All modified cars are soon to become illegal

[Prof]

You only have to take a look at Goodwood and other similar meets to realise that older cars have a following even amongst those higher up in society.  I think the government will probably not cow tow to Brussells on this issue, as they are going to have quite a fight on their hands.  However it\'s probably a good idea to get a petition rolling just as apathy is the real killer

Something similar happened in my industry and by the time we heard it was to late to stop it, i\'ve no idea how to combat such an issue but if anyone does i suggest for the sake of every enthusiast on the planet something is done very quickly.

This practical sums up the problem with the government and police force across the uk, where there are genuinely important things (huge financial crisis, unemployment etc) they spend time working on stupid things like this. Same with the police force, gun crime and knife crime are still a massive problem... But Noooooo, can\'t have people (mosty) obeying the law with modified cars!

Its not the UK buddy, its the EU making up these ridiculous rules and regs. Such as the new laws regarding the markings on tyres, the fishery laws, human rights where we cant deport known terrorists etc

I am sure the UK gov have their own stupid things going on but most of this rubbish comes from them (the EU), they have to justify their jobs (read wage packet) some how and its a lot easier to fix something that doesnt need fixing like this modified car thing than tackle issues that actually need addressing as you say above!

With regard to the above its simple, a punishment that is enough of a deterrent to make them think twice and non of this nonsense like you had last year when a known criminal with a gun got shot and his family were baying for answers and justice! Justice was served, he had said gun, he drew it on the Police, he got shot, seems pretty straight forward to me! Too much human rights nonsense when it comes to law breakers. Live by the sword, die by the sword i once got told!

Well hopefully this time next year I won\'t be in the Eu, one can hope anyway.

One thing I was proud of the government for was the EU trying to abolish SED (seafarers earning deductions) and the uk told them to ram it, it would have destroyed the offshore industry and Aberdeen is just worth too much money to the uk
