Picked up the SRT 10 yesterday evening from Ian Goss. Did his usual great job on its annual service, MoT, fitting the Corsa and a few other bits. For once its clean thanks to a valet as well. Hampton Court flower show traffic proved the Corsa does reduce cabin heat build up and it does sound rather good and it does semm to pull better from low down. So an all round success and now ready for Germany in August, hurrah!!!

Why? Mine is a Chrysler on the form and mine is 'only' £185. Is a Dodge import classed differently?

the older GTS mined included is £185, the new cars like Phils and Bazs are still £185 as they are a dodge import, where as a newer Chrysler UK registered after 03/06 are £400

there's currently a loophole where there isnt a emissions/certificate reading on some imports, so they give car tax for its engine size over 1549 cc

so you can import a new 2008 model and still pay £185 smile at the moment....
