The government wants us all to be green, what can be more green then keeping a 30 year old car on the road?
Building new cars to replace cars that are only eight years old dosent seem very green to me?

I hate the idea of any of the cars I've owned over the years being scrapped.

I know somebody chopped a Rover P4 in for the scrappage scheme. It did get saved but even so!!

Im a bit like one of those old ladies that take in stray cats, who will end up with 50 cats and a knock from the RSPCA, If I had the cash and the space I think I would try to save every classic I possibly could. It's not even about classic cars, it's about any car that has been kept on the road for 20/30 plus years deserves to remain on the road.

Its been announced [at the Labour conference] that the scheme is to be

extended.

Quote.."Other modifications to the scheme will see the age qualification changed by six months to any car registered before 29 February 2000, and cut the minimum age of vans being scrapped from 10 years to eight years". Unquote..

So this could mean that more, and later 75's going for scrap..

I would like to think that there will be a cheaper, greener replacement!

Fingers crossed anyway.
