007-08 only, freezing the rates for motorbikes in the lower band with higher bands increasing by £1-£2; and freezing VED rates for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV), Special Types Vehicles, Combined Transport Vehicles and all vehicle categories that are linked to the basic goods rate;7 and • aligning the VED rates for petrol and diesel cars as the differential in nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions for new cars is expected to fall to close to zero once Euro V and VI emission standards become mandatory. • Changes to this year’s VED rates take effect from 22 March 2007. All changes in subsequent years take effect from licenses commencing 1 April in the respective year.

Digital or analogue?

Wasnt there a TV film made bout some guy who made near perfect photographic plates of US notes (The Magician) Based on fact????....was some time ago though.

Hope you enjoy the car and LOC. Cheers Rob

you are GIT :shutit: :tsktsk:

I dont know why the Scots moan... Cheaper Prescription charges No Top up fees All OAP's entitled to care without the gov screwing them out of cash. Back to subject.....why not have a pics of:- Pythagoras Socrates Edison Da Vinci to name a few :) Who would you like to see on a note?

damn i feel old :)

Jammy Has very recently been all through this...... Done our heads in he did too :)

Dont worry, the right 1 will come along. Just play the waiting game.

Wheres you way?

Id say split!

have you looked at the differences on the microsoft website? Personally im not going to bother at least for the moment...i cant see the point. XP plus some extra security hasnt caused any problems so far.

Fargo.... What rims are on your car?

odd one this.....a sport comes with a rear lip spoiler, but some ppl changed boot to get the raised spoiler.... As far as i know you could not just take off the lip and replace with the raised. BTW...i am unsure if "facelift" would be the word i would use to describe the slight changes made over the years.

i might be able to help....ill have a dig around.... where bouts are you in surrey?

What about the base Aldi was doing a short while back...very good spec for the price i recall....i was told that even if they dont have them in stock they might be able to order 1. Worth a try. I got a mesh base on its own....but i actually got it cheaper by asking for a quote on the whole system and then deducting bits...i did have a problem with the MOBO but mesh sorted it quickly enough.

Are you sure you want to keep to the 350 mark? and want to keep the monitor you already have? Just that for a little more you can get a complete system complete with a flat screen which would give you a little more viewing size than the 17 CRT.

I do not know the Grey/Blue you are thinking of...I don’t think I will...unless it’s in the S cloth. (The "S" is the most Basic IS200) The car pics you have put up look to be an SE Strathcaron Blue (could be Sapphire but from the back pic it looks to be strath) It is the 2 tone dash with a top loader CD. And interior is Exmoor (Black leather/alacantra) It may have the rear tinted Light clusters (im not sure) Interior colours were only Exmoor (Black) or Oakham (Beige) at least for SE and Sport. The IS had a number of Minor cosmetic changes throughout........ 2000/01 cd player changed, Passenger gets elec seat. Blue (and possibly the red?) colour change 2001/2 CD sat nav changes to DVD system. 2002/3 Dash colour changes. 2004/5 Blue colour changes again 2004/5 ? THE LE (Limited Edition ) came in a completely different colour, full armrest, and had HID lamps as standard. (not grey/blue though) Alloy wheels changed on later models also....guessing at 2004. towards the end of the run Lexus offered full leather and satnav systems also. All this is off the top of my head but i dont think its too far off.....

OK mine is a LATE (DEC) 2000 on an X plate. I have the CD player with the CD on top, and Both Seats are electric. I have seen an x plate in strathcaron blue and i have seen a y plate in royal sapphire........ also another blue came in later. Dash colour changes im not quite sure when they started i thin 2002ish....perhaps a member who has the solid colour dash can say for sure.

Try calling guildford, reading and bracknell for prices.

Ian shame on you...far too young to worry bout all that retirement stuff :) I was going to say the Vertex Aristo......I know im tempted by them.....but it’s an import, and prob a lil bigger than you were thinking. Your porka, although tying up cash has the big advantage of not depreciating as much so in that sense aren’t you saving a little? What about a mini then :)

I was going to go the SC route but and didnt mind the 150 more on the insurance quote.......i dod however get a bit miffed with the quote upping my Excess from 100 to 350. So i didnt bother. would be cheaper to insure a 300.

Revised models actually from late 2000........ (on the X plate) electric passenger seat and top loading CD. Also colour changes happened 2000/2001 and also around 2003/4. LE model came with HID Headlamps and leather. there are around 50 Bright yellow ones about. Later models had slight cosmetic changes to dash and interior and wheels. A good search on the site will find all the info for you.

I believe the vehicle must be Pre 1973 to have black and white plates. Also (i think) pre 73 for free tax....and multi tone air horns :)
