@richie500 Was the guy that tuned your engine called steve?
100% John - as a 'user' you need to be 'ahead of the curve' so to speak re. selection of company cars......and yes choose self charging hybrid and you'll save a gradually diminishing amount of BIK - you'll do better with a 'plug-in' hybrid (and you don't even need to use the 'plug-in' facility to get the benefit) - choose a full electric vehicle and you will currently get far more BIL benefit - you company also pro-rata financially benefits.......currently. I emphasise the word 'Currently' as HMG are continually 'moving the goalposts', encouraging use of supposedly 'green' vehicles and then later 'pulling' the benefits in successive years of use.
His name is Graham, he owns Rawspeed Engine tuning, he has tuned a few corvette's and American cars in the past, however now he concentrates on building one speedster engine a week and tuning Porsche's for a local garage when needed. I was lucky as my next door neighbour is his sister in law, however i still had to wait.@richie500 Was the guy that tuned your engine called steve?
Yes, those monsters from the 1970’s and before are dinosaurs nowadays. Certainly things with 500, 460, 454 428 motors etc seen unrunable nowadays. Even a 400 is bad enough. sadly some of them will full into disrepair and finally junked.Say goodbye to the comfy land yachts.
Taking the pi** big time - 5p set against what it has gone up in only a few weeks is a joke. Couple that with HMG ignoring the effects that energy prices now (and later in the year) will have for many people is an additional pi** take.I heard fuel tax is being cut by 5p a litre until march 2023. What does this mean?
Same in my area, the prices have gone up by 6p not down.....My local Shell was £1.79.9 pre Spring Statement. Day after the 5p cut it was £180.9. Two other local, not Shell, stations had reduced price by 5p to £173.9 not sure what Shell are playing at.
