wow, that's tough. I currently pay 195 Euros for the 19, depends on capacity and emissions over here. it's due to rise to 270 Euros in 2005 though.

and then there's the slight matter of go-go juice, which is currently at something like 1.20 EUR per litre.

If you're curious what the irish tax works out at in GBP http://www.forex-markets.com/converter.htm

£158.98 to tax my 1.2 and £850.79 if you want to tax anything over 3 litre.

You sure that's right Chet?

You wanna see the estate near me, they drew white circle rounds them all, so we thought they were going to repair them.

That was 2 years ago...

Not damaged my car on them yet (Can't go fast enough anyway)
