Adam Elsdon Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 FBVHC are carrying out a survey on how the classic vehicle movement use maintain and contribute towards the economy, and how it is a business in its own right, They want solid information to base any argument against changes in legislation that would predjudice our enjoyment of classic vehicles. They are hosting a survey on their website at the following link, it is open until the end of July, so please pass the message on, outside the MV world if required. http://fbhvc.co.uk/2011/05/24/2011-survey-now-underway-2/ While its easy to bemoan such initiatives, this one is backed by a central federation and headed by lord montagu. It only takes a few minutes to complete (Unless you own a fleet!! so that seems to be half of the forum then!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Drake Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 They didn't ask the questions I would have expected. I am already severely limited by the cost of petrol and diesel and an increase would mean I wouldn't be able to enjoy th vehicles or spread my wealth etc beacuse I would not attend shows. I have only attended half the things I went to last year. Also I do not drive in or around London, because of exclusion zones, if they were introduced anywhere else, I would not go there either. If the road tax keeps going up and other discriminatory measures are introduced for "4 wheel drive" (I only use mine in 4 wheel drive when off road) vehicles, this will also limit my activity. I will also not be able to attend events and educate those who might want to learn from me. Get off my soap box now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
