The Micro Car thread

[Drago]

Isn't there some tax on petrol that has/had the effect of paying per mile, and also taking into consideration the car's fuel efficieny (weight, power, that kinda stuff)?

The duty should be doubled, cos it clearly aint working at present.

The poor will be the first to get off the roads (after their protests go unheard).

If it doubled all but the wealthy would be off the roads. But that's true of everything - the wealthy are always last to be able to afford something. In fact, by and large the poor are already driving cars they can't afford paid for with money they don't have, which is proving a very shaky pillar of our economy, so reducing the debt burden would be no bad thing.

As sad as it would be, providing motorised access to the road for the poor, the middling, or even the wealthy, takes a back seat to reducing pollution death and Ill health, and environmental damage. Youre poor, eh? Oh so sorry, carry on pollutimg then.

The Microlino has been out here for about 18 months now, quite a few on the road and have seen that there’s a few in the UK already.

Nice review here:

This is the second review by the Fully Charged Show, they seem to like it 😉

More and more micro cars around, saw plenty in the South of France earlier this year.

Does your mate still own this? I only ask because I was walking past a canalboat marina near Macclesfield last week and I'm pretty sure I saw this in it. I took a photo and checked the MOT and it's still MOT'd and taxed.

Excellent.

We need more of this sort of thing and less of the 4x4 behemoths that plague us.

My Grandfather built my micro car

This was on my shopping list but my savings said no!

I see Renault are about to release thr Duo here, essential a house trained and more refined Twizy. I'd happily have one.

Any idea where that was taken, I only ask out of interest? And if that's you, you look very smart - Sunday best?

I do hope so. The more protected drivers feel in their vehicle then the further away they are from any other road user or pedestrian out there.

More Micro cars 👍🏻

Yes it’s me, we were somewhere in Germany with the RAF. We were told always to dress smartly as we represent Great Britain them being the occupying forces.
