The straw that broke the camels back

[xco]

I sadly have to inform the community that regrettably after 17 years of Volvo ownership I am moving on.
I recently learnt that the new road tax for my car will be £675 and THAT for a 15 year old car is totally unacceptable.
I think I have always made it clear on here how much I loved my car but with a heavy heart I have to yield ....enough is enough.

I don't like anything post P2 so time to go unfortunately.
I will still pop on here fron time to time and my wife still owns her C30 D5 so we still have one Volvo.

I have gone the way of the cat in the shape of a rather nice Jaguar XFS sportbrake in black.
I have never owned a Jag before but being forced from my beloved Xc90 who could do no wrong I thought I would try one.
It's a 3 ltr V6 D Portfolio...done only 56k and gives 35mpg around town but moves into sip mode on the motorway at 50-52 mpg (which I have already achieved so know not to be a fantasy figure).yearly road tax is only £240.00 squid...and FC insurance comes out at about £350.00 ...so in my opinion was a no brainer.

I really hate the government for what they have done to me because I really liked that car and the amount of miles I do a year I don't think I contributed to the UK's 1% pollution by any given measurement.

Anyway's .
