HMRC punitively changing 4 door pickup rules

[difflock]

Like they are now going to be classed as cars with commensurate levels of emissions based car tax!

Buy a van

Half the people, the posers, that drive pickups don't need the off-road capability anyway. A van would surely be more practical in those cases.

I guess there will now be a new market opened up of trendy vans with extra seats in which are classed as commercial vehicles and so do not attract benefit in kind tax charges.

 

Before they abolished the tolls on the severn bridges it was a similar thing there.  Is it a van or a large car with seats?  The point being the car was something like £6 to cross, the van (no matter how small) was about £12.

I reckon a lot of the lumbersexual types driving double cab trucks wouldn’t be seen dead in any kind of van.

 

I think it’s less about tax breaks and more about image.

Completely. Probably the old pickup size is inversely proportional to pecker size.

Absolutely.

Did I tell you I’m getting a Kenworth 30t truck next?

You must have looked at your pecker on a very cold day I assume.

That'll be useful when you pull up on Mrs Miggins small suburban drive, and she'll be really impressed.

I explained this to my wife and what you meant by your comment mark, after a few seconds of contemplation she said perhaps i should get a rascal pick up.
