newbonic Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 http://staymobile.tv/emails2.html I've been toying with the idea of getting a camper van. I wonder if there will be a glut onto the market from Londoners? Given that the last place I would want to camp is London then an ex cockney camper van could be a good buy.

copydude Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I've always thought campers pretty overpriced, especially the old VWs . . . and they really are old. Better to buy one in Germany. As for the ban . . . I think the comments say it all. It will put a lot of people out of business. Not a problem with the intention, but this is hardly the time to introduce it. If banking reform will 'hurt the fragile recovery' and can be put back to 2015, where's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vin rouge Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Rich Londoners will soon be complaining that they cannot get essential workers, or are being "ripped off" with sky high prices for tradesmen. I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkins Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Rich Londoners will soon be complaining that they cannot get essential workers, or are being "ripped off" with sky high prices for tradesmen. I hope so. My old and rich London landlady complains about this all the time. She regularly has to hire tradesmen from towns 50-100 miles away as she apparently cannot get them within London. Whenever she starts complaining about how much it costs to maintain her properties, I whip out the world's smallest violin and play her a tune.

Tin Foil Hat Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 London is a playground for the rich. Anything that furthers the aim to rid it of untermenschen is good in the modern corporatist governmental approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Way Down Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 With the need for a DPF on a diesel engine, and the associated problems, it's debatable if running a diesel vehicle saves any money over running the equivalent petrol model.

geezer466 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 This will add to retail inflation in the inner city!! The likes of Tesco and the rest of them distribute by wagons, if they have had to replace or modify equipment for this useless piece of legislation then you can be damn sure they will be passing that on to the end user.

No, the regulations require engines to comply with euro 3 emission standards, I would imagine that everything Tesco runs complies with this already, and most of their fleet already run to euro 4 or 5.

the shaping machine Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 If banking reform will 'hurt the fragile recovery' and can be put back to 2015, where's the case. I assume that this is mainly to meet EU emission standards and avoid fines. see this for related stuff :- clean air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver Dan Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) http://staymobile.tv/emails2.html These are the sorts of vehicles which should have been the target of Gordon Brown's scrappage scheme: the commercial vehicles of small and medium sized companies, not the private cars of individuals. Once every business is running a fleet of post 2000 vans and lorries, then you can bring in a ban on Euro II and earlier engines.

EmpiricalBear Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 There I was regretting that I bought a 1991 T4 camper with a petrol engine. Now it seems like it may have been a stroke of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
