967.0. "1992 or another Porsche number used !!" by UFHIS::GVIPOND (Be alert !! the world needs lerts ) Fri Feb 23 1990 13:05

    
    
    
    	Does anyone know ( and for the political amongst us , I include
    	Ms Thatcher and Mr Delors )  what is happening in 1992 ?
    
    	Keeping strictly to the subject of cars of course. for example
    	will we see the disapearence of Car tax as mentioned by Patrick
    	in note 77.* levied by different countries at different rates.
    
    	Will I be able to buy a car in Germany and pay German tax and then
    	register it as English ( or indeed just European ) at the moment
    	to buy a car in Germany is cheaper than the UK, BUT you must be
    	registerd yourself as living there or buy it tax free and import
    	it back to the UK. ( I think Belgium is cheaper but these are only
    	examples )
    
    	I saw in the papers recently that we will all have to have the
    	European Community flag on the No plates , Why ? if the mass
    	majority will never go outside Europe, seems a bit pointless ?
    
    	Enough for now

The current situation is described in 930.0. I don't see 1992 changing this
rule - which is already quite flexible; however it might help the enforcement
of it.

Hows about that for blatant disregard of sacred numbers?
